Don't put too much compression on the pictures you're posting. Don't make the same dumb@$$ mistake I did, compressing my images to 10KB instead of the max, 100KB.MTA Going your way for 100 years. 1904-2004

Are those the NALW Big Boys? They look a lot more like the ones from Trainz.

RE: Post your best steam shots here...

Yup, those are the NALW ones! I just reskinned them; I currently have BB's 4000, 4004, 4005, 4012, 4015, and I used to have 4023.
As for the 4501, it's something I repainted a few days ago. I want to tweak the textures some more and then I'll see about uploading Have a nice day

RE: Post your best steam shots here...

Hey Mike,Have you thought about uploading the ACE files for those Big Boys, or is that crunching up with copy rights? Those weathering textures look incredible, and I'd really like to try them for myself! - Toby

RE: Post your best steam shots here...

Yes, I've thought about uploading them, but, sadly, UP's copyright is in the way, and I don't have the guts to work out a license Have a nice day

RE: Post your best steam shots here...

What about NALW, they have a licsence with UP (as far as I know)Maybe you could upload it under their name or something. Those Textures look amazing!

RE: Post your best steam shots here...

A strange one, this guy charted a special on the Durango and Silverton with K-36 # 480, but wanted it with the flying Rio Grande Logo and renumbered 487, and Bumblebee paint scheme coaches....Go figure

NWFreak, you really did an outstanding job on those big boys. I was just wondering what box cars you where pulling?

Here are some shots of the 3985 on Cajon Pass. They aren't the best of quality because I had the jpeg quality set to 60. Sorry.
