For about three years since the Miami-West Palm Beach route came out, I was thinking about a Conrail C40-8W paint scheme in railworks. But sadly I don't know how to do a repaint in order to do one. These are some Conrail paint scheme i have been thinking about.

It would be cool to see! But the only thing that would not look right would be the headlights on the nose. But there may be a way to cover them up and move them to the top. Searchlight Simulations has done something like this with their F45 Enhancement Pack.

The headlight situation is the only reason why nobody has gone through with it. There's plenty of Conrail fans around this forum.

Then again, aren't there Conrail skins for the Eyein C40-8W?

The Miami Dash 8 headlights are children. I believe the nose child can be moved to the top and rotated 90 degrees, without much effort.
Here the achievement would be the repaint.

The light flares are the children, not the actual light housing. I think the best bet to get a Conrail C40-8W would be Eyein's model.

Eyein's Dash-8 pack already includes a few Conrail units.

It does but it ain’t free and sadly that’s enough to put off some folks.

Sadly, I can't get Eyein's model because my dad won't allow me to get it because he told me that he has been hacked before from his credit card

That's not really an excuse worth mentioning on a forum...a literal private matter. Try repositioning the child objects

Little that's worth anything in life is free. You will notice that most of the free stuff that's done by folks like me and others is based on things that cost something.
