NS 3GS21B

[NStrains]

Would anyone be willing to repaint the CSX 3GS21B into the 2 NS units? 110 is active and 111 has yet to get its numbers.

Thanks for any consideration!

That shouldn't be too hard to do. I'll repaint it off of the CP genset reskin.

Where is the CP repaint from? I looked and couldn't find one.

I'm sorry to say due to permission issues, I cannot release this repaint. As much of a beauty #110 is I simply cannot release it. I was denied by LRA/STA to release my repaint since I just used their CP genset as a reskin "template".

Thanks for the effort though!

Maybe someone else can try just using the base CSX model???

But due to the way the logo is positioned and the way the hood is mapped, the NS logo cannot be put on the side without repainting the CP genset.

I question whether a texture is anyone's intellectual property. Are you releasing any Geos?

I question whether a texture is anyone's intellectual property.

Say Buzz, is it the texture or the child object decal that is the issue? The genset is another one that isn't particularly repaint friendly. Without a child object decal, you have only the CSX decal to work with for a roadname.

It's rather limiting.

No.

It might not be my place in this discussion, but we don't ask DTG for permission to release a FREE repaint. It's not like we make money off this, so why not give permission? just giving my honest opinion.

No. I asked Luk rail himself, and he said I'm not allowed to edit/release repaints that use any of their content. I understand it's all 'exclusive' and all from LRA&STA but I'm not sure what's illegal about the repaint if no geos are being released.

That looks great! A version in the red/black would also look great!

Any chance of doing the two NS units to go with the GP15s?

[tagsdm]

Thanks again, NStrains. Red/black is possible, but not the NS version. Unfortunately, the builder chose to use one texture set for both right and left sides of the hood and cabinet doors, making it impossible to letter the Horsehead logo. It'll be correct on the right side, but a mirror image on the left. This is a common technique in TS, and FS too. You need a child object letterboard decal to do the Horsehead properly, and I don't have access to one. Quite a shame, really. Hard, if not impossible to do BNSF, UP and others, at least that I can see.

Best,

That decal is by that nut job that was over here threatening everyone with all sorts of things a couple of months ago if we didn't immediately do this or that. I don't even remember what his problem was however I see nothing in the read me for the CP repaint that says one word about not being able to use any or all of this as a template for other freeware.
