These are freeware repaints, ©2014 by Micheal Calvin, and may be shared freely as a stand alone item or as part of a scenario as you wish, but may not be sold as payware or sold in a payware package. My only requirement, is that if you do pass these on, you must include this original readme file. You may NOT include the RSC shape (.GeoPcDx) files under any circumstances.

Some of the lettering styles, logos, shields, and phrases used in this repaint are the intellectual property of the BNSF Corporation and used under the TS 2014™ license with that body. The Carknocker Font is @2011 by Pete Willard, used with permission.

I make no representation of fitness of purpose or suitability, and am not responsible if these files damage your computer, cause it to cease function, or if they actually work like they're supposed to.

Installation:

The repaint requires the installation of the Marias Pass DLC, a  payware package.

Each skin/repaint model installs as a separate folder in the Railworks main directory under:
