Show off your reskins!

[epa]

I still remember all the crap I made back in 2021 and 2022. Looking back, I see a lot of arrogance on my part, especially when dealing with criticism. Being older now, I've gotten better at reskinning and managing my reaction. I'm glad I'm where I am today, and having just learned kitbashing I expect the quality of my reskins to get much better. Thanks!

Hey, we all gotta start somewhere man. I still haven't figured out kitbashing.

I haven't reskinned anything in a good while (all my Trainz content is still on my retired PC while I figure out my new Mac setup), but some of my early work (not counting TRS2006 paint shed stuff) was... rough... to say the least. I need to get my content moved over and get a gray-market copy of Photoshop working again.

Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see what you do in the future.

Fixed up the paint around the cab. Looks quite a bit better IMO.

Not perfect by any means but I'm happy with how they turned out.

The perfectionist in me will, quite unfortunately, never let small things go. Been spending some time re-doing the sides of ALL of my fluted steel coaches (close to a hundred), and I must say, a little bit of gradient makes one hell of a difference. On the left is my old standard fluting texture; on the right, my new one

Fitted my Santa Fe #5000 with a sealed dual-beam headlight, similar to N&W 611 and NKP 765. Trying to decide if I like the look or not.

And a shot of the 5000 out on the road today...

The benefits are better visibility (a huge plus if you ask the 611 crew), and built-in redundancy. The negatives are that it doesn't look like her original headlight. Though that would be the latest in a list of things I've "modernized" the 5000 with (continuous blowdown, 2 extra dynamos (for power to the coaches, 2nd used to charge the PTC batteries for use on roads where PTC is active)). What do ya'll think?
