what about a A.T.S.F. zebra?

I was considering that too, an RS3 and a SW1200 in zebra paint. I hated painting locos in HO scale, and in fact created a local line paint scheme that was all black with White letters, just to save the incorrectly painted shells.

Boy, do I love this way... Download pictures, download logos, compare and do it.

Finished within the limitations of the model. I can't seem to fix the number boards.



Oops! Erase the image in the background from your memory, it's top secret...

WIll package this up and send it to Hawk tomorrow.

Good work, madmike. How about a set of MP locos and a caboose. The MP used SD40-2's, GP-38's, FA-1's, GP-7's, GP-9's, FT's, F3's, and F7's. I can email you a set of pictures of the simplified paint scheme with roster numbers and herald graphics. It would be really nice to be able to operate the Colton & Northern as practically any midwestern railroad.

I'll second that request! I am working on a MP route now so they will have a home.

Send them along, and I'll see what I can do. I sent you a PM.

would be nice to see a heratage ATSF set with an alco RS-3, GP7, GP9, SW1200 and whatever else they had in zebra that we have.

[MadMike1024]

The RS3 Yellowcap... I plan a SW9 in the same scheme... Then the Zebras. BTW, there is a Zebra GP9 in the file directory here.

BTW, there is a Zebra GP9 in the file directory here.

well it dosen't work, i have tryed everything but it just won't come up. also it is a GP7 that you were thinking of. but did santa fe ever have any low nose gp9's? even in the yellow stripe (or yellowcap as you call it)

I don't know, I haven't done any searching yet. Also, did you download and install the SAL GP7 that the repaints require? I've had no issues with them.

The MoPac RS3, the AT&SF RS3, and the D&RGW Switcher fix are all uploaded.

[thecanadianrail]

yeah, i got the SAL for the repaints but it just dosen't show up. does the zebra require the original SAL or the updated Version? i heard somewhere that there are 2 versions, the second one was fixed.

[MadMike1024]

I now have the ATSF SW9 completed and ready to upload...



It autonumbers in a restricted range, only 8 numbers. 2410 to 2417 to conform to actual numbers used.

Yes Santa Fe did have low nose GP9s in Yellowbonnet paint.



Though most (if not all) were rebuilt GP9s designated as GP9u. Part of the rebuilding process was chopping the high noses.

If you are going to repaint the GP9, I would love to see some SP liveries.
