CSX Heritage Units
This project was from an idea I saw over on trainsim.com where Dave Bridges posted his ideas in a thread called "What if CSX did heritage units?" He made several images and did a slideshow on YouTube where he gave permission to use his ideas in the sims. I thought that this set of locomotives had a lot of potential (maybe I'm wrong?), so I got permission from Frank McCall (SPorBust) of West Coast Trains & Planes to use his ES44's as the basis of these units. I couldn't be doing these at all without his awesome model. Thank you so much, Frank!
I'm sticking to Dave's ideas for the most part, although I am modifying them here and there as needed to fit the model or the prototype (for example, the P&LE images had the P&LE herald on the nose, but P&LE had a "thing" with painting their doors yellow, so I changed the paint scheme to reflect the yellow doors).
Regarding dependencies: The model of Frank's that I used for the beginning of these units is his Canadian Pacific ES44. You can download it at his site- it will be faulty- but that should get you the most of the dependencies that you need (bogies, etc.). You will also need the horn from his site too. All interiors have been updated to use SD45T-2's AC44 PO&N interiors. All updates use the same KUID, so choose "Overwrite" when installing new versions!

#3100 Baltimore & Ohio
This one was the first in the series, and also the first one that I did, so there was a lot of learning going on with this unit. It will probably have an update or two down the line. I'm mostly happy with it, but I may go back to tweak it a bit.
Updated 10NOV2012- Replaced missing/faulty interior.
