UP SD60M "template"

[ossie]

Some of you will have seen my deadline screenshot and that I'm working on uploading them etc, etc. I was interested to find out that the Green River paint scheme is the least common of the (at least) 4 versions UP put on the 60's and that the attached version is the most common. Pretty much all of my renumbers with the low "lightning bolt" scheme were wrong so I decided to do some of the more common ones and started by creating a "template" to make transferring my weathered versions easier. Luke Lohrmeyer uploaded a version of this paint scheme back in 2012 but I've changed the weathering a bit and also tried to age it to take on my weathering a bit easier. If anyone is interested in having the two texture files added to the F/L to use for renumbers I'm happy to do it.

Does anyone know if UP had an official name for this paint scheme btw? I've been thinking of it as the "common one" which isn't very imaginative of me. 😊

Pete, I would love to use the standard Armour Yellow with the straight Red Stripe along with Abrams' SD60M Upgrade Kit, however I'm not sure if I can do the renumbering myself because I lack the missing font for it, which is the City Of font and that's important for the numbers...

I'm still considering on buying the font myself but that hasn't gone anywhere because a broken debit card problem I have currently.

There's an excellent template for the numbers here, which is what I prefer to use. Lots of other goodies available as well.

Because "Cityof" is a paid font from RailFonts, I won't be creating an alternative either.

The lettering on Trainiax is more than adequate.

Thanks Nash and Eric. I've spent a lot of time on Trainiax and don't think I've ever bothered opening the drawings section. The UP numbers are sharper than what I made for myself and there's some other good stuff in there. Eoin you should have a PM.

And if I did, it opens the door for me to do some UP renumberings because me want some personal renumbers for some variations.

Plus with the F/L having a few amounts of UP content laying around and I can't find what I'm looking for which is... some additional renumber reskins TSN's UP locos, although there were renumbers for the SD70Ms and C44ACs but that's not what I'm looking for, at least for the time being. I might see if I can do some renumbering for the UP SD60Ms and SD40-2s, the latter will include the ones from the UP MOW set which I haven't bought yet but I do reckon I would be happy to have some additional SD40-2s.
