Thanks, NStrains. If you have UPY-588 you won't notice any problems. It sure fooled me. It's only if you don't have UPY-588. There is an entry in the repaint ditchlights.bin that references UPY-588. I can change it easy enough, but how do I get the fix to other users?

Best,

You should probably repackage it. Though the work around is simple enough. Just install the UPY.

Good one, PapaXpress. I'll repackage, though. And if you have RW_Tools you can change it in 20 seconds!!

Many Thanks,

You will quickly find that most users here don't know how or want to know how RW_Tools works. They just want the repaint.

Think ***SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!*** but insert repaint, mod, route, locomotive... just name it.

The locomotive in the library here is the original one from Dave Brindley, although it says new, it isn't as such, the dates are the same for all the files, 17th June 2010, irrespective of where you obtain the loco from.

I think the lights folder is the issue here, as the original MOPAC loco didn't have ditchlights and to have those on the Norfolk Southern repaints the creators had to utilise the UP Yard GP15 as the alias model as that had a ditch lights folder included with it.

Well said, PapaXpress, I'll put together a repack and send it up.

Thanks for your help,

I think I found it. I also have GP15 UPY-588 (available here) installed. That's where the ditch lights came from. If I delete it, my NS repaints with the ditch lights are gone. Restore UPY-588, and the NS repaints are back. There must be a reference in the *.bin that points to UPY-588. Here's the UPY...

Union Pacific (UP) UPY-588 GP15-1

It's available here. I'll bet if you install UPY-588, your NS repaints will show. Although no one else has found this. Does that mean all the other users have UPY-588? And I don't know how to fix it. I'll be darned if I can find anything.

Best,

Bingo! I needed that unit as well for it to work, now I see it and it works great!! !!*ok*!! *!!thnx!!*

Appreciate everyone's help regarding this issue. RESOLVED! **!!bow!!**

I added text and links in the library item's description mentioning the need to install the UP 588 repaint.

I included the appropriate ditchlight folders from UPY588 with the NS pack, I believe, so you shouldn't need it after all. You do need the original David Brindley GP15 though.
