Hey folks!
Over the weekend I posted a screenshot of a deadline of UP SD60Ms I use on some routes and I got a couple of enquiries about releasing them. As I said in that thread, the textures were intended for deadline use and the weathering may not be realistic, especially for operational units. I have just started having a look at them though (I did them in July 2020 so it's been a while since I'd taken much notice) and there's a couple at least that should be fine for people wanting some older looking UP power but there are some issues. They're in 1024 textures so not as sharp as what we are used to now and a couple of the numbers I picked have/had the front number boards on the cab roof rather than nose so that might be an problem for some people.
More importantly though I've got a couple of questions about freight animations.
1. I've got Pete Abrams' SD60M loco upgrade FA from the file library on them. I don't think Pete's been around the sim for quite a while but I'm assuming it would be ok to leave it in the set rather than make everyone reapply it?
2. I have no modelling skills but have become reasonably good at "kit bashing" and I've managed to fit step and truck lights and walkway chains to all my locos. I don't remember what models I took them from originally so obviously I can't include them but if anyone has made a set, or could make a set of lights and chains that would fit the Train Simulations SD60M, please drop me a line.
3. I've got a properly modelled FA (so obviously not mine) in there called PTCANTENNAE.s which uses a PTC.ace file in it. Does anyone recall if that FA has been properly released and could possibly be included in the set without breaking any rules.

One upside of digging back into these SD60Ms was I found a set a set of 9 ex-BN/BNSF SD60Ms marked as CBFX leasers I was going to upload around 2018 and completely forgot. They are also 1024 textures but at least a bit cleaner looking then the UP locos.
That set includes an FA called SD40parts that was sent to me after the original forum post (link above) where I was talking about a texture mapping issue. So...
4. Does anyone know who created the SD40parts FA and again, if it would be ok to include in the set?
It'll take me a week or so to give the textures a bit of a once over and get them uploaded but in the meantime if anyone can help with the above questions/FA request, please do.
