    I agree with Eric, and also will add....focus on one thing and finish it. You seem to be running in 10 different directions with chaos.

      I am glad you never asked me that, you'd be afraid of the answer. ​

      You haven't met me have you?


      I do have to agree though. It's best to focus on one project at a time. If you do get burnt out though, there isn't a shame to pick up on something else and come back to the original later. Thats kind of why I dabble between repaints, route building, activity building, and running activities already produced by others that are far better at it than me.

          Pan Am Gevo? I wouldn't bother. That railroad was too cheap to even consider looking at one. Good riddance they have been bought out by a company willing to do upgrades. Though, I feel for some of the guys that either have been cut, or quit for other opportunities..

          However, if you do attempt it. Just be sure to have massive amounts of oil from the stack all over the sides of the hood, burnt marks, no sand, and very little pulling power, then it will be accurate for their fleet of locomotives. haha.

                  As the person who’s done a ton of BN Heritage ES44’s. Let me offer a few suggestions, the numbers should both be towards the rear. Also the wordmarks should match locations and size one side to other. Just some friendly advice for a few adjustments
