Hello everyone! ..that's me leaning back against the keg, reading the paper. Needed some relaxation since this one was a real bugger
Coming soon, a Northern Pacific Z-6 for the RSC Challenger Pack available at the Steam Store. This repaint is intended only as a "look-alike", rather than a historically accurate model, since it still uses the Union Pacific design as the foundation. Although every effort was made to portray the visual appearance of a Northern Pacific locomotive. Features dynamic historical numbers and markings. Should be available in the next RWA Library update.
To my fellow repainters: I probably spent over 12 hours over three days, chasing down the textures for the UP shield, and finally discovered them in the "Handrails" texture file, including the bump-files. I say this because even though I alpha'd-out the obvious decal files, the UP shields persisted in appearing on the smoke-box, giving the impression that the model file, or one of the bin files, was calling on the default textures located in the original payware ap-file. So that led to several web searches, editing bin files, swapping textures, black-magic, voodoo, and other unsavory ventures. So hopefully this information saves some future painter a big headache.
