Absolutely. And now I know how to make a nice clean canvas too. So thank you for that as well. !*salute*!

Not quite man. I mean just look at the list of railroads that bought these geeps. And this isn't even including shortline railroads and leasing companies that bought them second hand:

We're not even close.

And here they are:

They'll be coming together in a pack.

What's that? Not good enough you say?

Well then, let me sweeten the deal:

That's four GP9s in the pack. The only real gripe is that I couldn't get the white SOO GP9 to accept 3 digit road numbers. So while the numbers are for the most part correct, I had to tack a 0 onto the end of each one. But it's a minor complaint in my opinion.

I'll be sending them to Hawk shortly.

Why not just use the UP Geometry file?

The UP GP9 has dynamic brakes on it. SOO didn't have dynamic brakes on their geeps.

Is there a way you can use Michael's numbering pack and then 'x' out the unwanted digit? I did this with the BLLW bay windows caboose and it worked.

That fixed it! Thanks Papa. I just sent Hawk an updated version of the pack.

You are sooooooo lucky. I am jealous !*roll-laugh*! I have some old cutoffs of both Grand Funk and REO from my father. They were very hard to find and illegal back in those days here in Bulgaria because of the communist regime.
BTW I play the bass !*YAAA*!

You would like the bass in this then (even tho I can't understand half of what they are saying) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=040JVTVo ... r_embedded Yeah, off topic, hope Hawk let's it slide. Really like that tune.

O.T. but can't help chiming in, too... I don't know much about Grand Trunk but love the Grand Funk! A FAV of mine... saw them back when guest bands were warm up bands... they were guests for ZZTop but we called G.F. back for 2 encores; no one was in a hurry for them to leave! Great "...we're gonna have a party..." band! (I used to enjoy playing Shinin' On and Black Licorice on my well-worn '65 Mustang)
