They're just re-textures, so even if they aren't JR's he would have a near impossible time releasing them.

Ben, these are awesome! What's your weathering(?) technique?

 

[bentrain14]

Hard to say at the moment. Ill try to explain, different brushes, layers and so on. Now who knows, these are a huge improvement to my previous skins. However I can tell you the GEVO's will 99.9% never be released. But who knows. And I dont really want to be affiliated on the JR team so if they dont give permission Im ok with it.

 

[bentrain14]

heres my first on a non JR locomotive.

 

[chris2001trainz2010]

needless to say, these are awesome reskins!

 

[bentrain14]

Thank you very much.

You should take on the coaster bbl

 

[bentrain14]

Ok, should I make the trucks blacker? This could be a possible release.
EDIT:forgot the pics also, it looks way better in game.

bentrain14, I wish you could do some of your "magic" on the RRMods Western Pacific GP40s.

Or the GE U Boats in Western Pacific on the DLS...

 

[bentrain14]

Is RRmods still alive? Id have to get their permission for release. Ill see about it.

 

[Southern1581]

They're still alive and kicking, but as far as permissions go I'd assume it'd be about the same as JR.

 

[bentrain14]

Ill look into it. Here are a few more for the night.

 

[chris2001trainz2010]

cool! those blombergs could be a little darker to match the color scheme.

just my 0.02

 

[bentrain14]

Ill get to that thanks!

Maybe have some "Southern" lettering peeking through the NS logo? There's one in our local yard that you can almost see all the Southern letters! Saw another one the other day that had the Southern letters showing through along with CNO&TP below the number board under the engineer's window.

I need pictures... lol. I'm trying to get a few releases to you guys.

These are actually not all that rare as NS is actually made up several smaller companies, most of the railroads absorbed by NS are now subsidiaries of NS, they employ their own employees and maintain their own loco's but operate under the NS name, only reporting marks separate them. This is why NS is actually the Norfolk Southern Railway, the more widely known Norfolk Southern Corporation is actually just a railroad share holder. Just a little known fact about NS, see more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norfolk_Southern_Railway

Sorry for hijacking, great re-textures though! Maybe you could try doing some ex-CR patches?

 

[bentrain14]

Thats really interesting.

Thanks, also, while we're on the NS topic, could you do this car? Not sure if NS intentionally did it or it's just funny weathering...
