WOW!!! 99 downloads in one day! I am very flattered and I hope everyone enjoys these.

It's amazing just how much of a pain getting the stripes on the nose to line up was. Especially the curved part that goes up over the headlight. The stripes on the sides are a different size in pixels than the nose, and the part that goes up over the headlight is yet another pixel size and on a different part of the texture file than the nose textures. So getting these to line up was not fun, but I'm happy with the end results as I did the best that I could.

And yes, I know that the dynamic brakes vents and handrails should be green, but I could not find any texture files that covered those parts. So either these parts are just "baked" black and you can't paint them, or I just missed something. Again, not a big deal, but just wanted people to know I am aware of it.

Thanks again.

As a side note, these were in the as delivered paint scheme when received by WP in early 1942. They were painted in various other liveries through the years and eventually were broken up and individual couplers added and kept their original road numbers with letter suffixes. The attachment shows the demonstrator units in the GM livery without dynamic brakes..
