SD45 Reskin Pack

Looking for that from piece just behind the coupler and that Red stripe on the side is very elusive too.

It's the UnderFrame.TgPcDx

yes it it, I tracked it down and that is a 2mb texture so I need to 'ACE' that one.

Other option is to downsize it from 2048x2048 to 1024x1024. half size. Still works. RSBin and DXTBmp handles it OK as is on my machine.

The MPI is the livery of least interest to me since it's the only one of those liveries I've never seen in real life. In fact.... I never heard of MPI before hitting this thread.

What geographic area is MPI prevalent?

No idea, but feel free to suggest another livery

No need to suggest another one. Just cuz I have never seen or heard of MPI doesn't mean others that have heard of it should be deprived of it. The Rio Grande skin would be my #1 choice of your list. I'm still waiting for the Santa Fe one to come out. Southern Pacific was the one I wanted most and we got it.

Ok, work complete on this one, all 71 layers.

Some difficult patching on this model but looks good all the same.

Going to start the Rio Grande now but i noticed that the CSX has 2 or 3 different skins. Sliver and Blue - Blue and Yellow - All Silver... So which one should I be doing please?

(YN1) Silver and Blue. That's the only SD45 I can find with CSX on it. But they were from Seaboard System and/or Conrail, so their headlights were on the nose.

[Marleyman]

So this is not the same thing then?

And I ask because i really don't know and need the advice so that i paint the right thing.

It doesn't have wings in the back.

[Marleyman]

Cool, Silver and Blue it will be then.
Thanks.

A colour check on the logo. The two insert images are the best I can get for a reference but in game they are quite different. So on the logo which letters have the better colour representation for you? Also, is that Bodywork blue ok?

Whichever you decide just remember that colour will also be the Haz Line colour on the nose too.
