VRC RWA GP40-2

[PapaXpress]

... I am disappointed that this will not include a GP40 or a GP40-2 with a more traditional cab interior. I've been wanting to do a number of repaint with VRC's GP40 and GP40-2 for a while, but for them to be accurate I have to have GP40s and GP40-2s without modernized cabs and without air conditioning. I understand that I will be able to add/remove child objects with the GeoPcDx files, but that doesn't solve the cab issue or the issue with this being a newer version of several of the locomotives that need to be painted if I am to make this pack.

Why not support VRC by buying the packages you want to repaint? I will not say that Jerry is ready to wheel and deal but the idea of having a "complete GP40 package" was mentioned around the water cooler. Would that be of interest to you?

Keep in mind that this package was donated to RWA. It is one of our more popular models as it includes the slug, and its the GP30 to boot.

So send him an email?

[PapaXpress]

Why not? The worst he can say is "nope".

I think Jerry is taking some time off so give it another week.

I would like to give my thanks to all involved for allowing this great model to become freeware for the RWA community.

That's even better than I thought. Thanks again!

YES!! Modeled MU connection cables!! A detail that is heavily overlooked.

I've got to say it Buzz, that GP30 Road Slug looks great!

I picked up the GP40 pack a few months ago and I was planning on getting the repainter's pack to customize the units a bit for what I needed, but the site was moved and the GP40 taken down the day before I went to purchase it. Yes, having a complete GP40 package would very much be of interest to me. Any thoughts on this?

[CSX2057]

It will include the model.

Hey Buzz? I don't suppose that will include the Chessie System?

[ZekTheKid]

It will include the model.

Idk, VRC requested not to attempt to remake the ones that were sold on their online store.

[buzz456]

Correct.

You missed the next two posts which spoke about emailing Jerry a week or more from now.
