Looking great, will be looking forward to the release.

You've done a superb weathering job on the paint!

[MadMike1024]

Superb as always!

Some of the bloody nose repaints had a red sill, but retained the orange stripes on the fuel tank ( I suspect because of lazy painters).



Yes, I'll try to do this one.

Wait, wait, don't tell me... no, yes do tell me...
Is that an M-10000 I see lurking in the background???

Sadly no. Originally named O'Neill's Streamline Diner, it opened late 1930s/early 1940s, but closed in 1943, and then as the Liberty Bell Diner from 1948 until it shut its doors for good in 1982. Built on an ex-ATSF coach with a fake nose, it originally stood along highway 395 (now the 215) in Perris, CA, but now resides at nearby Orange Empire Railway Museum.

It doesn't get much uglier than this.

Hmmf, I think most of the modern passenger locomotives are uglier than that.

What he said....

Hello Everyone!
Well, I've been waiting so long to say this, that it almost feels weird, but ...the ALCo S2, and her sister are ~DONE~!!



The package will include a Rollout Livery, a new and weathered Southern Pacific Livery, an RWA livery, possibly a livery or two from other artists (workload permitting for them), and a generic model for you to paint to your heart's content. I've included a painter's template and a reference chart that I tried to make as intuitive as possible.



I have SO many people to thank on this forum, and elsewhere for their generous help, guidance, advice, support, and suggestions along the way, that it would take me some time to type here, so instead, make sure to read the included readme file for the proper acknowledgements when you get it. They deserve just as much credit! Without all of them, I would not have made it this far.

I can only hope to see some cool liveries that you can come up with, as there were over 1,500 ALCo S2s made in their day, so the well runs deep with this one.

Keep an eye on the downloads library here. It's coming soon!

Best to you all!
Rich

How do we purchase?

[dogmouse]

It's freeware, Harry
It will only cost you the time you spend on the tracks with it.
