Does the NS SW1500 actually have ditch lights?

I was looking for something to buy and one of the things I wanted to get was the NS SW1500. I noticed it had no ditch lights in the thumbnail and photo and was curious about that, because in the Features area it listed it as having ditch lights. I don't want to buy a product that doesn't have ditch lights because I intended to also use this loco for private reskinning. So, does this loco have ditchlights, or doesn't it? Also, are there any GP7's or GP9's that have ditch lights, and how do I remove the alpha texture from the SW1500 so I can reskin it?

the NS SW1500 does not have ditchlights. AS far as i remember none of the GP7s or 9s at this point have ditchlights either.

We do not give reskin instructions or advise how to remove parts of our models for purposes of reskinning.
 
McHawkman has a most excellent freeware model that is reskinnable and will keep you out of trouble.............

Don't worry, I am not going to release it, I just want to know for personal use. In that case I will probably get the Guilford GP9.
 
McHawkman's also has a PSD available to make reskinning very easy. You can get it in the Templates section at http://sufferinpacific.weebly.com/ He also allows reskins to be uploaded to the DLS so you can share them and people can use them in multiplayer sessions.
