I just loaded it up with the first GEO from the default model. One of the others might show numbers. I'll have to go look.

Buzz,

Again that is part of the problem. The repaint DID come from BLLW we just can find where it is from. I am beginning to suspect it was part of the RWA package BLLW did. When I sent buzz the files (as a repaint so it has no GEOs) it was because I knew he already had caboose from previous conversations. Now I am wondering if I did this in error.

PapaXpress,
Oh, ok.
I was looking at making my own repaint. The PSD files that comes with the kit is actually really good and I have the proper P&LE Hearld to match, but if I was to release the repaint without the geo and there is one out there, I dont want to step on anyone's toes.
I am a big Montour and P&LE fan.

That is strange. Are you using RW_Tools?

Pappa,
Yes, I am using RW Tools to clone the default caboose.
I never had where SERZ crashed while cloning a asset.

Not sure what to tell you. I haven't had a problem with cloning and repathing the BIN file for this model.

Try opening a copy of the original BIN and changing the description and then saving it. If that works perhaps serz does not like one of the changes you made in your previous attempt.

The short story for repainters is that there are a few GEOs you can choose from on this caboose, and each one will have the numbers positioned in a different place. There is document that comes with the repaint kit which talks about this.
