Paint Shop Pro. D/l the trial version, if you like it, buy it.As far as I can tell...the first two photos are of already created models. So all you'll have to do is re-skin them. And why would you get in trouble for expanding you horizons and learning dificult stuff on your PC?

I meant the F units are VERY avaiable...countless number of models. My point is to get you lazy butt off this board and do some stuff for yourself. I've done some reskinning, i've got a long way to go, but it's not HARD. All you have to do anyways is take a F unit in PRR livery (if there is one) and change the logo....C'mon....

Not to be igonorant or anything...I could give you some advise... A paint program I rely heavily on is Image Forge. I simply open up the textures to my desired model in TGAtool2, send the miage into either Paint Shop Pro Version 7.0 if it has an Alpha Channel, or if it doesn't, I send it to Image Forge, even though I recently tested an Alpha Channeled ACE File in it, and had no problems. For the F7, all you would need is an F Unit in PRR Tuscan 5 Stripe, which you could change the Front and Side Keystones to display the OC instead of PRR labels, and the big "Pennsylvania" lettering to Ohio Central. The one steam locomotive: Is that a 2-8-0 or their Ex-CN 4-8-4? If its a 2-8-0, you can relabel a 2-8-0 or even one of NALW's excellent Berkshires for it, even if it were only a stand-in. Just make sure if you use an NALW Berkshire or any engine, you ask for permision form the original creator before you decide to Upload... If you do intend to.I do like your pictures though, and since you took some good shots there: are you a profesional photographer? Just wondering, because those images are great looking...

RE: Ohio Central Railroad Equipment

Surely there must be an FP7 out there by now though, right? Couldn't the FP9 be adapted from one of those with a few detail mods in the skin, and a few tweaks to the .eng file?There are Pacifics and Northerns already out there. Not accurate for the GTW or CP prototypes, but close enough for a reasonable-looking re-skin job if you're not too picky. Some custom details could be added relatively easily using the FreightAnim function to help complete the illusion. Think of it this way, if you're a model railroader and you don't want to scratchbuild and can't afford brass, you're basically limited (for steam anyway) to USRA engines and a few other generic models. Same holds true in Train Sim, if you don't want to build it yourself, you just have to make do with what's out there and hope that somebody will come out with it eventually.
