Maersk 146 posing shot screenshot contest

LAST EDITED ON Oct-26-02 AT 10:15 AM (EDT) by IcyFire (moderator)

Maersk 146 posing shot screenshot contest! Everyone knows the locomotive now after the publicity here in the forums, since you have matching container cars now, you can recreate this shot below taken on Cajon Pass. Those of you who have Cajon Pass may have an edge on this, but anyone who comes closest to the pic below will get a repaint from me of a DIESEL locomotive in a livery of their choice uploaded to the train-sim file library! Rules:
1.Screenshot must include Maersk GP60M #146 and maersk container cars.
2.screenshot must be unaltered from MSTS (resizing and cropping are exempt)
3. Enter as many screensshots as you feel! there are no limits on this part.
4. deadline to enter screenshot entries is October 18, 2002 (next week friday)
5. entry must try to as close as possible match the photo above. judging will be done by myself.
6. Bill Hemb is not allowed to enter a screenshot in the contest.
7. HAVE FUN!Disclaimer: I will only do repaints of freeware locomotives, as they are the only ones i have and the only kind i can upload into the file library. Sorry for any inconvience this may cause the winner if he/she wanted a payware repaint. *Dealine may be extended if entries are still coming in at contest close time.

That pic is from Cajon. With a few modifications of course. I made a copy of Cajon to play with, to see how close I could come to the picture. Unfortunately, I was adding some more bushes and I got the 'glorious' send/don't send message which trashed my rail database. I couldn't recover from it and since not backing up my work, lost what I had done. So, I just decided to go with what I had. There's lots more that could be done, but hay, I gotta get some train driven in you know.Thanks for the kind words there Jake.Roger

Hi John.Nice pics again. Just wondering, what software do you use to convert your pics?Ray

:-) Thx again Ray -
It's top secret!

Seriously, -
IrfanView: - load the .pcx then crop out the unwanted stuff. Resize to around 750 horizontal, then sharpen twice and save as .jpg. and check the size in MSFT Explorer. The .jpg usually sizes below 100k for easy uploading; if not reduce it a bit more.
I've been pleased with the results, and best of all, IrfanView is free -
