Great job, man. Looks like you toned down the blue a bit, they look perfect now.

Nice reskin!
Did you say that was your FIRST reskin? I only just did my first reskin a week ago and mine doesn't look NEAR as good as that. It was a reskin of barn700s A1 Peppercorn, for personal use though. I made it the colours of my own personal railway (sure we'd all have one of those right?:hehe: ) M . B . R . L, Mitch Barlin Royal Lines. Red, with black stripes, my first A1 was named 'Sir Mitch Barlin':hehe: . My next one was jet black with a nameplate 'Black Adder', yes, I DID name it after a Rowan Atkinson character
!
Nice job again, I think I sense a natural here...

I did indeed did tone down the blue. The enchanment blue was just too dark. I checked my reference books and seen that over time the blue fades to the color that I used...

Actually, does painting the Locomotive count as a reskin, or a repaint? Either way, it is indeed my first...
I give FULL credit to NorfolkSouthern37 for the new skin to fit the F units. It is a huge leap forward over what we had. I suspect it will keep getting better with more add on meshes...
P.S. Head over to Jointedrail.com and pick up his F units (For FREE) if you haven't yet.............
Wow! Simply wow!
Just the right stuff for the C-to-C route.
Exactly!
For those who don't know, JRfalco did a Cumberland to Connellsville route over Sandpatch set in the 1950's era. WM, B&O, parts of the Pennsy, P&WV, P&LE, etc are modeled. Download it at Trainzproroute.org on their download site. I also understand it can be found on the Trainz Resource site.
TPR also did which is set in more modern times and in the winter. There is also a Christmas Amtrak special that can be run. One thing that has to be done is the KUID for the map the Amtrak session needs to be changed to get it running, check in the forum section for the correct KUID #. I also was never able to get the Coal run session to unpack. Both versions are very similar but the TPR version has fewer tracks in some areas and only goes as far as Rockwood, plus the Western Maryland is abandoned at this point, but the WMSR is modeled......
What I did do is use the C-C route, tacked on 120 empty coal and general merchandise cars in the Westbound Cumberland departure yard, put the ABBA set in Run 8, and headed for the mountains....
OH! The TPR Sandpatch route has the B&O CPL signals, JR's doesnt. I downloaded them from the DLS and have been replacing the existing ones, big improvement. Don't forget to get the signal bracket for the one CPL's. Look for Seniorchief and CXST4617 (?).
Ok, enough of my ramblings.....
