Rudy's Delaware and Hudson Liveries

Rudy's Delaware & Hudson Liveries

Release V1. 1. 1 - June 16, 2025

CREATOR NOTES

This mod has been updated to work with Lego's latest revision

that allows custom fonts and naming of colors.

Lego's various livery mods, combined with

TheBeeMan's excellent GP38 model, provided

a perfect opportunity to create these liveries

of post-1976 Delaware & Hudson motive power. This

pack includes ten liveries for the GP38, as well as

two for the game's default Early Steel Caboose, one for the

RS3 mod, and one for the SP Bay Window Caboose mod.

loadable default paint job using TheBeeMan's built-in

painting scripts. Those files are all included here, as

well, and will need to be loaded manually into the following

folder on your PC:

EX-LV GP38-2s

In 1976, the D&H acquired 12 GP38-2s from the

Lehigh Valley Railroad. Originally numbered 314-325,

the D&H quickly renumbered them by adding a "7" in

front, making them D&H 7314-7325. Often, the extra "7"

was simply added in masking tape until the locomotive

could make its way to a shop for proper paint.

I have created five different paint jobs for D&H's

GP38-2 fleet:
