The updated F Mega pack is being uploaded as I write this!!!!
It should all be ready tomorrow (UK time) after I have updated my web site. It is too late now and I need my sleep

The E8 B units (updated) are also now available for download. You will need to redownload the E8 Xtra pack and load the updates manually

While I have got the E and F shapes hot I will next do some FPs. they are only stretched Fs after all!!!! FL9s will come later

Wonderful! Now the E8s I have completed can be uploaded.

Only one little downside: there are 14 F series locos to update...

You going to have to re-do all your stuff for Dick Cowen's update?

I just found a real bonus for me... The new F7/9s will use the same skins as the E7/8/9!!!!!! WHoohooo........

Just finishing up the City of New Orleans update, and put the E8 skin on the F9, and added the ICG logo, done.

The same skins!!! Anything to make life easy!!! Just remember the Es are longer than the Fs so the skins have to be squashed laterally slightly

Only matters for the fonts and side logos, the noses work perfectly...



Only change made was to sub the ICG logo for the IC diamond. I still need to copy the skin to the fittings folder, so the horns and other stuff get the right color. I will release this with dual headlights.

How do you get the curved lines on the engine nose so precise? I've tried to do a couple of Southern Ry. F-units with poor results.

I describe the method here... http://railworksamerica.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=26149#p26149

Work in double size to begin with then reduce when you have what you want.

Thanks MadMike. Somehow I missed that post. It's very helpful.
