After many countless days of searching i have finally found some of the old repaints from RS:

Santa Fe tank car
BN tank car
BNSF tank car old
BNSF tank car new
CNW coal gondola
BNSF clean reefer
BNSF autorack (1)
CNW autorack (2)
GWT autorack (1)

I found all of these at www.Mophouse.com i completely forgot about this site, and it seems that site forgot about rs, it dosen't even have any rw stuff!

That is one of the strangest registration processes I have encountered to date.

Why do they need me to supply my birthday and gender? oh my.... I hope there are no X-rated trains on that site.

Standard fare + silliness

So far I have not received a confirmation email... I wonder if anyone is home?

They may have their registration set up like I do here, where an admin has to manually approve the registration, in which case it could take up to a few hours. You know, if he's sleeping, eating, 'bonding' with the Mrs., etc. *!!wink!!*

Cool... thanks Canadian! Well, I jumped through all the registration hoops... now, I hope they aren't on a long vacation.

I thought I had found every site out there... the most obscure (and ignored) one I have (West Coast Trains) looks like it might have just went bust... was there just a week or two ago.... I haven't seen a new post on this one since RS days, either... http://www.sporbust.com/RS--Downloads.php

Yeah, West Coast Trains is definitely gone. Their forums are still up someplace, and there's a post from the site's owner saying he shut it down. Someone has a torrent with all his freeware, but nobody's seeding it so I couldn't get it.
