Once again, this is a very early WIP shot. Would anyone happen to have the accurate hues for the shade of green EJ&E used?

!*drool*! !*drool*! !*drool*! !*drool*! Wow your doing the last EJE Geep, I may be able to find a pic of the green on 703

From doing a lot of repaints trying to get a color from a picture is very subjective and mostly guessing until you get one that looks right in our sim.

I think it looks better off a picture then just playing with that color thing

I don't want to start a big debate however if you take the typical picture and start getting color samples from it you will get about a dozen or more different colors from different parts of the picture on the same color. Which do you suggest is the right one?

Nothing to report progress wise, but I'll fill everyone in with some odds and ends.

First, thank you Buzz for pointing me in the direction of DigiRails. Of all the times I've been on there, I haven't even seen a single piece of EJ&E equipment! The colors on those engines look perfect and will be very helpful. Much obliged! !*salute*!

Next, I'm still taking requests, but from now on please send them via PM. I've already "commissioned" one request and am in the process of gathering up resources... aka pictures. If you really want to tap into my sweet spot, request something from the northeast, the south (everything from below Kentucky to Texas, in my opinion), or even the northwest. Those are my Achilles heels, take advantage of them. *!twisted!*

And finally, if you check page one, you'll find a list of liveries that I've been updating almost everyday. I'm crazy about GP38-2s, I know. Said list contains WIP liveries, or TBD liveries. It's filled with liveries, as you can tell. And just as a side note, I had the list dated as "Updated 8/xx/16". I'm still stuck in August!

Have a great weekend everyone!

The red on the frame and detail parts doesn't match the red on the main body... huh. I'll have to fix that. Anyways, nice picture Overshoe! *!greengrin!*

Check your PM Erik.

Tiny update.

I redid the green on the EJ&E engine. Now it should be close to the accurate shade the J used.

And I have added another livery to the CP set. This one is an ex-D&H GP38-2 in the "Dual Flags" scheme.
