Dash 9 CN Repaint

[roinuj]

I have just released a package of Dash9s based on CN scheme with weathering. As with my other releases, they are a series of weathered units ranging from W1 for light to W3 for heavy. I have also included a clean version which is a colour corrected version of the default CN unit by RSC so you won't loose it when the game is updated.

Files have been upload to the file library and as soon they are added, I will update this post with a link.

Here are screen shots.

Great job!

Excellent work!

Any chance you can repaint the ES44 into CN livery?

Presuming it's available (and I haven't looked) RSC has a ES44.

I had worked on the original ES44 but stopped when RSC was going to release the updated Sherman Hill one. I had started painting the SH ES44 as a CN but gave up. Unfortunately that one (and most of the new RSC DLC) is almost impossible to repaint due to the texture files. Here is the link to my SH version I started but stopped. LINK

I have not considered restarting the original project but I do still have my PSDs and might start up up again one day.

Well the SH es44 will almost completely work in a cn paint now since cn owns ac traction units now. Just add a red marker child object above the ditch light and there you go, a 2800 series cm es44ac

Not as easy as it sounds, It's difficult to edit the SH ES44 if its possible at all. RSC has made their stuff almost impossible to edit since TS2013 came out.

But that's as far as I could get before abandoning it. The textures are a mess with every little part all over the place in no logical position. I just don't have the time to reverse engineer where every little louvre blade, nut and bolt etc is so I can get the colours right. I recall I spent a whole day trying to figure out a lovre on the cab which which was black on the red that i simply couldnt find all the right parts. Its not worth the effort to work on this unless its a simple scheme (ie. NS or Conrail). On top of that, the way the texture files are laid out, weathering this will be impossible.

If I can't make them dirty.....I'm not interested!

I could still restart the original ES44 repaint but is it even still available since TS13?

Ah nah the original model is bad

[buzz456]

What do you mean it's bad?

Unfortunately, I started playing a few months ago with TS2013. I know they had that DLC available a few years ago, but it's not up there anymore. The only CN DLC locos I was able to get are the SD70M-2, C44-9W and the SD40-2W.
