Yes, you need the Cabview geopcdx copy and pasting across as well as the engine, don't forget.

I did do that from both the engine and cabview folders. I'll have another go at it and make sure. If that doesn't work, I'll try reinstalling the .rwp.

Hi guys,

thank you very much for your support. It helps me to go further and working on more reskins *!!thnx!!*
So I continue with UP SD40-2. Here is a sneak preview of my next pack. I have improved my textures a bit as you will see. Ten units are planed. Each with their own details that will make them unique and add some variety in your consist.
Once this UP pack will be done, I will open my own Paintshop topic.

To emdsd90Mac, sorry to hear you have some troubles to install my packs. Please let us know if you can fix that.

Very nice work! Thank you for putting your time into this series. The 'default' Kuju UP skins were nice and all, but made the units look too worn out to appear realistic for the time period that these were the primary power for UP. I'm really looking forward to putting these to work in some 1980's and 1990's period scenarios!

Once this pack done, I will try to do something with the new SD40-2 available in the New York-New Haven Route. And maybe with the UP Independence too. A nice snoot is always good to add to any UP roster :D

Yes, please do the snoot! We need more UP units. They had over 1000 SD40-2's, there must be some variation in their paint scheme.

Well I do like the scheme, it would be more realistic to repaint it on the BN SD40-2 since it has only the main headlight and not the ditchlights.
