I want to upload some engines but, I have a hard time resizing pictures that retain any quality when I post sreenshots here on the forum.What I will do is take sreenshots of all the repainted engines that I want to upload, zip up the pictures and put them in the download area.There will be five different files to download to allow you to see what the engines look like before you download them.This way I will not have to include pictures of them in the download area when I upload.Pictures will include repaints of Maple Leaf's GP-9's in the CP-1500 series,GP-9's in the CP-1600 series and more GP-9's in the CP8200 series.Needless to say GP9's will be uploaded without the .s files therefore ownership of KHP2 Route from Maple Leaf Tracks is required.
There will be a file with pictures of my CP repaints using Justin Cornell's GP38 model including CP3004,CP3005 and CP 3084.
The fifth file has pictures of CP and SOO SD's using Scott Miller's Dynamic and non Dynamic undecorated textures of the SD model by TA/Kuju.
I plan to upload the pictures today,as for the engines I still have to make all the read me files that go along with uploads.
Hope this will make a nice Christmas gift for CP fans.

If you look on this web page www.trainweb.org/galt-stn/cproster/main.htm they state that 8421 was rebuilt by CP-Ogden to GP9u 1502 in 1981.I know that it was a GP7 and I changed the grills on the side to match the real one as close as I could.My friend who provides me with pictures is at work I will get him to send me one later and post it for you to see.
If you look in the current roster section it lists 1502 as StL&H.Hope you enjoy the engines
