Whatever's Locomotive Reskins

Originally posted by Whatever2006 View PostAs the name of the thread says, this is where I post my renumbering reskins of certain locomotives with specific numbers.
The first locomotive in the post is DRGW SD40T-2 No. 5345, this is my first renumber reskin I did and exported on my own, the model is from Train Simulations (Streamlines)' DRGW SD40T-2 No. 5364 from the Green River route, with the Green River DRGW SD40T-2 engine upgrade from Pete Abrams and Jeff Auberpine applied. I don't have any plans on releasing it into the file library.
While it's not the first locomotive I ever did a renumber reskin, that goes to the ATSF B40-8W set that I did with the help of Unoriginal on exporting the texture files, thank you Unoriginal for assisting me there, while I wasn't able to get TGATool2A and AceIt to fully work in exporting Ace files until now.
I did DRGW 5345 because I got some inspiration on wanting to make it's appearance in Open Rails after watching C Vision Productions' Railroad Film; Denver & Rio Grande Western Vol. 2 where in the timestamp 47:58, the locomotive made its appearance, and I'm glad that I did DRGW 5345.
Overall, I will post some more stuff here once I some other things sorted out, I got some plans on doing the additional DRGW GP30s.
Feedback and constructive criticism are welcomed here, and I need to figure out on finding the number fonts that either matches or is close enough to the DRGW number fonts, I need some more practice in doing reskins for Open Rails, I'm still a newbie at it.Attached FilesEoin (Whatever2006/More Than Enough)

I will begin the reworking on the other DRGW locomotives that I did, including DRGW 3011, I will begin work on DRGW 5371 and DRGW 5401, then I will work on DRGW 3011. I could make an extra DRGW SD40T-2 but I will find what number I will choose, then continuing with the GP30s (no SD45s for now?).Eoin (Whatever2006/More Than Enough)

The additional DRGW locomotive set's status:
DRGW SD40T-2 No. 5345 - Done
DRGW SD40T-2 No. 5371 - Done
DRGW SD40T-2 No. 5401 - Done, but the textures need some reworking
DRGW GP30 No. 3011 - Done, but the textures need reworking
DRGW GP30 No. 3006 - Not done, still haven't started work on it
DRGW SD40T-2 No.XXXX - Number hasn't been decided yet, still working out on what number to use
Update: DRGW 5401's textures are reworked now and all of the three additional DRGW SD40T-2s are out in the File Library, the extra SD40T-2 will wait.

Here's DRGW 5345 in Open Rails New Year MonoGame (which I recently installed and did some session runs with it), I did put in the original light glow texture in the MonoGame version and then I see the issues with my headlight position settings I use on the engine file, so I decide to adjust them to be centered where the bulb of the headlights are located, then I will do a test with Nash's custom light glow textures. I thought of doing a headlight position patch for my copies of the GR DRGW diesel locomotives, I will see how it goes.
Note: I'm using NAVS' EMD 16-645E3 Engine Sound Set for DRGW 5345, I decide to give the sound set another go and this time, I tinkered with the volume settings in the SMS and see if I like how it turns out or not.Last edited by Whatever2006; 07-18-2024, 04:47.Eoin (Whatever2006/More Than Enough)

It's been a while now, but a few things is somewhat clear for me and it's to do with working with an additional number set for the DRGW GP30s, I'm working on the blank numberless version on the Billboard Lettering variant for some ease of future renumbering. (V <- Attachment below.)
It's getting there, slowly, but there's more to come.
Update: I eventually blanked the cab side numbers for now, I will be working on the number boards soon. (Attachment below.)

Bumping up the thread as I got some more renumberings and this time it's the Santa Fe Railway, so far I did 4 additional numbers for the C44-9W using Parker's Seligman Locomotive Texture Update V1.5, coincidentally he was also doing his ATSF C44-9W set too, and what's not a coincidence is him sending me his numberless textures of ATSF C44-9Ws #620 and #643, I'm saying my thanks to him, as for the 4 locos I worked on, here are the following:
ATSF C44-9W #600
ATSF C44-9W #611
ATSF C44-9W #626
ATSF C44-9W #630
They are done before as I made them using a numberless blank I made myself before Parker gave me his numberless blank, but I wouldn't mind doing them again-ish.Eoin (Whatever2006/More Than Enough)

And here's the 4 additional ATSF B40-8Ws that I did, but they are partially redone, it's a small update I given to them and they have the correct numberboard fonts after learning the specific font from the RoadGeek 2000 fonts that Parker used on his texture updates.
And here's the screenshots of the 4 C44-9Ws I mentioned above:
But that's not all, I did 2 more C44-9Ws and that's pretty much it, I don't know if I would release them as Parker is about to release his set soon, and Drew is doing the same but with using the new BNSF C44-9W models from TSN.
