Yep, I'm trying to replicate the stainless sides on the WP passenger units.
Show off your reskins!

Yep. I wish there was a better way to get reflective siding on the F units, but for now, it's the only solution. Thanks!

Those really look great.:udrool:
I want to share some shots of a reskin in progress. I realize I won't be able to release this since it's based off of JR's locomotive. But that doesn't stop me from trying my hand at a DECENT reskin. I would appreciate feedback on the work so far. I know it's not done...but the idea is for my fictional regional railroad, the Augsburg & Concord Railroad to have pulling the commuter cars, an F40ph would be perfect (considering the timeline is mid-1980's). The colors are Dark Green over Yellow. Here's where she stands so far:
There's a yellow line on the rear that I can't find yet, and I know some of the roof lines need to be darker. But otherwise? What do you think?

Got the first F3 done!
If Tim's wasn't good enough you might want to do more than put put the reflective sides and Zephyr lettering on them. Based on an image of his it looks as if you've just taken his and added this based on the plow, roof lining and logo and number placement: http://hostthenpost.com/uploads/8c23b79ab66e1b1834e99cbb6a88a99c.jpg
Should this be true I would find this disturbing seeing as it was the numbering you claimed was incorrect...
Just double checking really, because I see next to no difference between yours and Tim's old release other than the reflective panels (might want to extend these to the cab sides too. I have seen pictures of restored and repainted F units where it is just the side but the original seems to have had it to the front as well
)

These are my own. I didn't use Timo's purely because I didn't like the colors and such. If it's the numbering you're worrying about, I just used Timo's in the interim because it is somewhat more correct than what I had on-hand at the moment. The numbers he used aren't correct for the FP7s that the WP received in 1950, but they are correct for the F3s the WP recieved in 1947, so I had no quarrels with using it for the moment. If you want I can show you the WIP pics that I showed the EH crew when I was doing them.
The reflective panels only extended to the cab door, although the front part was polished to be shinier than just bare metal. I know this because I have in front of me a picture of the A-B-B set of F3s led by 801 at Salt Lake City. The locomotive is angled towards the sun and it can clearly be seen that the reflective panels end at the door.
If you actually looked at the picture you would see that the colors are more accurate (not a shade of light red/pink/bright orange, but rather a lighter, more flat orange), the logo doesn't extend out too far like it does on Timo's units, and the various other details (such as the pilot) are a different color altogether (his being light blue, mine being silver).
A while back, I admittedly did try to modify his FP7s, but I quickly found out it was easier to just do my own than to modify someone else's skin. After all, if you want it done right, do it yourself!

Almost done with these... Hopefully they don't cause any more controversy than necessary. :hehe:
