I came here after checking for the download - it doesn't appear to be up yet in da file library. I wish to feature the grey EL boxcar in a shot for the Wednesday Route Report. It is difficult to be patient with this one ....

My bad, I forgot about it yesterday. Wifey had me running around to help her get ready to go back to San Diego. Will be her 3rd trip this year. I still have not had a vacation yet.

I happen to be on "vacation" too, its more like "not really working" but got time for cool downloads. Like this beauty.

Now I cant say I would be as excited if it was Penn (huck tooey) Central, but its not. Thank Goodness.
Suffice to say, it looks as good in the picture as it does in game. This is a First Quality model and I rate this as a "Must Have".
Which means, if your at work, break company security policy and download this puppy right now.

This is ** nice MaineLines!

Thanks, Glad you like it. This was supposed to be a quick "add some real doors" to an old existing model but ended up taking almost four months to complete. I had three major obstacles to overcome:

1. Rediscover all the things I forgot since the last time I did this

2. Learn a new version of Blender

3. Learn a new version of the Blender TS20XX exporter

Next up - Same car with a 6ft Superior door. I thought that the closing and latching hardware for this door would be the same as for the Youngstown door but not so.
