Tri-Rail F40

LAST EDITED ON Feb-03-04 AT 00:29 AM (EST)

Hey all,
For my first big re-paint, I decided I would give a shot at a Tri-Rail F40. I am kind of surprised on how it turned out. Living in Chicago, I tried to get the paint as close as possible from pictures. It is still not completely done, but all comments are welcome.One quick question, how exactly do you get the windows to be transparent?-Kyle

Looks good KyleIf your windows are no longer transparent, you have failed to save the alpha channel when converting the image back to an .ace fileYou using Tga Tool ?Later

Yup, I'm using Tga Tool. The only thing I really know how to do on my own right now is to re-skin, I never could figure out about the windows.

Yes more screens Thanks to Nick (F59PHI2014)for helping me out on those alpha files.Are any of Tri-Rails other F40's currently in this paint scheme besides 810? I might try doing others. Once again all comments are welcome.

Those are looking really really good! Just two questions:1) Are all of your pictures from the Florida Funnel?
2) Where did you get those platforms from? And if they're from the file library, what are they called? Thanks.I'm in a need of a good commuter route besides the Catania-Messina.-Yeah, that's right! The Raider Marching Pride!!! -You can never have too much inner beauty. Or socks.

Looking good, as you might have noticed I am also working on an F40PH, although mine is for the full bucket line.

2) Where did you get those platforms from? And if they're from the file library, what are they called? Yes, all of them were taken from the Florida Funnel Route, which I added stations too. The platforms are not in the file library, but from here, http://www.banbyggarna.com/download/Objekt_re.htm
So far those are the best platforms that I can find.

I did one more repaint of 811, I think the only other F40 still in this scheme.
