Railworks America

Would anyone be able to create reskins of the G-Trax Freeware coaches into the roads: Wabash, The Milwaukee Road, and Southern Pacific with Union Pacific's Armour Yellow? I would love to be able to recreate some famous trains that were painted in Armour Yellow at one point or another.











I would like to see, if possible each version (Baggage, Coach, Diner, Lounge, RPO, Sleeper and Observation (Sleeper 2) coaches) of each, I would do it, but I don't know anything myself about reskining... thank you if you can help me.

Wabash cars are in the library. Are you saying they had these in yellow also? I didn't find any pictures of yellow ones when I did the ones I did.

I do not believe they had the normal coaches in yellow, the dome car though I'm am confused about. Probably they bought one from UP, and named it before painting into the silver and blue, we all know and love.

If I see no progress with this I might consider doing it. I'm going to wait a bit until I make that decision though.

To my knowledge, the Wabash had some Armour Yellow coaches for the UP/WAB Streamliner: 'City of St. Louis", I know some cars were Domeliners though, but I would think that the G-trax cars are good placeholders as it's unlikely we'll see the domeliners in railworks in the near future.

Do you have some pictures?

No sadly, as most photos of the City of St. Louis showing the coaches, the railroad herald are usually blurred, so they could be Either UP, WAB or Pullman (Which some I believe were WAB owned).

Also, I found this post: http://cs.trains.com/ctr/f/3/t/120047.aspx which shows that the C&NW, Pennsy, NYC, and apparently N&W (Ex-WAB) also had some cars in Armour Yellow, but I think the PRR and NYC were just sleepers as I've never seen photos of them.

I did however, find photos of models showcasing the livery on WAB, C&NW and SP coaches.

Yes I have seen the models also but couldn't find anything on the prototypes.
