My first ever repaint for railworks SD40T Bessemer

[Celidude]

We need some hoppers for them I also repainted some ore cars for Bessemer but haven't posted anything on them yet then after that we need the route lol but witch version of paint you doing on the F. Units

I want to do the Pre SD38-2 era paint, Orange body, black roof and the stripe. Hoppers shouldn't be too hard, just use the 100Ton donationware ones or for earlier trains the 70Ton repaints for GAOR NYC 70s. I could probably get the track laid for a B&LE route soon, I just finished laying the rails for the NS lines going past my house that connect to the Shenango Yard in Greenville.

I actually just finished a quick SD7 of the same era; took pics of my N-scale #452 and pasted them in on GreatNortherner's model. I still need to figure out how to get rid of the cab logo. I'll go back and take better pics and clean it up later, I'm still learning the process.



Paired up with your T-2s:

I wish I could get these to work. I can't find the folder to copy the Geo files from. Just to clarify it is under the Donnor pass folder correct?

DonnerPass folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)>Steam>SteamApps>common>RailWorks>Assets>RSC>DonnerPass>RailVehicles>Diesel>SD40T-2>Default>Engine
I also had to double-click and zero-out the default road numbers or you get the white error boxes over the Bessemer logo.

sounds like a good plan to me i can even try to do the F7's

I do hate to be a bother, but in the SD40t-2 folder I'm only seeing 3 .bin files and 3 .xml files, no geo files. Even verfed the cache

I would delete the files and reinstall them

Is the SD7 actually that small compared to the sd40-t2, or is it just a little off-size

Could be a little of both. The pics I'm using from my model are ending up a little big, especially in the battery box area, so the model might be a little out of scale but I don't have a T-2 to compare mine to at the moment. My N-scale T-2 is in pieces so I can't really do a proper side-by-side. I do have some regular 40-2s I can try though.

*edit* Took a similar shot using SD40-2s both in-game and with scale models, the in-game version is ever-so-slightly smaller then the scale model but not nearly as much as it seems.

Just for the heck of it, I had a look in this same Donner Pass folder on my PC, and that Engine folder is completely empty. Has been a while since I ran the route, tho. The main Donner route isn't an .ap file, is it? (or if that would even make a difference)

[buzz456]

Yes the main Donner is a .ap.

That's awesome how does the 3300 have the banner on the side I want it!

Yeah I have it already but it don't have the banner on the handrails like that one does in the video.

Getting this when placing the engines

[Celidude]

Double click on the loco after it's placed, it will open a fly-out on the right. Remove the 4-digit number it has assigned to a 3-digit number. It will make those boxes disappear,

Thank you much
