SD45 Repaints

[Mikeov1985]

Are there any SD45 repaints for Wisconsin Central, Burlington Northern, or Chicago & Northwestern? WC had 200 of these, BN had 200 (many of which got handed down to WC), and CNW had 127. I attached an example of each, but others shouldn't be hard to find.

Thank you much for your help!

You mentioned "BN", so if you're interested in it's predecessors, I contributed a few NP repaints to the library. There are versions for both the UP and SP models:

Not sure why I never got around to doing the BN; hmmmmm.... Oh, there is also a nice GN repaint of "Hustle Muscle" in MarleyMan's Baker's Dozen Pack:

Edit: I forgot to mention that the are some shared texture mapping issues with the cab door hinges and handles; after looking at the two-tone cab colors in the photos you posted, that might be a contributor to why there are no repaints for those roads yet (that I know of). It just depends on how much we're willing to overlook. But with all the rivet-counting going on, I'm not surprised that the few re-painters we have left, have elected not to set themselves up as targets. Regardless, I hope something turns up for you.

I have got a DTM\SD45-BN\ as extra package.
As I do not find it on steam, perhaps this is not yet available again for ROW users.
I may have bought it on an external site, but unfortunately I do not remember where (could be the gone Train and Drivers site).

To the best of my knowledge that pack was never officially released

Maybe it's time it was.

Thank you for mentioning these! I am going to grab these and give them a test run later this week. I remember seeing them in the library before I owned the SP SD45 add-on, but I don't think I have them installed yet.

Although I am excited to give these repaints a go, I would prefer a WC and/or BN reskin also. I want the BN because there were so many patched ex-BN SD45s on the WC during the 80s and 90s.

I found 7 WC repaints (including two patched ex-BNs) and 2 CNW repaints on the DigiRails forum. They are all based on the UP SD45 addon.

I appreciate everyone's time to respond. Thank you!

I hope to see that BN model released someday too.
