Tropicana 57ft Mechanical Reefer

[QcRail]

I have started with a basic orange version of the Tropicana 57ft. mechanical reefer, with a «Tropic-ana» medalion and green lettering.

The yellowish door is temporary, yet I find it interesting and may do a version with a different tone to suggest recent car repairs

The TPIX marking is at its proper location. This issue will have to be resolved !

I may have a possible solution with a different font to do the white car body. Any suggestion would be welcomed

She's a cutie, anyone have her number?
I'm guessing this is the right coasts version of PFE.
I've read about the "Juice Trains" .

There is actually a juice train that runs to the west coast also.

An update on the Orange Series should include :
1. Orange sides and ends
2. Orange sides and black ends
3. Orange sides and ends with white «TROPICANA» letter logo
4. Orange w/leaf over the "i" (circa 1997)
5. Orange w/leaf over the "i" + »Tropic-ana» (circa 1997)
6. Orange w/dot over the "i" and green data (circa 1990)

I Will need help to relocate the autonumbering position.

Happy Thanksgiving, down south

Send me a jpeg of your texture or textures that require a different location for the numbers and I will generate a new GEO file or files.

Thank You Mainlines. It is great news and I will get back, in a while, after I produce a prototype of the white series; so while you are in the process of changing one GEO file you can also do a second for this upcoming batch - it will be quite a nice addition to all Tropicana aficionado.

Here is what is WIP, no.2

Hi All

A quick update to keep you in waiting - first panel of the white version of the Tropicana reefer.
(note the 141# is from the old .Geo file and will be changed to the new zone, re. «1234»)

Yes! there is basic version without «Tropic-Ana»

These are looking really good and I like the one with the mismatched door color; it will add variety should you decide to keep it that way.

Oh yes! the mismatched door will be in the package, with a little surprise

After more than 8 hours with Photoshop and lots of trials and errors, to properly proportion the detail and place them to fit the ribs, I have one side ready and I feel quite good about the results. Therefore your comment are more than appreciated... as I continue
