To be honest, the screenshots make the engine look better than it does in TS. Anyways, I appreciate it.
Edit - I just reread your comment now and realized that I basically said I appreciate that you're dying inside

Thank you!
Right now the plan is to make a clean livery and a dusty livery, then I'll tackle the YN3 livery, and after that is a project only one member knows about.

Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2016 1:47 pmMuch appreciated guys 
. Like I mentioned, a lot of credit goes to Ryan93 and DrewG.
Anyway, here's a C40-8 fresh out of Erie, PA.
Currently CSX is rounding up their entire C40-8 fleet for retirement (I'm sure a lot of crews are happy about that). I find it interesting how 20-year old Dash 8s are already being retired and cut up for scrap - then again these were built when GE still believed in quantity over quality.

Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2016 1:53 pmYou got my numbers, just put them on.
Anyway, are you going to possible upgrade the yellow on the YN3 and YN3B C40-8's?

Sure! I'll match the yellow on the YN3B unit to the yellow found on these engines and in the Miami Dash 8 texture/light improvement.
And I haven't forgot your numbers

Re: Used and Abused... and Burnt
Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2016 6:44 pmThere's rumour that they're going back to GETS for rebuild into AC44C6Ms but that's just rumour.

That's pretty neat. Doesn't GE offer a GEVO retrofitting/rebuild thing for older engines like Dash 8s? If so, I suppose that's one other way to breathe some more life into them.

Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2016 7:23 pmNot GEVO parts, but they'd have nothing left of the Dash 8 but the cooling system and prime mover I assume.
