Was going thru my pic folder and found this.
Reskins/mod I made back in 2014/2015.... F3 mods are mine, F7 mesh is JRs. Passenger cars are Landrvr1 that I modded with new trucks and airhoses, I also expanded the CZ car series out to all 79 Cars by reskinning them in all of the D&RGW, CB&Q, WP and PRR names and numbers.

I think I may have posted this back then in USA pics....

Yep, I did, 2 January 2015

A # 1 to Portland on the #19
This skin took about 4 hours to complete but still needs another 2 to finish.
Next are the warning labels and some other safety markings.

Reskins/mod I made back in mid 2017.... F3 mods are mine, F7 mesh is JRs. Passenger cars are Landrvr1 that I modded with new trucks and airhoses, I also expanded the CZ car series out to all 79 Cars by reskinning them in all of the D&RGW, CB&Q, and WP names and numbers.

@Jackson Barno: Amazing work on those F3 reskins, looks very accurate to the prototype. The colors are spot on and a lot of the mesh modifications really help to bring the whole unit together.

@n8phu: I think a page could be taken out of Mr. Barnos book. The colors on your unit seem to be too dark, the gray definitely needs to be lighter. Right now it is much too dark, the orange could also be a bit brighter. Also I would try to utilize the excellent modifications Trainz Forge made for their F3s, they help provide some excellent additional detail that your model right now seems to be lacking. Also I believe the nose wings might be slightly disoriented? Could just be perspective.
 
Thanks for the nice comments Daylightrain!

As far as details go it really is hard to pin down what modifications happened when, and to what units. Keep a lookout for a slight rework coming out soon with some detail changes reflecting different time periods in the service lives of these units (we have a spreadsheet going right now covering exact changes such as MU hoses, different colorations of cut bars, the whole nine yards). As good as my skins might be, if you look close enough they aren't perfect, which isn't good enough for me!

As far as colorations go, you can make arguments based on colorization of photos and degradation of period color film. I took samples from 805 at WPRM for my units, but weathering and sunlight can definitely make two identically painted units look completely different over time. At the end of the day it's just a stylistic choice that the creator uses. I personally think his skins look pretty good, keep it up Chris!
 
Thank you Mr. Barno, always excellent to hear from you. Weren’t you part of TEH at one point? Perhaps they could utilize your skills once again ;)
