MP15DC overhaul

[KCJones]

Glenn, These are actually re-skinning kits. The idea behind their production is that the user can re paint them for their own use. All the texture files and instructions are included. The SP re paint files are available in the library here. The upgrade in the picture is not yet available.

The SP repaits look sharp.
I tried a little with your MSTS kits and had a little success however I am still new to Railworks so I still have to figure out what files need to be modified (like the MSTS engine files and texture files) then what I need to do is learn to repaint under Railworks and what programs I need.

I have a Missouri Pacific yellow and gray merger transition MP15 and a UP MP15 nearly ready.

I use Gimp to do the edits and save as .tga files. ToAce (From Railworks) and RW Blueprint editor to make the .TgPcDx files for the game. I prefer using RW-Tools to edit the .bin files.

If you don't have good source files, there's a program out there called 'Convim' that will convert the game .TgPcDx files to several formats.

Mike,

I am working on new UP shapes as I write. Origional UP AND ex-SP

They will be part of the upgrade

Is there a easy to read tutorial out ther to repainting? So far I had picked up (I think) most of the necessary programs.

What I used to do was make my own generic locomotive repaits in MSTS and named them like BBWX (BASIC BLACK WEATHERED).

Actually, you can't go too far wrong by downloading one of Mr. Cowen's repaint kits, his instructions are quite good. If you follow his procedure you'll get credible results. I'd suggest you get one of the passenger car kits to start.
