There is a SD40 over on Obo's page in that paint. Maybe you could lift it from there.

Thanks for the help. The SD40-2 in the files section is un-usable under RW 2012 since there were changes to the CN and BN SD40-2's.

I think both of them.
I picked up the ones from Here and Train-sims and moved the correct files and there is little boxes that show over the number boards and on the sides that show "missing textures". In the past they looked great. The missing textures are comming from changes made to the files since RW 2012.
I had used these locomotives in the past without a proble, after the major update to RW 2012 something changed.

Mike,
The reason for the Wheeling and Lake Erie, Ohio Steel 2 is pretty much the home area for the WL&E, plus they are one of my top regional railroads.

@glenn68
I have included the GP40 in my plans.I did not know that with the Ohio Steel 2.That could encourage me to buy.
Best Regards!
Michael.

You guys are awesome! When I get home after work I am going for the downloads.
Mike, W&LE Brewster shops are located near Massillon Ohio and Rich's route runs through Brewster. In real terms the actual rail line is ran by RJ Corman Cleveland lines. I have talked to Rich in a few emails and there are possible plans to expand from Brewster towards Canton Ohio so this is actually W&LE grounds.
I do suggest Ohio Steel 2 , yes it is 33 dollars unless you have the origonal Ohio Steel and all of your paypal information then it is only 19 dollars. Last but not least there are a few areas that are frame rate intensive but I have only a average system and the route does run fine for me. No I am not a salesman in any point but the route is really good and I feel it is worth the money.
I tried the older versions of the W&LE locomotives but since the major updates RW does handle the files differently so I see boxes that say texture missing. I cloned a few of Riches scenario's and swapped out the player locomotives using RW Tools but preserving the scenario.
!!*ok*!! !*salute*! !*YAAA*!

Glenn
P.s. Mike can you put the repainted GP40's to the front of the line! LOL!

If you are up for it, you can make your own set of autonumbers and then use Kali's autonumber script to place them where you need to. It will even take care of turning off the original numbers.
