Reskins thread: Must be your own work. Mostly 1024x768 I'd say.

You mean like this?

Exactly. You need to release them. What track is that? Unless it's the default in 09 or something.

My SD40-2 in BNSF Heritage I. This is still a WIP.

Hey applegathc, where did you get those GP9u's? Nice models.

For a long time I've tried to get Long Island's new scheme right. It's been a bugger. I think I finally have it. First, Josh Harvey's SW1500 standing in for an SW1001:

Next, re-trucking the SW1500 gets a credible MP15 to stand in for Long Island's MP15AC's:

Fascinating paint scheme. It's so colorful it look like it just has to be fake... but it's not.

Moving on to Illinois, the Chicago & Illinois Midland sold their SD38-2's to UP and replaced them with SD20's, here about to cross the Sangamon River heading toward Springfield with empties from the barge loader at Havana on a layout that I am making:

I believe I bought the SD20's from Digital Roundhouse, but the website went away, so I cannot buy anymore from them. I lost the original trucks, sounds, etc. in a drive crash, but managed to still have the mesh. So I decided to make a green C&IM skin for myself.

Try these public relations shots...

I made these a long time ago... 2003 or so.

Going for a red version of Susquehanna's "Yellow Jacket" scheme:

Demoted from mainline service, the Cincinnati Southern's GP9's have been working in local and yard service.

Greener Cities? Must not be a railroad town...:hehe:
That is very good that your pa started a site on that issue.
We need to do more to improve our surroundings. Flourecent light bulbs are a start and quitting littering is a very good move.
Please give him my congrats!

I saw the funniest thing yesterday!

We were on I-40 and a hatchback passed us pouring smoke and fumes out its muffler. What was funny was there was bumper stickers all over it saying;
"Save the Trees"
"Heal the Earth"
"Tree Hugger"
"Save the Rainforest"
and here is the funny one,
"Pollution=Earth Murder"
:hehe::hehe::hehe::hehe:
What is wrong with the picture here?!

Diecastgalore's U25B reskinned into four different Pittsburgh & Lake Erie schemes (but I only have screenshots of three of them, one produced errors). P&LE purchased early production U28B's which shared the U25B's nose:

Only six engines wore this paint scheme. U28B's 2808 and 2818 were two of them:

Next, Chesapeake & Ohio:

In 1992, CSX purchased P&LE, operating for a while under the name of Three Rivers RR (TRR). What if... (This needs cleaning up.)

What if CSX transferred their ownership of P&LE over to NYS&W, of which they own 40%? Not realistic at all, but...

I tried that with RF&P, too. The long hood gets messy.

Hatchback does not equal camelback. No coats staying "white from noon 'til night upon the road of anthracite". Perhaps overfire jets, thermic siphons, and adding a combustion chamber to the front of the firebox may help. :hehe:

Was the car made by Alco?

 

[mbv67]

If I saw some Pennsylvania or NYC or New Haven U25B's and into the dreaded Penn Central and Conrail then I'd get all of them including those Penn Central/New York Central F7's.

HaHa:hehe:
No actually I believe it was a '88 Honda Civic.
This person probably preaches flourescent light bulbs, man, get a muffler first!:hehe:

 

[jadebullet]

Was the car made by Alco?

Yes, it was actually. Alco made a few cars in road island, and even won the vanderbuilt cup one year.

well to get back on topic a little thing I'm working on:

From what I understand, they made a pretty decent automobile.

Okay, I guess I'd better post a reskin:

Since this screenshot, I have actually numbered the unit (I couldn't decide). Unfortunately, the large gyrating headlight must be black or else the frame, fuel tank, pilot, handrails, etc. will also turn the same color. I haven't managed to get that blue strobe light to change color yet. Yellow or white/silver would be more appropriate for a locomotive in the United States.
