It's the weekend again, and a few boxcars have just rolled out of the paint shop. There are a number of corrections that need to be made at the moment - ladders, etc. aren't the right color, and the build dates on the CGW boxcar don't match up. At the moment, the roof on the Grand Trunk car is still the default metal grey; this may change to the overall boxcar red color at a later date. A 50' version of the Great Western is coming, although I'm still sorting some things out with it, and some shots of it should be up tomorrow. As always, your comments, suggestions, feedback, etc. are welcome, and if there's another roadname you'd like to see, just give me a shout. Huge thanks to Michael for giving me the repaint templates for these. *!!thnx!!*

As promised, the CGW 50'. Again, still some work to do with all the car parts, but it's coming along nicely.

Alright, so this has turned into more of a midwest themed pack, but here's the latest addition - an ICG boxcar. There's only a few small edits I need to make on this and the other cars, so with any luck these'll be packed up and ready to go soon. Thanks to Pete Willard and his website railsimstuff.com for the fonts and lettering - the railhead logo, etc. are all part of a font package that means you can just type a single character and you're good to go.

A little change of scenery, and the three boxcars lined up with the last few changes. Hopefully these will be packed and submitted to the library by the weekend.

Hope is certainly a powerful word, and unfortunately, I did not get a chance last week to make the last few edits to the boxcars. Those changes have been made, and the cars are now sitting in Bob's hands, but if you'd like to get them now, here's the Google Drive link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12uVye4 ... sp=sharing

As usual, nothing else is sitting in the paint shed right now, so suggestions are welcome.

How about some New York Central as well.

The GT boxcar looks great.


...Cheers...
