Note: the bridge used in the screenshots are a preview from a large bridge pack I have in beta testing right now. It should be released by the end of the year.

Do not use with the Band-Aid F7 mod!!

So I spent the last few weeks upgrading this pack, its a major update with new mesh, new skins, and new features.

• Red marker lights on reverse units, Green on forward units
• Red Mars lights on units
• Lights are now actual textures
• New light formations/orientations
• updated base mesh
• Updated trucks, courtesy of MrCheesecake for converting Erick Cantu’s MSTS GP38, at TrainSim.com
• NEW: Bluebonnet!
• NEW: ATSF Freight scheme!
• NEW: Yellowbonnets!

The EMD F7 is a staple of the golden age of railroading in America. In 1949, ElectroMotive Division released the F7, one of the most succesful locomotives ever made. With its ‘bulldog’ type nose, it has become a staple image of mid 20th century railroading.

• Top Speed: Freight Units = 65mph, [All]Bonnets = 102mph
• Weight: 112 metric tons
• Power: 1500HP
• 56,000lb/f
• Emissions at 83
• Available: All @ 1949, no end date

• EMD Demo Set (A-B-A)
• ATSF ‘Super Chief’ Warbonnet, including 347C A-B-A
• ATSF ‘Bluebonnet’ A-B-A [v2]
• ATSF Freight Scheme A-B-A [v2]
• ATSF ‘Yellowbonnet’ A-B-A [v2]

Note: the ATSF B unit is unnumbered as the number was incredibly small, so make that dream lash up you’ve always wanted!

For the other units, check out my mods!

This holds all the files needed for reskins, thus the name ‘Starter pack’. Its like that base set you get as a kid for your pokemon cards. Just like those packs, this is big and file size is relatively large due to the needed files. In the long run, it saves storage space and potentially better performance.

Load this mod before other F7s!

As I said, this is an incredibly popular locomotive. I can’t make over 100 skins for this thing, I have a life and projects outside that of the F7.

So I left you a little gift inside.

The UV map, the shadow map, the link to the GSheets master list (to claim which skin you’re doing), and the link to my starter PSD which is in my GDrive. If you require the blend, then you’ll need to reach out to me. I’ll include a link later to the OBJs of the files when I post them.

For a repaint, all you need to do is create the diffuses and choose which metal map you’ll need. theres a base coated one, then for ATSF units theres a special metal map.

HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY 🙂
