I made many reskins and objects for MSTS and I wanted to know if I could do the same for RS2015. So thank you very much Sir for your positive comment :)

Well why not do both?

thanks for your positive comments. Here is the first complete N. More to come so stay tuned.]


It looks nice weathered, but if I were you I would shade in a darker grey from the top and the bottom.

Most of those N models still look pretty new, so I'm hoping we can also have a shiny one.

Hi guys,

once again, thank your for your positive comments and ideas.
So the first pack is finished. Four "mate" units (1586, 1735, 1780, 3036) and four "shiny" units (1552, 1617, 1554, 9999). All have the same light weathering as they seems clean on pics I have seen.
For those who like when it's greasy and dusty, you won't be dissapointed with what's cooking in the paintshop.
Now, I need to know how to pack them and also how to upload. So any tip will be realy appreciated.
Well, enough talking, here comes the pics !

Very nice work! I appreciate you offering 4 of each 'finish', which will allow these units to blend in better in consists with other UP locos.

They all look sharp, don't know why they don't have dynamic numbers.

Because the model doesn't support them in the right location.

Beautiful textures. While you're in the paintshop with those CSX and conrail paints don't forget NS!!! I would also like to see an exUP FEC sd40-2 and a Champion scheme as well. Would have no problem helping you at because I know how hard these things can be. Keep up the great work !!howdy!!

Thanks for your positive comments. By ex-UP FEC, you mean this ?

Here is a 5 unit pack from FEC ex-UP units. I will upload it soon and will look fine on Miami route.
My UP SD40N pack has already been uploaded but still not available. I don't know how long it take to put things on the file library.
Sorry Shawn52 but I will not pm you. Reskins are made to be shared with the community, not for the benefit of only one person. I am sure you will understand that *!!wink!!*

The lettering looks too small, also some the the SD40-2's dont have the FEC Logo on the side.
