Love them! In Trainz stealth is mostly too dark in the blue and too wishy-washy in the grey - I reckon you nailed it!

LETS GO PENS!
THE PLOT IS STILL THICKENING
WARNING, IF n8phu (Chris) sees this - DONT SCROLL YOU ARE AT RISK OF CARDIAC ARREST FROM FOLLOWING RENDER :hehe:
I warned you!
Also I wanted to thank chris again for getting me those diagrams of this loco back when I was just starting 3ds max. I think if it weren't for that motivation to create something I would have never gone through a day of 3ds max!

That's a very, very good looking model of a very, very "unconventional" looking locomotive...
The reason for it being short is so that the pantograph can have enough space to extend from the cab. The frame is from an SD40-2 so close enough on that GP38-2 part
Today, I remade my billboardz.
So far I just have them with SCP stuff.
EDIT: oh yeah and here's the current progress on the GM6C.

Ah, you mean 173? I made one for that as well, just don't get to creeped out by the drawing.
I honestly don't think I would survive an encounter with 173. UNLESS, I tape my eyes open.
Not anymore, I stopped working on that ages ago.

Don't bug him. If you carry on asking he might never do a CF7. Remember connyxy?
What's a GM6C? Here's a link to a picture of it:EDIT: oh yeah and here's the current progress on the GM6C.

What some info on what a GM6C? Here's a link to some info about it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM6C
I prefer to work with what I want.
Also, I really want to do an interior for the GM6C, but I have found absolutely no pictures of the cab. I only know that it has dual control stands for both long and short hood running.

It probably has a bidirectional stand, judging by the way the front of the cab is built out. Same system as used on the Reading SD45s and PRSL GP38s. Dual stands is exactly that, two standard control stands in the cab, which fits in the normal floor plan, just makes it a bit cramped. A bidirectional stand is a single stand in the center of the cab, with levers on both sides. The reason the front of the cab has to be built out is there is an interlocking mechanism so that only one side may be used at a time, and it goes in that extended cab front. I've never seen anything but diagrams of that kind of stand, but it's an interesting idea. I'd imagine it takes up a bit less room than dual stands, but maybe not.
Reading about it on other pages it seems that the cab probably resembled other contemporary EMD products with changes made to handle all the extra stuff. The control stands, however, seemed to take some influence from ASEA, but no one seems to know how much. It's those differences that are, of course, the killer. Most of these conclusions were drawn from peering through open windows in pictures and the 30+ year old memories of people that were lucky enough to see it in person. Rest assured though, if you ever turn up a cab photograph of one of these, the internet is filled with people searching for the same.
