BNSF Dash 9 Texture Enhancement

[OpenRailer90]

All the textures will be drop in replacements, correct?

The actual weathering itself doesn't look dirty per say. Looks more like it hit a paint truck.

Thanks for the feedback! I was actually aiming for an engine running through windy deserts for a very long time, eventually creating the one shown here.

Now that I actually look at it, I think I may have over killed the weathering, except for the ash on the hood.

Create a layer for each of the weathering you want to do. One for dirt, one for rust, one for dust, on and on. Then you can use the slider to fade the layers till you get the desired effect.

I didn't know that.

Yes, the textures will replace the originals, so make a backup if anything goes wrong.

How's this:

a bit too light

It can't be to heavy either.

Your second weathering attempt is much better . Be sure to get the head end a bit dirty.

Ok! I'll see what I can do tonight.

So I just finished weathering the nose, but there is also an obvious teaser.

Outstanding! Right colors, considering you are using Alpenfreight mod.

Before Alpenfreight's weather mod was released, I was looking at the Stevens/Marias Pass ES44DC, an the colors were correct. But it was only recently that I finally put this project underway, because Buzz is the most helpful person on the forum. So I could finally recolor the engine.

Go ahead. Make my day!

Something dumb. All dash 9's look to the default's trucks, which are weathered. Oh well, we'll have to deal with it.

Won't be doing the NS one. The NS one looks fine IMO, and the BNSF ones needed the most love anyway.
So I declare the Dash 9 texture and lighting enhancement complete!
