G-trax locos Repaints

Unread postby SuperChief » Sun Feb 10, 2013 7:08 pm

Anyone Know where to find Repaints for the Berkshires and the SPNS 700 id love to get some Really good Repaints for them Such as the Grand Canyon Railway I'm Going to attempt to make that route, I would also like to know if anyone has problems with the CNW Repaint for the Lightweight passenger coaches I can't get the model to show up and I've followed the Readme exactly. I also have the same problem with the Rock island repaint coaches, this is starting to frustrate me and I would also like to see a repaint for the Berkshires and the other steam locos except for the SP gs4 which I love.

I want to repaint the Berkshires too. I want to make Pere Marquette 1225 and the other PM N-1 Berkshires.

I did find one repaint for the tenders on trainsim.com . It puts the Polar Express paint scheme on it.

I found that one as well but I don't really care to have the Polar express. id rather have paints like Up and such even if they are fictional repaints.

They're not impossible to paint but it does take experience and some common skinning knowledge.

Have you ever thought about putting the repaint up so others can download it Because I know there are people that would love that Repaint. Now back to the Original question.

I would also like to know if anyone has problems with the CNW Repaint for the Lightweight passenger coaches I can't get the model to show up and I've followed the Readme exactly. I also have the same problem with the Rock island repaint coaches, this is starting to frustrate me

If they are not showing up the most common thing is to either have the GeoPcDx put in the wrong place OR you used the wrong ones. These are cars you D/L from the RWA site?

I've downloaded almost all the G-trax repaints and the only ones that act like that are the CNW and the rock island and I've followed the readme exactly and I can't get either of them to show up. Yes they're the light weight passenger coaches from G-trax

I hope Mad Mike shows up here to jump in. I assume these are his repaints. They are from RW2 and I am not sure they are compaditible with the RW3 Geo's. If Papa sees this he might know also. If no one answers by tonight I'll test them when I get home from work and let you know or you can PM Mad Mike and ask him.

Neither MadMike or I repainted the Locomotives. We only did the passenger cars.

@Dan. This got lost in the conversation about the locos but he also asked why he couldn't get the CNW and RI lwt cars to show up. What I was asking about was wether the Geo's for the RW3 would work on the above cars since they were done for RW2?
