XDriver's speedy repaint!

Nice to see they updated the BN variant, hope they fix the BNSF variant as well. I noticed many errors
Looks like they just took off the beacon and used the BN model

GREAT re paint by the way

Not quite Mike, there are a lot different variations of the BNSF GP38-2's, I only agree with your statement for the window wipers, and the paint on the step

[buzz456]

Not to start a argument since I'm just a lovable little fuzz ball, but if you thumb thru the twenty some pages of BNSF GP38-2s you can find one of almost anything in paints and configuration. I found one near identical to the one RSC did, not perfect but close. I'm sure everyone knows I'm not much of a rivet counter but I do have some eye for detail. It's just that as you become older you understand that hardly anything is perfect and moreover darn little is worth getting your undies in a bunch about it.

WRONG. Not a true GP38-2 from EMD. This is a rebuild of a GP40, notice the HUGE space between the radiator fans.

Same as above.

Same as above.

Same As above

If you wanna do it right, look at this site here: http://www.trainpix.com/BNSF/EMDORIG/GP38-2/INDEX.HTM
While it may not have all of the newbies. It's actually correct in which locomotives are ACTUALLY GP38-2s.

These: http://www.trainpix.com/BNSF/EMDRBLD/GP38-2/INDEX.HTM
are all rebuilds.

Here's a non-rebuild (ex TPW/ATSF) with Nose lights and H3 paint.

And here's that H3 ex-BN exx-SLSF GP38-2 with nose lights and H3. The only thing wrong with the RSC model is the fact its missing the AC and the liberated exhaust (4 stacks).

[BNSFdude]

Exactly my point! Most are in H1, but there are the few in H3 and quite a few more in BN paint still. Plus all of those variations of details. Most have nose mounted lights now. Even BNSF 2086 has them.

[BNSFdude]

Aside from it being in H3, yeah. Change the black to green and get rid of the Swoosh logo, you got yourself 89% of the GP38-2 roster.

They didn't even match the SD unit!!! no yellow ditchlights and no yellow stripe! Maybe if they'd listen to us for once, they wouldn't get it wrong so many times!
