I have seen the SOO repaints around here too... but I think the person was saying they were having problems with the repaint.

Update: Found the thread!

Heh, and it was buzz that made the repaint....

I just uploaded the AZER E7 and the Conrail Heritage boxcar set. I'm waiting on a secret project to upload a couple of others.

And I gave up on it in frustration after about fifty hours because I didn't have the right tools or training to get the job done. **!!bang!!**

Buzz, try downloading Gimp, and the freeware F3 repaint kit from Britkits. You'll need ToACe from RW as well. The F3 kit is layered, easy to paint, and has a good legend. Dick's instructions are simple and easily understood.

Once you have a good looking and working repaint on the F3A, it will work on the Britkits F7 and F9 without revision. I gave up on the default F7 as a bad job for repainting myself.

since we are on the general topic of SP repaints, mike could you do a SP repaint of the D&RGW SD40T-2?
