I made an 801, no B unit, in the regular RWA paint scheme. And then I created this, what do you all think? I call it the executive paint scheme. Not sure why, I guess because it looks so sleek.

Just a short note about using the auto-numbering provided by DTG. I have seen several mentions of it not supporting a four digit number. Well if you stay in the same number of thousands which will work for most railroads you can manually put in the first number on the texture and then still use the auto-numbers. I may not have this in the exact perfect spot yet however I think it looks pretty darn good and make so you don't have to load some huge file with a zillion locos.

The Phase II doesn't have any numbers on the back so I didn't have to do anything.

I have a few ideas for repaints but I will post them one at a time and see if they get picked up.
I'd like to see a Wabash repaint of the E8. I actually started working on some repaints of the Zephyr coaches for the Blue Bird train but I think I did the wrong version of the zephyr, so I'll have to figure that out, as well as the decals.
But as it is, we still have UP and Wabash repaints of the G-trax cars, so people could recreate consists from other Wabash/UP trains like the City of Kansas City or the City of St. Louis with a Wabash E8 reskin.
Here's some pictures I found, a couple are of scale models which I think did some justice in their interpretations of the paintjob

What was supposed to go onto the lower blue panel between the side doors? The train name?
