I feel that the SD40-2 Union Pacific Early (80s), is too bright and clean. These might be fine for those that want to run scenarios for the 80's when these engines were new. I am working on making faded and weathered versions of this engine. Do you guys want the faded textures as replacements for the current model, or as a separate engine? I will be creating the weathered version as a separate engine so that faded and weathered engines can be paired on a train. Here is a screenshot of the 80's snoot with weathering.

After years and years of watching UP west of Chicago I can testify that you can see just about every shade and age of paint on any given train any day. I definitely would like to see the weathered ones as separate items. I could tell a lot more if I like this if I could see the sunny side but there's no reason why you should care what I think.

Separate model for certain

I am going to do the weathered ones as a separate engine in game. My question was if you guys want a faded UP texture for those engines that is a drop-in replacement texture. I think that the clean and bright paintjobs are to intense. I am only reducing the colors by 30% on that one, no rust or dirt added.

I'd still suggest doing the faded unit as a separate engine still. That would allow users to portray a wide range of era's of UP power easily without having to 'reinstall' a different version.

I like the idea of a clean faded version of this, as it would fit in well for early 80's consists where both schemes coexisted.

Here are some new screenshots showing the weathered and faded versions of this engine.
