Sweet!

That's a very dynamic livery ( reminds me of a JPS Lotus :) ). DRGW had some fantastic livery designs.

Not entirely sure what to do about the roof of this boxcar, taking the shading off completely makes it a bit flat, but you can't really do new shading without something to work from ( unless you're totally insane and do it with trial & error ) and the original just won't line up right.



Bit flat & featureless, hm?

[bsrrco]

Mad Mike, Thank you for all your Missouri Pacific repaints they look fantastic on the Up "ex MP" Van Buren Sub route i am working on

[thecanadianrail]

good enough for me! now only if we could get the autonumbers to work.....should ask jones if he knows how?

[Kali]

I know how; you move the autonumber panels in the model :P. That is rather beyond me, you'd have to beg Mr Cowen for a special model export. I think you want up to 6 digit numbers also.

[PapaXpress]

I will eventually need to repaint that 40' into SP colors, and I would like to see six numbers

[Kali]

I have an idea for movable autonumbers, but it's making me cry inside a little.

[PapaXpress]

It might be simpler to ask Dick to add them in.

[Kali]

Oh it absolutely would, but the moment of inspiration gave me a solution to anyone's autonumber problems. Implementing it is what's making me cry :P

Before I release them, some historical info on the FTs. The engines were originally sold as A-B pairs with a drawbar between the units. There were A units without dynamic brakes (GM 103) and two generations of dynamic brakes (DRGW 548 is first gen). There was a short B unit, coupled permanently to the A unit that had dynamic brakes later. A longer B unit with a passenger boiler and no dynamic brakes. And a longer B with both generations of dynamic brakes, with and without boilers. ATSF was the first road to order the FTs with couplers on both ends of the B units to make them more flexible.

I'll upload the two FT variations and the ATSF E7 tomorrow.

Edit: FTs are uploaded, going to wait on Kali and KCJones to get the lower headlights working before uploading the E7.

Think I'm about as far as I'm going to go without pulling my hair out on the roof. Need opinions on the colour, I think it's a bit dark ( but it is weathered ), but I'm a long way from Canada. Ignore the autonumbering I haven't done anything about yet.



More, and more, and another.

Ignore the lack of AA too, ATi still haven't fixed it in windowed mode.
