CSX/NS SD45-2 Repaint for DTM SD45-2

[xxuntitledxx]

So I'm throwing this suggestion out to the re-painters.

How about making some CSX or NS SD45-2's. Maybe even do a re-paint of NS 1700 as a proper EL SD45-2?






I attempted to try it tonight, but it's hard to replace the Santa Fe Scheme on the locomotive. If anyone has any pointers let me know and I could take another stab at it?

He wants the -2 variant of the SD45. Im assuming he would also want one with ditchlights added to it, since we dont have one with them.

viewtopic.php?f=39&t=18064 thats the one i wished to have done but we don't have an NS 45 yet so that would be nice

There are some significant differences between the ATSF SD45-2's and the SD45-2's that were built for the EL and went on to CSXT/NS ownership. Horn location, 5000 gallon fuel tank (big spotting difference), and ditch lights for the modern era. There are a few others as well. It would probably be better to wait for DTM to make their own, I wouldn't be surprised if they did since they made an EL GP35.

Ditch lights aren't necessary but if they are an option I wouldn't object haha. I mean even as a placeholder it wouldn't be a bad idea. Not saying it has to perfect but in the ballpark is a-okay with me.

There is a few odds and ends to clean up and this will be done.

Thanks for including the YN2 repaint buzz.! My favorite CSX paint scheme. Nice work

Very Nice Buzz! If I may make one small comment though, the CSX logos on the long hood appear to be a bit too large. Otherwise, looks great!

Hey, I just noticed those Southern Belle FP7s back there..! Anyhow, your CSX reskins look great. Thank you very much!
