Detail on bogies is a pain. I could have spent more time but didn't really see the need. Minus some grafitti the real life unit I used for inspiration it isn't far off from what I did to it. Just dusting of rust and patches at the front and rear.

Psst...hey styckx, I found a bug!

Image

This only appears when in the cab; the outside view is fine. My guess is that the problem comes from the fact that your instructions said to use the Rio Grande cab for all the repaints, except the Rio Grande locomotive has dynamic brakes and not all the repaints do. Should I swap the cab geometry files in the non-dynamic repaints with, say, the SOU cab?
I am become rust, ...destroyer of trains.

Drop the southern cabview geo in there instead for the non-dynamic brake locos. (over write the other). :)

Sorry about that.. I did have a beta up of this for awhile to try to eliminate things like this. !*don-know!*

Not really much I can do about it at this point, it's not exactly a patchable thing..

Change the number to 22 in the right flyout. The nymber will be gone off the carbody, and still be good for the game.

I only made it with the intent as a display piece really or tow piece at most. Hence it only comes with a single set of numbers so when you plop it down it has no numbers. The lights were also never intended to actually be used.
