No they're not, I'm afraid. That F7 should have given it away. Im working on two routes, one NG the other standard. These standard gauge cars are Pencil's fine creations. I'm using all his Central Pacific and Union Pacific stock. When I get tired of building, I'll grab a car and re-skin it in both g...

Here's another release of mine.

Meridious has given me permission to release his 3' NG Archbar Trucks with my re-skins on them. I've uploaded them to the DLS so they should be available in a few days. Here's what they look like; http://img483.imageshack.us/img483/1695/rustytrucksnf6.jpg Thanks, Mike. Hope all of you enjoy the 'ne...

Here's an update to this wonderful flatcar by Pencil with my re-skin... I need access to those trucks, please. I can't find them anywhere. Is it possible to get a .bmp, .jpg, or a .tga format copy of them??? (They're the only formats I can manipulate.) http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9608/penflat...

Here's another re-skin I'm working on

Thought I'd share my latest project. It's still unfinished, though. It used to be Pencil's 30' Union Pacific Flatcar. Now, it's just unknown... :)
Any comments on this one?

Need some help removing the auto numbering system

I'm re-skinning some of Pencil's rolling stock and want to remove that auto numbering system. I know that the number 9 will print nothing and stop it while in the game but, when cloning the car, that doesn't work. Is there a way to edit the config file to remove all instances of that function? I've ...

Have you ever wanted to make backdrops?

I've been beta testing this Do-It-Yourself Backdrop maker and wanted to let everybody know that it is a fantastic 'utility' thingy. jost62 has done everything for you and all you have to do is add your own picture to make it work. I was amazed at how easy it is to use. Features; 1. Invisible backsid...

OK, I see what you mean. I use Paint, Irfanview and The Gimp. I'm really not to sure about layers... Never learned that part of the program. I simply remove each part into a Paint window, alter/edit them then put 'em back where they belong. I guess I'm creating my own layers this way, huh? LOLOLOL T...

No, I didn't know the source files were available. I just opened the car folder in CMP and had a ball. :lol:

Thanks Curtis. Let me fine tune 'em and I will release 'em. They're not quite 'perfect' yet. :D

Have fun...

Sure, no problem. Since they're my re-skins I don't see why I can't send 'em to ya.

I'm going to assume you'll know how to apply 'em through the config file.

Hey, Ken, I've just re-trucked the Central Pacific and Union Pacific flatcars with narrow gauge trucks and they work beautifully. I used meridious's bogeys, (3' ng archbar bogey <kuid2:87907:50301:1>), from the TPR with my re-skins. (I re-skin about everything, though) http://img170.imageshack.us/im...
