Wow! That's actually really interesting! Thanks for posting that.

Well....

I wasnt happy with the dirty unit, so it just got a makeover.













"Wash Me!"



Fueler made a mess on the side of the tank...

Now I just have to remember how to clone locomotive bin files, so I can have the clean unit and the dirty both in the package as separate units. I dont want to use the RW_Tools "clone" option, because that would mean unpacking my whole Soldier Summit Route...and I dont like doing that.

Can anyone walk me through how to manually clone the loco? I dont need to copy all files anyway - the only files it uses that are different from the default unit are 3 texture files.

With Buzz's help, I've been able to get this unit cloned without RW_Tools, so, the clean and dirty unit are both in-game now! Thanks Buzz!!





And then this happened.



Now it's just a matter of time while I test everything to make sure it's ready for library upload!

This project is nearing completion. I just created a new wheel tread texture to replace the blotchy and uniform default one:
