Hey all, Well, I am pretty close to releasing this set. There will be four units, and each will share details, and have details for a personality of its own. Unless I find something major again on the skins, these are the ones going into the library...once CHuck responds to me. Enjoy!! Hope you will all like these! I plan to release them in a set of four, AND individually. Cabview and sound will be default as uploaded, but you the customer can choose to have the NALW sounds and cabs if you have installed them. I am including the extra .eng files as a bonus, and way to say "THANKS" for downloading!!LAter!

RE: Final Version of the CNIC "Blue Boats"

I get to see those quite often on the MTTPB (Toronto-Pine Bluff, AR) and the CN's run through auto train to Shreveport. The first time I saw one I didnt know what was going on. Do you think that they will wear the CN paint? And, these units probably could be on the head end of a train in Canada right?

RE: Final Version of the CNIC

Howdy, I doubt if they will get CN paint. The own/lease paint on them would say no. AS far as running in Canada, I don't really know. I would say yes, but then could say no too because of no hot plates and such in the cabs. I never really thought of it. Anyone out there have the total answer?LAter!

RE: Final Version of the CNIC

Very nice work. Glad to see CN is keeping the CR "beady red eyes", although I'm sure they will be removed one of these days.

RE: Final Version of the CNIC

Howdy again, ASk and ye shall receive!!! Ironically, 2462 was on the point of M337 last night when I filmed it!!! So here she is!So that is FIVE units now. Speaking of the "RED EYES", one unit will have the reds on constantly (Even though it is against the regs) to match some of the Iowa Div. engineers running with them on. We get the CN C40-8's too, and the class lights still work. Nice to see them when they are on. Enjoy the pics!!LAter!

RE: Final Version of the CNIC

Eh? All dem darn GE's look the same to me! LOLIm a EMD man...but those blue units..I just find stunning..It'd be nice if CN did a blue like that..but solid...not the patchy colour..with the white logo on the sides.
