I downloaded it, let me see what a mess it's in. (author noted that it's scattered.)

Couple hours later: Wow, I see what he means. 5 or 6 files to make the body, and just plain a jumble. Not right now.

Gimp appears to be written in Sanskrit for me. Instructions appear to be written by Microsoft, in other words completely indecipherable to normal people. !*not-ok*!

That's too bad...what graphic editor are you familiar with? If it will open .psd or .psp files and save Targa format (.tga) or .ace files, it will work.

I'm not familiar with any graphic editor. Want to race me around a access file or Excel I'll do it but this stuff is a foreign language. Maybe sometime.

I have a couple of other projects to do, then I'll tackle that SOO F7 for you. It would help if you'd do a little research, and find me some pictures and logo cuts, etc.

Meanwhile, I'm on the downhill run with the Golden State...

I've got all 7 of each type skinned, now to get the correct numbers and so on.

This blows up into a pretty darn nice picture to copy. Whenever you get a break. The actual pictures are BIG. If you need anything else let me know.
Thanks,

The cotton belt "SSW" had a Daylight painted GP7. It was the only GP7 on the entire southern pacific system, They also had the only Daylight painted FP7.

Photos of the Geep can be found here

It is worth the money, The book covers the entire history of the cotton belt from it's beginning's through the most of the diesel era. Plenty of photos & interesting information.
