Repainting

Well, I'm going to leave it at that. There are three people who did those same settings and did not get mismatched Engines. Something else was wrong somewhere that was corrected somewhere. As I stated, one setting effects all Engines. I don't think new Engines have to grow up to be big Engines....except on Thomas The Train

I will now take requests for models. maybe Southern Pacific, Canadian Pacific or CSX.

How about the Milwaukee Road.

BN - here is a great site for getting shots (over 200,000) of engines from different angles to help you in your quest: http://www.railpictures.net/

Ok, I will model a miliwakee road unit. I like the pictures on that site to snoopy55, thats where I found the picture of the Western Pacific unit.

That would be sweet! Been hoping someone would make an engine with the Milwaukee Road colors. Used to clime in them when I was 6 and 7 The engineers would let me ride in them untill they left town.

Great. Just finnished the nose and will add the orange to the side, which is all black, and black to the rear, which is all orange.

I have finnished half of the side and the rear of the engine and I think I will do a different number than 351 and use a number off of a GP40 since it seems to resemble a Milwaukee Road GP40 better. Then maybe a Milwaukee Road F7.

I can't wait to see this.

Thanks for the program Rodea2007. I am downloading it now. Is there a way to take screen shots in nif skope? Then I could show the progress a little better.

[snoopy55]

Yes there is, just get it set in the way you want it and press 'Print Scrn' on your keyboard. From there you paste it to GIMP and cut the size you want to post, making note of the size at the bottom, maybe 512 x 512, paste it into another window the same size and you have shots like I use in Building Blocks. Your engines, with the needed XML code, will eventually end up there, unless you say otherwise.

Where does the pic go after you click print screen?
