The Nickel Plate Road is getting a new locomotive for Christmas. I am working on the necessary permissions, and hope to upload this some day soon. Now that I've got the "NYC&StL" on the nose, I think this puppy is good to go

Hello thereIt's looking good, except one thing I noticed. The color around the lettering and numbers is a much different shade than the loco's paint. Are you using paint shop pro? If so, you can fix this issue easily. When you lift the lettering from the original source, use the selection box like normal. Then select "selections" from the pull down menu, the select "modify" from the sub-menu. Then select "transparent color" from the next sub-menu. Use the eye-dropper tool to pick up the color surrounding the yellow lettering ,and it will become transparent. You may have to adjust the tolerance to get it the way you want it. Then apply the lettering to the base loco texture, and it will blend in well. Hope this helps!Grizzly
