Pretty! So what will a GE dash 8 look like? I've got plans for my SD40-2's, but I've got a couple of 8-40C's that might fit the bill in the Bluebird sceme (I've also got a Dash-8 CW in NS black, but I think I'll leave that as is). What are the NKP fonts like? Accurate? Any idea what inkjet colour would match the NKP blue, or is it a case of guesswork/matching?
BTW, as I live in South Wales, I support Cardiff City soccer club, known as The Bluebirds!

Just had another look at your post Randy, and noticed the exhaust smoke. It set me wondering, does anyone use a smoke unit (Seuthe or whatever) in their diesels? Is the smoke dark/black enough? I think it's usually a bit white and thin whenever I've seen it on steam locos.

That's in Trainz Simulator, I can make them smoke pretty good, but not like the ALCO C628s I have downloaded in Penn Central. Smoke generators get kinda hot, so you would have to make sure you're not melting the shell on the locomotive.

Ahh! Never thought of that. Sounds like a good idea!
