The other day I was sitting looking at this photo when I realize that it was a terrific repaint of the original MLT BNSF model. Which really isn't the right model for the repaint. So I figured that I would try and take one of the dash 9's in the cascades pack and transfer the s file to have a better shape. CP doesn't use the dome anttena or the "gullwing" cab...So I copied the s file over, remaned it. All going well... I get it in SFV and everything lined up great. The only problem being that now the cab windows are white and are no longer transparent.Does anyone have a solution for this???Photo taken by Dave Dean aka "dea0024"

I would guess the alpha channel, I am still a newbie at reskining and renumbering. Also I had the same idea you had, but when I was looking up road numbers I saw that CP didnt have C44-9W's they had AC4400CW's http://www.trainweb.org/galt-stn/cproster/current.htm So basically I scaped the whole idea! I saw one on http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=84725 But I think it was a photographer goof up.Pentium 4 / 2.4GHz HT O/C @ 2.755GHz w 920FSB

Copy over the two additional textures in the SP C44-9W folder that aren't found in the BNSF folder.- - Nick Wilson
