I think we still need someone to give us a repaint for it.

I did a pair of GP38-2 EMDX leasers in the same blue/white livery. Which reminds me that I need to bring them forward. It wouldn't be too hard to brand a couple as Big Nothing and So Faint.

Current Trains magazine...

One example broken down showed about $15,000.00 for a repaint with a few stripes. Not cheap!

Papa Smurf lives!

A work in progress, Logo is too small, lettering is wonky, paint needs to be faded, some details need to be added, etc.

I am well on the way to updating the EMDX leasers as well.

Ok, here we are... the BNSF and the EMDX versions. Both now autonumber.

There are slight detail differences among the 2040 to 2051 numbers on the BNSF. PapaXpress has some parts, and we may go ahead and make up a set of three or four, each slightly different.

I *think* MadMike is waiting on me to super detail them... that will need to wait for a just a wee bit though and I am busy with my new hobby of sewing quilts.

The locos are done, and in the Beta test folder. I did the 2050 to 2055 Smurfs for the first release, as they are all quite plain. Papa and I plan to do some of the customized lower numbers as time permits.

Well, it was a good thing we sat on them. We figured a few things out that made life simpler for that beacon.
