I've started work on a set of passenger cars for Logan20131's Northern Pacific project. These are repaints of the GN Empire Builder cars as well as the baggage and (possibly) dome car from Smokebox's UP 844. 844's dome is pending because the Empire Builder's dome car has a very obvious texture issue. I believe someone else is doing child object logos for these later, however I am not 100% sure on that as I'm only doing the coaches without lettering. I will let Logan or someone else confirm that. Here's a few progress pics

I've finished up the cars that use the Empire Builder as a base, so they're all ready for child logos to be added. Next is the baggage and dome. Also looks like the rear nameboard will need a child as it becomes all neon when I try texturing it something other than black.

Beautiful work! The North Coast Limited is one of my favorite classic streamliners.

This is looking really good, very excited to see how it'll turn out!
NP is honestly one of the most overlooked western railroads, really happy to see how this is shaping up.

Looks like child objects for these will be made when Nitsujy gets the time. We've figured out a possible workaround for the bars on the Empire Builder's dome so we'll see if it works out. More progress pics will come soon.

Had to redo the Empire Builder dome since I deleted it like a goof before I had the child object idea. The two incorrect light green strips will hopefully be fixed by a child object.

I've posted a tutorial in the Rolling Stock Design section for setting up the Empire Builder cars for repainting.
