Here is the WIP Bangor and Aroostook, repaint of the famous F3UP from DTM with a fictitious B unit since I believe It does not exist in that livery. Available soon in the file Library.

Great job. You are right, the BAR had no B units. Definitely an upgrade from the now very old Britkits although they have served well.

Bangor and Aroostook initially bought four ABA sets of F3s in the late 1940s but sold the four B units to the PRR in the early 1950s long before the arrival of the solid blue scheme of the 1960s.

BAR _01 is great but I cannot get the non driver to appear. I followed the ReadMe for F3_BAR2 but it's a no show. I can't see anything obvious in the .bin file but.....

Mindenjohn, by any chance have you downloaded the second repaint? There are two separate downloads, the first one with driver and the second one without.

I downloaded both and followed the ReadMe files including the Cabview change. Both appear in the Assets list in the left hand flyout but only the crew version is visible on the track. The ND version is there but invisible.

EDIT

Found it!

The following line in F3 MKT 01_nd .bin reads:

<InteriorGeometryID d:type="cDeltaString">DTM\F3 UP\RailVehicles\Diesel\CabView\[00]F3_Cab_Bangor2_01</InteriorGeometryID>

Change to:

<InteriorGeometryID d:type="cDeltaString">DTM\F3 UP\RailVehicles\Diesel\CabView\[00]F3_Cab_Bangor_01</InteriorGeometryID> and it works.

It’s so easy to miss one bit in all those lines, glad to have found it.
