EMD F-Series Rebuild

[wingsofphoenix]

This is Part 1 of my current project, the reworked F-Series A- and B-Units.

They were difficult to repaint and I wasnt happy with the shape and size.
So I gave it a more prototypical look, with some new details.

Version 1.0:

• - seperated sides without decals
  - many new details, like cab interior with engineer
  - optional parts (explained below)
  - Polygon Count: F7-A up to 8041 , F7-B up to 5272
  - 3 Dual Engine Versions (ATSF 238 Freight, ATSF 306 Passenger, D&RGW 5654)

Optional Parts:

• - 3 types of dynamic brake fan (none, 36", 48") as seperate shapes
  - optional steam generator for passenger engines (red border)
  - optional second (lower) headlight (green border)
  - 3 different grill types
  - and more

Most of them can just be alphaed out to remove them, as I did on some of the 3 sample versions (like removing roof overhang, tank skirting, horizontal headlight,...)

Not all of the optional stuff is included, eg. I have also blank versions of F3 and F9. I have sent snoopy all that stuff, he will most likely make them into construction kits at some appropriate time.
Can be found here then.

Well for now here are 3 finished versions:
