Hello,
I have been working on two repaints of the Milwaukee 4-6-4 F7 Baltic which comes in the MSTS Conversions pack, available from "ironcat60", here:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/u0blm28q9 ... s.rwp/fileOne repaint is done to match the G-TraX, "Milwaukee Road G-Trax Cars", by Buzz456. And the other is done to match the darker G-TraX, "Milwaukee Road (MILW) Hiawatha E7 & Passenger Car Re-Paints", by MadMike1024.
Let me know what ya'll think.

Thanks guys!
The silver boiler jacketing is actually supposed to be gray, but the tender striping was a bit of a pain to get lined up, what with it using a separate file for the front and back of the tender vers. the sides. Plus, it's hard to find a good photo that shows the actual shade of gray to use. So I left that alone for now.
I also was going to include the changes I made to my locomotive where I have it using the simulation and whistle files from the DSGDDR, freeware NYC J-3a Hudsons. But those files were to big and complicated, the way I had it done. So I've simply sent in the repaints with some slightly altered .bin and shape files. I had to alter the tender's shape file in order to get it to use a new texture to darken the wheels, that's all. And I altered the tender's .bin files so that the tender does use the correct tender number in-game, as well as correcting the fuel and weight.

I do know the "Skytop Lounge* exists, but the Hudson's & them never met. I was thinking that "Beaver Tails" would be nice to have, so that he Hudson's & the "Beaver Tail" could make a guest appearance, on the "Lakeside Route" on the "North Woods" or the "Chippewa" Hiawatha..

Scuse me for suggesting such a thing. To the best of my knowledge the Beaver tail has never been modeled.

Sorry....

I did not intend to offend, It was just wishful thinking on my part. Besides, the "Beaver Tails" only made that far North during "No Long John Season", You know from July 4th to Labor Day....

I will slink into my "Newbie Hole" now....
