Front and back logo I paint directly on the template, the AcademyLogo I set to full transparent and that's it

First I try to put the GORail logo in the academy logo...but it was too small. But really, this is the best template I've been worked with.

that's good, but how did you get the academy logo completely transparent and such clean ribbon lines (once again complete noob at repainting)

[Sibell]

I don't know which paint program you use, I work with gimp 2.8...I import it as a .dds file...>level > transparent >alpha threshold > cursor set to 255 > export and import in RSBinTool...that's all.

i know what it looks like because i've seen it three times, i've started one but i am going to redo it and use the academy loco like sibell's uses because it has flashing ditch lights and dim-able lights. I know it's a SD60E but we don't have one YET Digital Train Model and TheLocoShop is making one, but it's nice to have some freeware locos in case we can't fork over some money quite yet (plus it's going to be awhile before it's done)

The SD60E are going to be ready sooner than you think, its a DTG project so best not to mess with anything, should hold off on releasing these.
And there is a good chance the SD60E pack will be pulled and not released if these repaints are made public.
You need to at least wait until a few months AFTER the SD60E pack is released.

true I know, but i'm sure it will be at least next year before they are done, but I still think they will release the SD60Es because they made the NS and UP heritage units and some were already on this site so I don't think they know this site exists, but I see what you are getting at

DTG know this site exist for like 4-5 years now. Even some people working at DTG are member on this forum.
And DTG changed their policy over the years. They gave us really clear directives about this. So we take them really serious. We don't want to take the chance that a repaint on RWA can cancel a project that all the community is waiting for.

Good arguments...will hold them back then.

Thanks for understanding.
On normal time we are for custom repaint by the community but we got clear directive from DTG for this project. So we are very sorry to hold on your repaint for couples of months! :/ But it's out of our control.

So we are going to get a SD60 wide cab which will just be the SD60 we already have only with the NS/wide cab right?

It's going to be a complete new model up to RSC/DTG standard. A SD60E (With the NS Crescent cab), the model will come with all the actual liveries (Normal NS, GOrail, 911 and Vet).

I can't wait for it to come out so if we have to wait for this repaint so be it

OK however we already have a SD60 so the only difference will be that it will have the NS/wide cab since there is no difference other than internally.

Pretty much, it does have a different dynamic brake intake but that's it, but it should have four paints regular NS and the special SD60Es, its something I certainly want
