Thank you! I hope so as well! The GP30 stands out amongst the classic EMD models for it's unique styling. I picked the USLW GP30 to reskin because CG's version did not have automatic running numbers. This is one reskin I wish I could release, but again good luck on getting perms. We do need a new GP30 model with ARN and that covers a majority of the companies who ever owned one. Still, I'm proud of this reskin. It took me a little while to get the skinning work done. Plus figure out and squash all the texture bugs. I even tinkered with the blue and yellow to make sure they were accurate? As a fellow ATSF reskinner, do the colors on my GP30u Freightbonnet skin look accurate?

Thanks! I've been tinkering with the color toning of the GP30u last night. I've tried different settings such as hue and saturation. I may retry the hue setting to get a richer shade of yellow that is also Santa Fe ish but darker too. I look forward to grabbing the Kodachrome GP35s once they're released!

After more tinkering with the coloring, I think I got a pretty nice result.

Coloring looks spot on Sir
Good Evening my Friend,
Just dropped in for a bit to see how the Yellow Colors were coming along, yours looks spot on, I use to see lots of these ATSF Locomotives in Southern California as I grew up before all the Mergers.
Your work is impeccable.....Thank you for all the hard work and attention to detail........

Colors look good to me. I too grew up in SoCal during the 70's / 80's, and spent many a days railfanning Cajon Pass along with various other SoCal hot spots. It's too bad we don't have an updated GP30 for the sim. Maybe JR will surprise us one day.

It's nice to see you again HoggerDrew and I didn't expect that nice British reskin!

I was today years old when I realised that LEGO loco was a 47...
Before someone makes something we can make do with what we have, CloakedGhost has a NW GP30 for five bucks.
This barely qualifies as a reskin, more of an edit.
This resembles 4700-series BNSF C44-9W locomotives, which used a narrower front "cigar band", resembling the one used on Santa Fe's widecab motors.
Like I said, this mainly appeared on 4700-series motors, which I believe were the first ordered by BNSF, but also overlapped a little with the later wide band that appears on the later 4700s and 4800s-4900s.
And of course, how could I do this and not acknowledge BNSF 4723? Something about this feels wrong...
