Point taken - thanks (and thanks for the CUTHERE tip too!!)

OK, change of tack here as I forgot that the stock is Mk3 Cargo-D

Try this instead:

EH2 - Cargo-D Mk3 & Mk2F coaches [4070722 bytes] - EH2_MK2F_MK3_CargoD.zip File ID: 19171 Date: 10 Jun 2008 - 1529 Downloads

using the TC_EH2_MK3_RFM_CargoD.wag

(the 'free to use' paintkit including the TSRB texture sets are here:)

EH2 Reskin Pack - MK3 Coaches [30083440 bytes] - MK3_RSP.zip File ID: 17590 Date: 01 Oct 2007 - 544 Downloads

... and here is the real carriage (right & left side):

well its staying as it is for now, its nothing "major" - only a few windows so it can wait,


######
ive progressed with the 57s a little bit anyway...



I aint entirely happy with it at the moment, but you get the jist of it.

[Traveller54]

Nice work on the 57's Carl - don't forget that 57313 & 57316 are in the 'plain' scheme! These two are without the graphic that 57324 & 57315 have.

Can't wait for the revised carriage !!!

Liking that 57, great texture work.

[carlwestwood]

like i said, i wasnt entirely happy with the 57 above,

had another go this evening,



and also now, 57316 un branded,
would like some opinions on this one... dya reckon its a tad too "green" ?



feel free to comment (constructivly ]

[qprrule]

Looking good but I would say that the darker colour as all over on 57316 is a little bit to Green, not much, but I think it should just be a little more blue.

[Traveller54]

Well, in the real World they certainly look blue (and they match the 175 DMUs too!)?

I think that the roof grills need a little attention. If I remember rightly that's Paul mitchels 57 model and the roof grills come down more. If you look at my virgin trains class 57 you will see what I mean. Like I said other than that I do like the textures, see the DXT format paid off;)

[jennings]

The shade of blue on 57313 should be the same as is on the coaches so at the moment i am inclined to agree it does indeed look a little too green.

As for 57315 then nothing of note from here - You've done a stunning job of it

[Traveller54]

IMHO the 'work-in-progress' image on 29/01/09 is a more representative colour set. Others are too dark compared to the actual rolling stock?

I did select the links to the images carefully so as to see different photographers work knowing that colour hues can be all over the place sometimes - and they all look a good blue to me (both engines & carriages) without any green tinge to them?

[salopiangrowler]

57313 is blue-r than 57316 needless to say they'll be recieving ful ATW 57 house colours from the summer timetable as theres a second diagram being penciled in.

57313 passed my kitchen window this morning and i also noticed the numbers on 313 are not as bold as on 316

[rowan826]

A second diagram can't be top'n'tail as it means there are 4 locos for 4 diagrams!!

[salopiangrowler]

Thats what i said but apparently there so reliable now since the fault with 57315 has been ironed out!!! yeah!!!


Anyway thats the reason they want second diagram in reverse direction ie 05:xx Cardiff-Holyhead and 16:xx Holyhead - Cardiff

??? beats me im in shock ATW are thinking of such thing without a backup plan. Never the less if required a 57 is available at longsight

[Traveller54]

The second diagram starts in May 2009, routes from Cardiff to Llandudno to Cardiff (and is rumoured to be via Wrexham not Crewe) and WILL be TnT.

[Traveller54]

A second diagram can't be top'n'tail as it means there are 4 locos for 4 diagrams!!

TWO diagrams:

1) Holyhead - Cardiff - Holyhead = 2 57's

2) Cardiff - Llanduno - Cardiff = 2 57's
