Bad night to be an Extra board engineer.............

Seems one of the dispatchers back west had the idea that 2 older C424s could hump a bunch of empty 86 foot auto parts cars east and then pick up a helper set and keep on going till it was off his sheets.

It was a workable idea, except no one asked the second unit. It had decided it wanted the night off and wouldn't load above run 2.

So out you went. Seems that this mess has backed up the railroad, so the DS says to move it, your blocking his line.

Taken on the Marias Pass route from Trainz driver, updated with the JR Dark Grey track, My BN F7s (Gotta get my site fixed...) and TS2010.
 
Well this particular loco came with a PSD file, which is a photoshop document. It had 3 layers, background grey layer, detail layer, and weathering. With the layers I could paint behind the detail layer, and it would show the details on top of the paint, then I would save it as a Targa file over top of the main paint file for the loco, in this case the sd9.tga

Other creators do not give away psd's, so you have to find other ways to repaint, most of which I suck at, lol.

Hope this helps,
Josh
