Dude YOU ROCK! Looks great. Soon as I finish studying and pass this Net+ test I gotta get busy on some engines and rolling stock. I have to figure out how to photograph some of my good HO models and turn them into skins.

Got a scanner? If so put 'em on a scanner and scan front, back, sides and top and you're good to go.

RE: Not one, but TWO new skins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job, look worn. What program are you using to repaint? How do you replace your colors so that you can keep the door details? I find that hard to do. BTW, did you mean on the one engine to have the numbers not match? You've got 2318 and 2316David

RE: Not one, but TWO new skins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm using a combination of fractal Design's Painter 5 and Adobe's Photoshop 6.0. I only use painter to do airbrushing and color modification. It has tons of brushes and flexability. Unfortuately it is not a true 32 bit program and if I modify a *.TGA file using it I have to save it to disk, re-open it in Photoshop and copy the entire plate onto an original template so that I can get the transparent alpha channel back. Otherwise I get square wheels and stuff.As far as the door jambs go, I don't bother. I could use transparency layers but it would take just too much time.I also did notice the numbers not matching on the BN. Fixed that two days ago. Nels should have both models up today sometime.

Hey, I downloaded the weathered BN engine from the train-sim DL site but where's the L&N engine? I want to download that one but it's not over there. Let me know where I can get it becauseit looks good! Thanks.

OK, the L&N unit has now been uploaded to the train-sim files area. They have 18 different locos over there now! The stable is growing!
