Welcome to my first diesel livery release!  This mod adds a comprehensive livery package for Greenninja's EMD F7A and F7B, covering Southern's ownership of these units from purchase to retirement, including a fictional version of the green scheme Graham Claytor implemented for passenger power in the 1970s, worn by the FP7s and E8s.  The model is not 100% accurate to Southern's F-units as Southern never purchased the dual-headlight F-unit, but they are close enough.  Both Lego's "Library of Stuff" and "Logos and Deco" mods are required dependencies and must be fully up to date as of this version's publishing.  Obviously, Greenninja's F7A and B are available on Nexus and are also requirements.  Installation is via UMM.

The liveries are individual checkboxes and have their own default preset to go with them.  They are:

Early green - this is what the first F7s wore when they were purchased.  They carried a green very similar to that used on the last steam passenger locomotives and clean white as a secondary color, with Dulux gold pinstriping and lettering, the latter of which was small and in line with the portholes.

Late green - this replaced the early scheme fairly quickly, and later F7s were delivered in this scheme.  Colors were unchanged.  Lettering was moved down to be just above the gold pinstripe, and the roadname was made slightly larger.  This is THE classic green carbody scheme for Southern.

Early tuxedo - this is the first version of the well-known "tuxedo" scheme.  The lettering remained the same size, but green was replaced with black, and the gold pinstripe was now applied with reflective material making it both pop visually, and increase visibility.  The numberplate mounted on the front door was generally removed at this time, resulting in a clean white nose.

Late tuxedo - this marked the introduction of the large, 12" lettering.  Eventually, as Southern started to expand computerization, the check codes were added to this scheme, the little letters you've seen at the end of Southern diesel roadnumbers in the 1970s and 1980s.  Some F7As in this scheme regained a version of the Southern herald on their nose with the "Look Ahead, Look South" banner under them, so this is represented as a separate checkbox you can turn on if you wish.  This is what the F7s wore until their retirement.

Claytor era green (fictional) - Graham Claytor did many great things for th
