Description Not my best. I'm kinda running out of streamliners that I'm able to make. If anyone wants to make their own streamliner sprites, go RIGHT AHEAD. I'm not the only one who can do it, you know.

The fourth streamliner I've made, is the CNW E-4. While the Chicago & Northwestern didn't have many streamliners, but the streamlined E-4 Class 4-6-4's were pretty well known.

Reminds me of the Spitfire, a British express locomotive.

I feel like this was the CNW's answer to the Mailwaukee's F7s. Is that just me?

And color scheme for Racine, as you already know, is based on the CNW E-4.

I have a suggestion for a sprite, if you can? My all-time favourite steam locomotive, the Milwaukee Road class F-7 Baltic(Hudson) Number 101.

It's really not hard. I'll list out my steps for you.

1. Find the streamliner I want to sprite.

2. Open a sprite in MS Paint that I can use.

3. Using a bright color (red, orange, yellow, etc.), and draw the shrouding on the engine using the Line Tool and Curve Tool.

4. Color inside the shrouding with the color you want, and add the extra details.

ohhh. what about your own sprites? like for example, how do you change the engine's tender or even customize it to your liking?

Again, just pull up the engine you want to recreate, and use the Line Tool and Curve Tool to model it after the basis. To change the tender entirely, you can open a second window in MS Paint, use the Select Tool to select the tender you want to use, then copy and paste.
