In old instrument panels, needles and faces behind glass are usually quite clean except from some leakage at the edges if there is no rubber seal behind the glass.
The glass covers get very grimy, and are wiped up with an impatient work glove when the grime impairs readability, so the grime accumulates around raised edges, and the glass gets scratched over time.
Old bulbs in instrument panels get grimy too, resulting in yellowish light.

Ah, good point Chacal thanks for the heads up! Also might I say I liked the visuals you create in your writing; " wiped up with an impatient work glove". Now I feel bad for every time I did exactly that and helped to ruin a perfectly functional dial/gauge. *!rolleyes!* Also thanks for the compliments WCL6655!
Have a good day everyone!

Its 2AM, we've been on duty for 3 Hours, been stuck at this light for 2 of them, and still have 9 hours to go. Its freezing, the heater broke, and my conductor won't shut up about his ex-wife...its going to be a looong night. **!!bang!!**
Have a good one eveybody! :D

P.S. To be honest, now that I redid the gauge lights they look absolutely horrible when on during the day, can't win'em all.

I second that. Absolutely stunning and a perfect fit for a (midwestern or just about any) shortline in poor repair.

Hello Folks!

Thanks again for the VERY nice compliments. I must apologize for my absence, UPRR furloughed me a few months back so I've been on the job hunt. **!!bang!!**
Anyway, finally got the CNW S2 repaints done. I plan to release the dirty cab as a standalone file, so if you want to drop it into an existing S2 repaint you can, with minimal effort.
I recently added dirty windows, new dim headlight textures, and an external dirty cab (not pictured). Just need to read up on the uploading process and figure that out...
Hope everyone had a nice Memorial day!

Beautiful work sir! This is the best texturing I have seen and that is how an old cab should look. !*brav*!

I love the oil on the windows! Something every EMD should have on the back windows and SW on the front windows.

Funny story about that. When I was in the Army I used to find myself in helicopters regularly and often. The crew chiefs would always say; "if the bird stops leaking oil something is wrong". *!greengrin!*
So I guess oil and crud on the windows is a good thing? !*don-know!*
Have a good day!

-Jerry

P.S. Slick thanks for making those AWESOME CNW U30 repaints. I get a lot of mileage out of those! **!!bow!!**
