While Bob is a known hater of Facebook the majority of us and the majority of the community is on there in one form or another.

I have had a FB page for a few years now. I posted twice to answer other people who found it. Yes I hate FB more than anyone can hate.

Yeah, though I walk through the valley of death I fear no evil cause I am the meanest mutha in the valley.

I had an M16 with a grenade launcher underneath, called an over and under. Nothing could escape me... geometry really helped me drop grenades right where I wanted them. We used to have contest. But the most fun was calling in a strike from a battleship. 16 inch shells are awesome!!!!

Let's try to get back on topic OK?

SWEET!!!!! Hope the paint shows unlike on the Amtrak SW1500 (Not bashing).

I'd assume that's because the person who made it did not replace the nm/nmc texture file.

I didn't know that the nmc file needed edited as well. When I opened it up, it showed as a solid color. The Amtrak SW1500 showed up fine on when I ran it in TS2017. If it needs fixed, I will look into and see what I can do.

All you have to do is convert your dds into DXT3 and import it to the nmc and you should be all set.

Test this and see if that fixes the issue with the Amtrak SW1500. If so, I will upload an updated version to the File Library.

Getting back to the OP, this looks great. I had thought this was a needed repaint, especially for the Chicago Yard scenario on the Racetrack route. Currently you move Metra cars with a GP38 from BNSF, but would be great with a Metra SW1500. I was going to repaint this, glad to see it already done.

This is what I have after adding those textures:

I will look into it more. It shows normal on my computer. Not sure what is going on, but I am still new to repainting for TS20xx. Most of my experience comes from repainting for FSX.

You didn't redo the 'SW_engine.nmc' texture from the looks of it.

[wlenz781]

Check the zip file I uploaded in a previous post.

[buzz456]

I just did. Read my post again. The 'engine' one is not there.

Ok, still working on this. Had something at work tie me up all morning. Will try dropping the whole package on Dropbox so you can test it and then I will upload it to the File Library.

*Edit*
Just created the Dropbox link. Try this and see if it is still messed up.

I just checked it and it should be fine now. Be aware that the Geo was still in there on the dropbox upload.

I know, I wanted to make sure that all the files that were in the zip file worked. I will be removing the link in a few days, and upload this to the File Library.
