Show off your reskins!

It shows up fine for me.

Hey Peter, your screenshots do not appear for me on Chrome or Edge, however they do display on Firefox.

Viewing the page source provides a link to the picture hosted at AmericanTrainz.com, and following the the link shows the picture. I'm not sure why your posts appear totally blank in the forum under Chromium.

That is a pretty sweet looking Surfliner.

Ok did some googling for a solution to the missing image issue PerRock is having. it turns out to be a setting in chrome meant to protect you. Basically you need to add https:/forums.auran.com to a list of websites allowed to show unsecure content on a secure site (the forums use https where the americantrainz.com site is http for the image urls). This is where I found this info:

https://support.google.com/chrome/t...ges-display-in-url-but-not-in-html-page?hl=en

Simply add aurans forums to the allowed site list and it will work.

Found that the above only helps in chrome on a PC. Android doesn't appear to have the same setting unfortunately.

I tried to take a good picture of all the unique cars I skinned for this, but in the end it amounted to 8/more screenshots, and I doubt I can post them all in one big dump lest I get the peeps here angry at me. So, instead here's this really crappy picture of the Amtrak 1993 Auto Train.

found a way to condense it.

From top to bottom, left to right:

1. 75ft Autorack Tabbed Sill blt. 1956 for CN, ex-auto-train; 80ft Autorack blt. 1976/77 for auto-train; 75ft Autorack Streamlined Sill blt. 1956 for CN, ex-auto-train
2. Full 'Great Dome' Lounge blt. 1955 for GN, ex-BN; Dome Coach blt. 1954 for NP, ex-BN; 'Super Dome' Lounge blt. 1952 for MILW, ex-Tour Alaska, nee-CN
3. Buffet blt. 1952 for PRR, ex-PC; Buffet blt. 1949 for CBQ, ex-BN; Table blt. 1960/64 for UP; Diner blt. 1949 for AWP, ex-SOU
4. 10-6 Sleeper blt. 1949/50 for UP; 11DB Sleeper blt. 1956 for UP; 11DB Sleeper blt. 1952 for CBQ, ex-BN

The entire train is 46 cars long (for the consist list I have), took me 8 hours and 2 game crashes to finish.
 
An early prototype of my Rock Island F7A skins. Still needs some work (Fan and horn colors need to be changed, have to add a stripe, color needs to be darker, etc. Should be finished by tomorrow.

sweet rock island stuff

Thanks! I've seen your RI stuff too, and its great. Here's an update on the F's. I plan on adding more running numbers as stand-alone assets, darken the textures and contact the original creator of the asset to get them uploaded. They were reskinned from the Trainz Divide RI F7A which was reskinned from an F7A template, probably the old JR one. A B unit is also planned.

Why not use the new F7s from Trainz Forge?

True that, but I took the RI F7A from TrainzDivide and skinned it up to look more like the prototype. If I were a bit more advanced I'd use the new F's but that probably won't happen for a while. I just need to get a bit better.
It went from this:

To this:

Edit: I looked at the TrainzForge F7A files, and nothing makes sense. They're all .trainzmesh files which can't be opened with anything I have on my computer. So even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be reskinning them. Is there a way around that?
