Show off your reskins!

It looks like the Delaware and Hudson Railway. Knowing my luck, it's probably some road that uses a similar paint scheme.

Nope, it's the real McCoy.

I probably won't go far with these, the Ex VRE stuff is long gone at this point.....

A better view, but it seems these things have a habit of looking better out of game:

hey NIART did you kitbash those ADA ramps or is there an asset for those?

 

[NIARTcar]

They are kitbashed from some platforms and railings.

I have a question about "reskinning" track. I am trying to create some rusty rails so I open the rail head TGA and create a rusty colored layer over it, make it slightly transparent and then flatten the image. When I go to Trainz the rails are dull but not rusty like I want they still have a slight shine. Can someone explain how to do it correctly mind you I have no idea what I am doing I've just been using trial and error.

 

[simulatortrain]

The shine is contained within the mesh or textures. One of the PEV tools lets you adjust it (specular) within the mesh. Unless the shine comes from an environment map, this will adjust it. If it's an environment map (sky reflectivity), it would be the alpha channel of either the diffuse texture. To reduce shine you would darken the image in that channel.

I've got to swallow my fear and learn to reskin that one of these days....

Same. The PRR, NYC, Erie, and the B&O all had them, and the C&NE could use some early diesels.
Great reskin Taylor!

My Beloved M-K-T used them too, but frankly that's what freaks me out. the early paint scheme (1950s era) would be hell given my current skill level, and I know I have a bad habit of trying the hardest thing first, then raging when it goes wrong and giving up. If I had any sense I'd do something simple (well, simple-r) Like one of the Sierra units....

The fruits of some Wacom labour. Will add some rust spots and more texture to it next

Looks great! The one thing that i'd suggest, is that the wings on the nose of the UP Lightning stripe model were small, like the prototype, and didn't extend unto the nose. CNW unit is nice, too!

Thank You Liking Them I Been Working Hard On Them :hehe:
