Did you ever wonder why there's a gray Challenger?

It was called the 'Overland'. Southern Pacific had a similar livery on their 'Lark' and exchanged cars with the UP.

These are being built on the G-Trax payware lightweights for the animation and better finish.

Enbiggen for a better look.

Oh, the lettering on the Challenger is the wrong color... that'll be fixed.

They are finished. I'm redoing the Gray challenger in a little lighter color of gray, changing the tender to a coal tender (correct for the 50s) and making the lettering white to match the cars.

It will be released soon. I'll look and see if they ever had any Overland diesels.

Update: It seems as though IHH included a hidden coal tender for the Challenger in the original release and I'll be able to make it work.

FYI, either the FP7 Black Widow or the FP7 Bloody nose would be correct for pulling the Lark. Heck a Daylight or black GS4 would work as well. *!greengrin!*
