Description
Excellent model by G5K - reUVd and detailed by Micro

This version is probably the best version to use as a base for your own custom liveries

I have detailed it to be more "generic" and appropriate for a wider range of prototypes: 2x MU hookups on the nose, no quad metra lights, cab roof headlights, horns, roof beacons, no aux roof equipment, side mirrors.

The UV isn't entirely labeled but you should be able to figure it out. See the UV-map-3K.png file for a view of it. Note I have intentionally made a split where the roof tilts 45 degrees for a sharp color separation there.

Let me know if there are issues with the UV or things you wanna do that you can't.

Thanks again to G5K for this beautiful model of an iconic engine! :D

Also, Trainspotter, if you are doing other Metra Engines, you might use the existing 159 as your starting point (see my workshop) since that model includes the 4 lights on the nose

Yes, please do make as many liveries on this as you want! I am looking forward to seeing them :)

Do you mind if I make my own Metra re-skins for engines 118 and 175?
