I've uploaded them, but it would appear that Hawk is having issues with the system. I'll e-mail Hawk and check to see if he actually got them.

Update 3/10/2010 12:02P PST: Apparently the files didn't upload, so Hawk asked that I resubmit them. Done. Now we'll see if he's resolved the issue.

It would appear that there's still a problem, but I don't know what it is.
The upload page works for me but not for Mike.

I gave him an alternative way to upload. We'll see if that works.

[Hawk]

Alternative upload worked. Mike has new files in the Library now.

Learning to work with the GP-9 from Mr. Cowen...



Very much a WIP, lots left to sort out.

is there also going to be a lownose version? (all i have for now is the freeware loco)

If I do one, it will be the yellowbonnet... they didn't do a yellowline in the low hood.

Also, please don't expect any cow/calf sets, the Cow(TR5) geo is broken, and there's no good fix. I took down the Milwaukee TR5 set at Mr. Cowen's request. I'll redo it and put up the MILW Hiwatha SW9 again.

Mike,
I sure hope you don't burn out doing so much. Your work is a great service to RW and all of us.
Thanks,

Buzz

What? And spoil all my fun? Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

Now I got a bloody nose!



Set of 2, one crewed the other not. Auto-numbering is on. Uploading soon.

Sweet!

I didn't think SP had RS3's but it won't stop me from using one.

Actually, the Cotton Belt had them, but they were painted as SP locos.

Protip: http://www.testors.com/category/133505/Railroad_Enamels is a great source for paint chips.

Hey Mike, when are you going to do the Geep for the Hood rail road?

You have taught me something new. Thanks!

There were a few Cotton Belts (Rio Grande) that rolled through my parts, probably loaners, but they were GP40s and up.

It would seem that I would be ahead banging my head against the wall vs. reskinning the Britkits GP9... As you can see, it can be done, but the lack of a legend or usable templates make it an exercise in frustration.



Does anyone have a swatch map or template overlay for these?

[TDHenderson]

I'm pretty sure there was a good template in .psp format that came with it and I converted it over to .psd. Let me look when I get home tonight Mike.
