Conrail 6410 Livery Pack

Description
This livery pack requires the SD40-2 Modular Mod-Pack by EMDoggo for it to function properly.

If you have a bit of knowledge about the rail industry and its incidents/accidents, then you should probably know and remember the CSX 8888 incident. If you don't, then I'll summarize it up: a locomotive was doing yard activities, the conductor saw that a switch was leading the wrong way, he inadvertently set the throttle to notch 8, hopped out of the cab to flip the switch and, when he realized his mistake, the train was already speeding like crazy through Ohio, with 47 wagons attached to it, some carrying dangerous toxic chemicals. Eventually, after hours of running uncontrolled and failed attempts to stop it, it was slowed down by another locomotive, slowed enough for a rail worker to climb onboard and fully stop it. Eventually, years after the incident, it was rebuilt by CSX into an SD40-3, the "SpongeBob Cab" locomotives as they're often called by railfans.

This pack aims to recreate the famous Crazy Eights locomotive during its four phases: Conrail 6410, its early phase as CSX 8888 (when it was in patched Conrail colors), its later phase as CSX 8888 (when it was in YN2 colors), and its current phase as CSXT SD40-3 4389.

I have plans on more livery packs for this model, and other models too, and I have plans on making more Conrail and ex-Conrail liveries.

It's not that the lights don't work, it's just I had to edit some parts of the light to make the spec as close as possible, and, since I joined the light parts, that kind of made it not possible, or rather hard to do, to set them up into the new light system. So, I just set them up at a different part of the new modding system. In short, it's not an issue with the model, it's an issue with the way I set things up.

Also, since I wasn't able to find videos with the locomotive sounding its horn, I didn't even bother changing it.

I'll make it clear: the liveries aren't prototypical or accurate at all, especially 4389 (I had few good reference photos of it and had to resort to other 40-3s to make it), but I didn't expect them to be while making them. It'll take me a good while before I get used to this SD40 model and how to make liveries for it, but, I guess no one learns everything in a single day.
