KTower Repaints

It has been a while since Ive posted anything (or done anything TS related for that matter), but with a new machine and a fresh reinstall let's see what we can do.

First up, since my hiatus DTG has up and released an engine I'm quite fond of. So I figured some GP40 HEP action is in order. Anyone that knows me knows that I'm a huge fan of these oddities. :D So I've started an extensive repaint project centered around the new DTG GP40PH-2B add on. I Will try to do as many roads as I can.

MARC coaches and cab for the MARC GP40. The paint is done, but I noticed some issues with the cabcar simulation file. keyboard controls aren't working and hud controls are delayed.

Being the commuter fan I am, these repaints are all excellent! I believe the problems with the MARC equipment may be related to the simulation file it points to. Do the Geeps use FanRailer's physics and the ability to quill the horn for compatibility with TheAudioShack's sound pack?

Oh yeah! Just have to fix a few bugs with the coaches. I have plans to release a the following.

VRE GP40H-2.
Amtrak MOW variant of the phase 5 road scheme.
New Haven GP40H-2.
Metro North GP40 painted in the BL20 scheme (hopefully along with MTA stealth coaches and cabs.
Last but not least a fictional MARC FL9 to go along with the rest of the MARC equipment.

MARC!?!?! YES!!!!! !*YAAA*! Bout' time they were made in railworks!
I repainted an experimental MARC GP40 and cabcar,but it didn't turn out well.The repaints look great!!! **!!bow!!**
Is the cabcar from the GP40PH-2B too?

P.S. Plan to repaint the LA commuter rail coaches into:

^ Honestly with that in mind it would be a great idea to also have an NJT Multilevel repaint based on the Coaster bilevel coaches to serve as a placeholder until DTG do proper Bombardier Multilevel cars.

I probably wont touch those since there's no child object decal for them yet. I'm still holding out for the NJT multilevels.
