Those look like a simple place to start learning how to paint. Get the template after it's updated and give it a try.

Ok, Hawk has the updated template file in the downloads now. If you've already started a project on this, delete the old 'Doors and Labels' layer, then just copy the new 'Labels' and 'Rivets' layers over. The template is very close to the same, just minor refinements.

Just a quick Question: Would there be a demand for one or two more of these UPY road switchers? It is really simple to change the numbers, and maybe dirty them up a little. The photo of 688 I had was taken about two days after delivery, so that's the look I was going for.

Ok, how about a Green and Yellow CnW as well? I think they had the number on the long hood, So it could have autonumbering.

After some new input, I fixed up some update files for the UPY and MoPac Yellow engines - more numbers and a little better looking logo patch.

One expert mode, one Simple mode, and two trail locomotives

1580 and 1590 are uncrewed trail locomotives.

After a bit of QA, I'll upload them as updates rather than a totally new setup. Updated: went ahead and redid both packages all together.

Just turned the CNW GP15s over to Hawk, along with a little surprise.
