Oh my gosh, it looks more like a kitbash.
Wait, he has a G2?

No, I made a quick modification and combined elements of the CN 4-6-2, CN 2-8-2 and CP Selkirks to make a "sort of, kind of, mehhhh" version of a G2 as a private commission for someone. It's not something I really plan to make publicly available since it's not an authentic model, just a mod. I do have a commissioned lined up to make a 2816 eventually.

Not the best thing Ive ever reskined. But I like it
I should have seen this coming lol
Ok then, I guessed it was a private model since I didn't see it in the Canadian Pacific section on your site, but hey, I wouldn't mind adding a 2816 to my collection

Brandon, the re-skin template for the RS-18u can be found at The Erecting Hall, careful though as the file is in .psd format, and you need either Photo Shop or a plug-in to be able to use it 
So... guys, I went and finally applied more direct weathering to the model (and actually did some myself lol)
...And on the subject of re-skins
Not the greatest, but a rather cheap patching job... it will remain in my private collection
Also, I am very interested in making some re-skins for the CBVR as well, looks very nice.

So Steve, I wanna turn your N&W Class A into a 2-6-6-2, for a custom railroad I have, but I want to put the NKP front instead of the smooth looking coupler on the front. What would I set the attachment point so that it perfectly lines up? I also wanna add smoke deflectors. I need some help cause I am slowly getting into kitbashing.

You may want to ask Steve directly, or open a thread about it.

I'm just gonna ask because it also includes reskinning the model, but not releasing it.

Thank you! I like the texture, very good for all -around weathering, and was perfect for this specific re-skin as it helped "tone down" those bright colors to make it look more like an engine that's seen quite a few years of service - something very characteristic of the P&B. Thanks for sharing, evilcrow!

Hey again!
Thanks for the compliment, Vinnie! Thanks to evilcrow's dust/dirt/grime texture it really helps tone down those colors, combined with felix_g's excellent re-skin template and it'll make anything look pretty decent.
Here's some more to freak you out :hehe:
Just some weathering. My intention is to make at least two of these engines in this scheme, perhaps in different styles, one for example, in the standard P&B scheme that is seen on their Geeps, and second one, in the scheme MeowRailroad initially suggested, with orange text above the black portion bottom line. The only problem I have right now is I don't know who designed the P&B scheme or the logos, fonts and numerals, I've been meaning to ask Joe but I think he is traveling right now, hopefully once he returns I can ask him and he could send me some samples so I can finish the model. If anyone knows who designed the P&B logos/fonts etc. please let me know.

Some news:
Now, last night Southern1581 sent me some fonts and samples so now I am working on some CBVR RS-18u's. Right now I'm doing #17. It's a pretty nice livery:
