The trucks should be blue on the clean units, should be a trace of blue on the dirty ones two I think, just a FYI.

I tried switching out the trucks to a SD Blue HTC trucks,but the trucks were 3 feet off the base of the locomotive. I went and tried to reskin the flexcoil trucks that came with ben's SD7/9 pack and that didn't work, so i left them alone.

Hay UP 8328 i have a small suggestion. Slow down on making the re skins. You knocking them out so fast that the quality of them are starting to lack. Your first few re-skins looked pretty good but now your knocking everything out so fast that your missing a LOT of small details that make or break a re skin.

half of some of your re-skins make me wonder if your going by a photograph of a real thing or are you just throwing a railroad logo on their and calling it done?


Just to give a small example of what i mean. I knocked out this Amtrak F69phac in about 3 days

It made it in game in about 5 days total. i was just about to release it when someone pointed out i wasn't spending enough time on the details and getting them right.


so i started spending more time looking at the photos i had of the locomotive and looking at them closely. and i started seeing all this crap that i was missing. so i spent another 3 - 4 weeks getting everything to look right.

and it ended up looking like this

HUGE improvement.

It's late at night so i have to cut this short but if you want a few tips on what your missing send me a PM.

Yeah, I have to agree with Dylan on this one. It is starting to look like you are just slapping paint on a loco and calling it done. I easilly was able to open the textures of the trucks, and if I wanted to, I could change their color after a bit of fiddling.

And something about the colors of those units still seems a bit off. Also the faded ones need ALOT more weathering from what I have seen of the Chessie SD9s.

I am not trying to be a prick or anything, it is just something that I noticed.

And Dylan, that first thing is atrocious. Nice default blombergs. The second screen looks awesome though. Even if it is an ugly shoebox.

I'd have to agree with the rest on this. You see, my buddy spent 6 hours on a skin that I've been amazed by. Justin, Mike and Ryan spend countless hours perfecting their skins, too. Have you ever heard the term quality over quantity? If you put a bit more time into your skins, I bet they'd turn out badass. If you halfass it, then someone's bound to make another skin of the same road name.

Damnit Dillon. I have been talking to you too much because I can't help but read your posts in your voice now.

I would have downloaded this. But the paint scheme lacks detail.
