Donner Pass Locomotive and Cabeese Texture Replacements

[imnew]

Nice texture work. Standalone working alongside the originals make for more of an interesting mix

[gtrtroger]

Those look great.....!

These repaints of yours look sharp and crisp.

Were the Tunnel Motors not equipped with the typical SP cluster of headlights? Or did RSC back then choose not to model this characteristic SP detail?

It was the crossover time between Gyra lites, Beacons on the roof, which are in the wrong place, and ditch lights.
I forget off hand, but the bell or beacons are supposed to be offset.
I always wished someone with the knowledge would make a working Gyra-lite kit for the GP9.

Great Job. I've been wanting to run more SP stuff, can't wait. BTW that SP Police caboose is here in Bakersfield and is still used.

Thanks everyone I will be away until late Tomorrow night or Sunday so I will start on the SW1500 and Cotton Belt variants of the SD40T-2, GP9, and SW1500. Once all the locomotives and cabeese are finished sometime next week I may have a go at weathering...no promises though since it'll be my first real attempt

[BoostedFridge]

Cotton Belt?! You just made my day!

[TheRailfan98]

SW1500's are done. I decided last minute to do a speed lettered variant that 15 SW1500's wore at one point.

Now onto Cotton Belt variants

And here's a shot of all 6 SP locos:

These look great!!

[JohnTrainHead]

Very nice

[OpenRailer90]

Looks good, have you used this for reference?

[ZekTheKid]

He didn't need reference, he simply brightened up the texture. The default is a lettered one anyway.

[Ericmopar]

He didn't just "brighten up the texture".

[ZekTheKid]

Then that would be my fault.

[NStrains]

These are some really nice remakes!

[TheRailfan98]

I brightened up the textures, tweaked a few details, and relettered everything so you're not completely wrong. I've been using real photos for reference.
Here's your Cotton Belt engines Eric and Boosted, fully equipped with accurate number ranges. Unfortunately there's slight details I can't add such as the number on the nose of the SD40T-2 and the number on the front pilot of the SW1500 without doing an individual repaint of each number.
