    GMTX GP38-2 set

    Hello folks,

    I am unsure if I ever got around to releasing these, would there still be any interest if I didn't in the past? I believe it was supposed to be an eight pack with 2331 and 2633 rounding off the set. I don't believe I ever got around to fixing some of the light codes for the proper ditch light locations, so it may end up being an as-is release, and the end user adjust those.

    includes custom lettering/numbers from my personal photo collection of the units, as well as custom shapes for ditch lights, and PTC array system above the cab.

            Okay excellent. I'll take a peek at the ditch light coding, see if I can make the adjustments without it being too difficult. I'll see about adding 2331 and 2633 to this package as well!

                Within a day or two, these should be ready to go, I'll probably drop a beta file set to you guys in a PM first before the official release.
                It's apparent this is going to be an requirement with future releases...
                Probably should change the "readme" file to "ignore me" as well.

                  I would appreciate a copy of the set too. I could have a look at the light coding or finish it if you wish.

                    Shawn,
                    Would I be correct that these units could be numbered 4900-4912 that the CN has now ?
                    Thanks for your time and effort in all you do.

                      Similar, all the ones above are now on lease to NBM Railways (New Brunswick Southern). Eventually I believe they will be returned to GMTX.

                      I did look, it appears CN does have some similar. I have photos of 4902, 4908 and 4910. I could probably throw a couple into this package or separate.

                          I would release all of them! They look really good and I could use them! I know I don't have any like that!

                              Thanks folks. I opened up my private messaging system to all members, so I can send out the drop box link for testing. I got all the lights squared away and added both 2331 and 2633.
