Two more switchers on the way...

Making the stripes match is a real challenge, it's not at all intuative.

also love the Rio Grande loco. is it going to have any extra parts from the payware pack or are we going to be able to use this one without any bare spots without having the payware pack?

This one is a freeware job, will only need the freeware download. The MoPac is a freeware job as well.

I'm working on aliasing a better horn, the default one seriously sucks. *!lol!*

Just couldn't resist... One of the D&RGW SW1200s had roller bearing trucks (#134) and another (#138) Had block bearing trucks... Sooooo...

There's two D&RGW SW1200s in one package. !*roll-laugh*!

The MoPac and D&RGWs are uploaded.

Hmmm... Amtrak 551, and Quincy 5 & 12, Maybe a Yellowcap ATS&F. **!!bang!!**

I officially intensely dislike you... !*roll-laugh*! SO far the MoPac RS3 engine has been like **!!bang!!** there's a heck of a stretched area right where the skin rolls over the edge of the hood. I think I have a usable workaround though, will see tonight.

OK, remembering this is a WIP and needs more work, here's my first RS3...

Lots of petty details to finish, but so far so good.

Sorry about that Mike, I guess I should have sent links to the easier MoPac scheme. But it is looking nice!

Actually, It's working out nicely, almost finished... still trying to find which color swatch does what, no legend for this one.

I'll get the CNW done, then a pair of easy ones, the AT&SF Yellowcap SW1200 and RS3.
