Repaint by Buzz456 (Buzz Baxter)
I want to give a big thanks to Styxx and Mad Mike for inspiring me to attempt my first re-paint and to PapaXpress and Kali for helping me through the mysteries of the files in Rail Works. In the next year I hope to understand about 10% of what these guys know.

My only request, if you do pass these on, is that you include this original readme file
