7-Mod GE Little Joe (EF-4/Class 800/Russa/2-D+D-2) Base Pack

Description
Originally built in the late 40s, the 2-D+D-2, otherwise known as the EF-4 (Milwaukee Road), Russa (Brazil), Class 800 (South Shore Line) or the Little Joe, was an electric locomotive built by General Electric that was originally meant to be exported for use on the Soviet Union but that, due to rising tensions from the Cold War, was not allowed to be sold to the Soviet Union as it was considered strategic material; due to that factor, the model ended up being sold to domestic and international operators alike, with 15 being sold for the Milwaukee Road and South Shore Line respectively and 5 going to the Companhia Paulista de Estrada de Ferro (CPEF) from Brazil. Nowadays, some have been preserved either at museums or as static displays, in varying states of preservation. This pack contains five different Little Joe specs for your liveries: single bulb headlight, South Shore dual bulb headlight, Milwaukee Road quad bulb headlight and a variant with platform MU towers, and a Brazilian dual bulb headlight. Liveries and edits off of these are allowed, all I ask for is credit and for this to be marked as required if posted.

- Fixed some UV issues (the side UVs were flipped, liveries made prior to the update are still compatible and usable but might need some mild adjusting to look right)
- Fixed some model issues
- Added horn model to all specs
- Two new specs added: Milwaukee Road-spec Little Joe with rear windows blanked out, Milwaukee Road-spec Little Joe with rear window blanked out and platform MU towers

Yeah, that'd be great. I really try to make liveries as accurate as possible to the real things so a help on colors can really do some good.

Thanks! Also, you can expect a Little Joe livery pack sometime soon. It'll include the liveries I included in the original pack (Fepasa, Milwaukee Road, what-if RFFSA), some liveries I didn't upload (Ph1/blue Fepasa, blue CPEF, green CPEF), and some new ones (red band Milwaukee Road, South Shore).
