CSX GP40's & GP40-2's from TKW

Here are some profile shots of my newest CSX reskins. I am still working on the lighting (trying some things out). These should be out from TKW by this weekend hopefully. As with all of my reskins, these are being released "clean" right now. I am currently working on some CSX GP38-2's, and after those are released, I plan on going back and weathering all of my reskins for re-release. These are all reskins of Justin Cornell's GP40-2 model.CSXT GP40-2 6486

Chris are you planning to use the new cabview with any of these models?

>Chris are you planning to use the new cabview with any of
>these models?Actually Claude, I don't have the MSTS updates, so I myself don't have the new cabview, but I can check out John Rosh's (Concaddy) cabview alias from his new SD40-2's and put it in there, since it seems that most people have the new updates installed.I personally like the old default cabview, since you unprototypically look through the windshield (nice wide view) instead of the prototypical view through the vertical window. I run MSTS more for railfanning then actually playing engineer, so the older default view doesn't bother me, but I'll alias to the new one on the uploaded GP's. Chris Denbow - Baltimore, Md.

>Drop in the chat some night... No, still around. I tried to fall off the planet but this stupid gravity thing always prevents that! I'm working a later shift now, so by the time I get home, all I want to do is drink a beer, take a shower and go to bed. I hate trying to get acclimated to a new schedule. I'll drop in sometime soon though.Chris Denbow - Baltimore, Md.

I would love to see the new cabview used but I guess much time would be needed to repaint the nose into the various paint schemes that the CSX uses.

Could you paint an sd40 in the Seaboard Coast Line scheme.There's an sd45,gp38 and gp35 in the SCL scheme.A gp40 would also be nice.Just a thought.

You might want to check out The A-Line's website for the SCL locos you mention- -don't know what their URL is these days, though.

>Currently some GP38s are in some Chessie System paint too. Not on CSX. As I said before, only GP40 6854 is still active and in Chessie paint. 6565, 6602 & 6629 are in storage in Waycross, and CSX retired all of their GP38's years ago. If you're looking on Dean Heacock's CSX Photo Archive for loco dispositions, don't go by that.

Once again, if you're looking on Dean Heacock's CSX Photo Archive for loco dispositions, don't go by that. Allen Brougham's Bullsheet is THE up-to-date info center for CSX loco dispositions:http://209.147.66.23/roster.cfm?class=CHESSIEDean Heacock's roster on his CSX Photo Archives site is out of date. Case in point, Dean still has a few GP40 "pumpkins" listed as active, although they are all retired. Allen Brougham's is up to date, since Allen is a retired CSX tower operator and still has access to such information.And the photos on Dean's site are way old! Notice the lack of ditchlights, rust and peeling paint. Here is the most current photo I have of 6565, back on April 1, 2000:Not too long after that, it was put into the railroad equivalent of death row, MOW service.Chris Denbow - Baltimore, Md.

Hmm..On the bottom of Dean's page, it says Copyright (c) 1999 Dean J. Heacock. All rights reserved.
I assume that means it hasn't been updated in at least 3 years?

He does photo updates every other month or so, as he uploads at least 40-50 new photos each time.EDIT: His last update was back on 10/17, and the 4 Chessie GP40's were still online then, as well as the last MOW GP40's, so that explains that little mixup. He added 98 new photos on this last update.Chris Denbow - Baltimore, Md.

>service? i might be wrong. thanks Thanks Ryan. Growing up in Baltimore, not too far from Alexandria and Pot Yard, I too like (and miss) the RF&P. And yes, you are correct. CSXT 9703 & 9726 (MOW GP40's) were ex-RF&P units. 9726 was retired not too long ago, while the 9703 has been retired for a while.Also of note, while I'm at it. 6248 is the only GP40-2 that is a Train Control Unit equipped to lead on the RF&P (along with most of the CW60AC's, SD60M's & SD60I's).Chris Denbow - Baltimore, Md.
