Glad you like the FEF-3

The texturing of this model is very complicated, so I wouldn't recommend doing anything other than modifying the "UNION PACIFIC" and "U.P." on the tender (the lettering is in the alpha channel of UP484UnionPacific.TgPxDx). However, you'd still have "Union Pacific" on the shield on the front of the smokebox and that's not something you can change, because it's rendered in 3D (you have to go up close to it to appreciate that detail).

Cheers,

Mike

I must be very brave then doing this after I bought it LOL

Looking good so far

One way to take the rough edges off the letters is to use the "smudge" tool in Photoshop to soften the edges in the alpha, although you might need to enlarge each letter before doing that (to compensate for the smudging).

Very nice so far
