Hey, can't complain too much, it's Chessie after all.

I do wish however that they would include something a bit more on the interesting side when it comes to mainline power, like rather than a GP35, perhaps a GP40 or GP40-2 (Chessie had an infamous amount of these) or even perhaps an SD50.

But nonetheless I am content with the fact CSX was nice enough to extend us a license for these (now then, off to go build the New River Subdivision! *!!wink!!* )

Is there a difference between this GP35 and the one released by Travel by Train?

If you mean the one that was released in Circus Paint for the WM pack, then yes.

No I meant the B&O/Chessie pack TbT released a couple years ago. I'm with you: I'm not complaining and I'm glad to have this pack, but a GP40 or SD40 would have in Chessie colors would have been a nice addition.

If you want to be reading Reading on the green 40 foot boxcar you can use Buzz's texture file from here...

viewtopic.php?f=35&t=22671&start=30#p260681

Rename the texture file in the zip to -

40ft-ps1_RDG2-main1

Then place the texture file in the following file structure -

Railworks/Assets/HIS/ChessieRetroPack01/RailVehicles/Freight/Boxcar40ft/Default/Textures

You will go from seeing all green to Reading white and green...
