A huge 'Thank you!' to 'rrdiesel87'

Since nobody mentioned this so far: A huge 'Thank you!' from me to 'rrdiesel87'/Andrew Collins for making available to the community his excellent texture upgrades and bonus models for some of Trainsimulations' payware sets!

Cheers,
Uli

Agreed...A big thank you. Your work does not go unnoticed.

I thank you also. The CR Texture upgrades have a minor error - the SD40-2-6354 should be 6359.

These are nice!

I'm curious, was the omission of "CONRAIL" on the engineer's side of SD40-2's 6359, 6477, 6479, 6480, 6508, 6521 intentional?

Also, the eng file for 6508 was missing, attached here. CR_SD40-2_6508.zip

For black numberboard units (under-represented in the packs) which would still be factory boards, I prefer this Justin Cornell supplied font to most accurately represent the EMD "factory" font.

I used it here on these UP SD60's

Thanks for the kind words guys,

Regarding to missing "Conrail" wordmark on the SD40-2s..that was totally an oversight, I must have had that layer turned off for some reason. Anyway I will for sure correct those textures and upload a fix.

Also, 6508 was an incomplete set of textures that it looks like I forgot to remove while compiling things. Personally, I would just delete both textures from the folder and disregard that number

Geepster, I had no idea that Justin Cornell font existed, thanks for posting the link.

I too wish to express my thanks to Andrew for the additional renumbers, especially the PC patches! Only comment I have is that it seems like the font used for the cab numbers is a little off - thought the 3s didn't come to the center enough. Otherwise, fantastic work!

🙄 There's always "something" to whine about with some people. The CR logo I can understand, but the spacing of numbers and the "wrong" entry in the readme file...

Don't you have anything better to do? Count green M&M's, do the NY Times crossword puzzle in ink... heck, count stars in the night sky!!!

A "criticism" of a genuine thing like a logo, or a part that's out of whack, or an entry in an eng file that messes everything up, I can completely understand, but some of this is getting OLD!!!

[HookitandBookit]

Thank you from me also, those are fantastic!

Huge thanks to Andrew as well. I noticed an issue with the sunvisors on the CSX CW40-8's, and asked him if I did something wrong. The readme file pointed to the wrong shape file, it should be the CSX_C40-8w_7859.s rather than CSX_C40-8w_7805.s as the donor shape file, as advised by Andrew, for anyone that may run into this as well.

Thanks for the WP updates! Now to see if I can successfully play around with PSP and add the "wave" in the flag on 1776.

Yeah, ya know, Andrew, when something goes wrong, or is not up to snuff, people complain like crazy (witness some of the posts here), but when someone does something out of the ordinary, or goes out their way to be nice, people are, for the most part, surprisingly silent. I'm ashamed to admit I was one of them, until ULI2 started this thread. You are to be complimented for both your talents and your generosity. Thank you, Andrew, for everything you do. Its people like you that keep this hobby alive, and I, for one, appreciate it immensely.
