4750 Covered Hoppers

[Fireexplorer249]

Well y'all, I'm back in the paint shed. I'm coming back to the 4750! The plan is to continue down the BNSF heritage. First off is the ATSF-styled cross logo...

Three down...I think I'm going to do some CN and IC hoppers now.

These are great! Your hoppers are an absolute staple in my scenarios!

Thanks Boosted! Glad to hear you're putting some miles on them. They are really fun to make, so expect quite a few new ones to be rolling in soon!

[BoostedFridge]

I really like the nice light dusty layer of weathering on them. It makes the cars very versatile for the scenarios, as that allows them to fit in a wider range of eras. Any locomotives or rolling stock only looks truly shiny and new on their maiden voyage.

Thank you again for allowing us to share them via the Searchlight site. It makes it much easier to link to them for scenario dependencies, and for updating physics, sounds, etc

Thanks for reaching out to me! Its always neat going to their website and seeing my work. Those boys sure know how to create some quality content!

Anyway, here is one for you boys in Illinois. CN and CN/ICG versions coming very soon...

Don't take my silence as me not working. I've been chugging out countless hoppers and enjoying the beauty of Idaho from indoors. Anyway, lets just say things got colorful and there are a lot more on the way...

This last one is my personal favorite so far.

After doing this weathered one, I will be going back and exploring weathered options for a few of the very bright and colorful cars.

[AmericanSteam]

Much appreciated. I need to string these up going across mid America.

[mindenjohn]

Me too.
Good work, thanks.

[BNSFdude]

Good lord, you're an absolute machine! These look just fantastic.

[BoostedFridge]

These are fantastic! The grain company leased cars are a scenario writers dream as they could fit in with almost any railroad's unit train.

[Fireexplorer249]

Thanks everyone! I think I've finally got a good look for the first PTLX weathered version. Let me know what y'all think. More weathered ones will be coming soon...
