Those are really nice. I wonder if the strobe light can be removed as a child object?

I can't help with that one, BNSF650. Maybe someone else knows.

Testing autonumbering...

Seems to work OK.

Looks good

[BoostedFridge]

These look absolutely fantastic! Great job!

I don't know if you care, but for the autonumbering there were never any GP38 variants in the 25xx range, just GP35's.

Im gona pick these up!

Any chance on repainting the BNSF or New Haven CSX SD40-2 into BN colors?

Thanks for the tip, BoostedFridge. I'll change that in the numbers.dcsv. I'm including only ten numbers or so because I don't want the same number to appear on any locomotive more than once because of the weathering on the numbers. Therefore, there won't be a "2250" or a "2333" and so on. Two or three numbers weathered exactly the same would look goofy. Of course the *.dcsv can be modified to include more numbers if desired.

Possible, I'm going back to my Adriana County engines after this. I wanna get them done. Who makes a New Haven CSX SD40?

Many Thanks,

The New Haven SD40-2 is the SD40-2 That is included with the New York New Haven route. It is CSX and has flashing Ditchlights (Which some BN Green machines had before the BNSF Merger). I think it would be fun to have a BN SD40-2 on the new model with ditchlights.

You're probably right, but I don't have the route so someone else will have to tackle that one.

Which model is this based from?

[tagsdm]

The GP38 is based on the RSC model. You'll need it to use the patched loco.

So it is not the Stevens Pass GP38?
