Next to be repainted, Reppo's super EMD SW1 in Chessie System colors. Still a lot of small details to be found first and then repainted, including the rungs and handrails, but it's coming along nicely.

Slowly but surely, the EMD SW1 loco in Chessie System livery nears completion. Rivets and the like still need to be found and repainted in the right color.

At last, the light at the end of the tunnel. There are still a few trinkets to be found, but it shouldn't be long now. Very pleasant to drive, by the way. !*cheers*!

I need help. How did you get the cabview to show up properly. It's been driving me nuts off and on for days.

I've created a new Geopcdx file in the Cabview folder with the name Chessie. I have to edit the new geo in TS_Tools by changing the name and finally I have to edit the bin file of the loco by putting the name Chessie on the line: CabView\[00]SW1_CAB_Chessie</InteriorGeometryID> If you want I can send you the whole thing.

On behalf of Buzz and I, thank you, we've both been chasing the rainbow on this. Excellent work on the Chessie.

Guess what? I just need to find one more rivet to repaint it, and then I can finally send it to the file library! I'd like to tell you that this was the first repaint of this locomotive, and it will definitely be the last.

Two single-numbered locos are ready, just two more to complete, and I'll send them off for publication.
