Aren't those two made for each other.

A first try. Got to rework the ends, the window frames and the autonumbering ... or a little weathering.

The twin peaks livery looks good on that caboose!

Hi All CVP lovers,

I had to change . GeoPcDx file (following GreatNortherner suggestion) to do a wrap-around with the two white lines and the caboose ends. This repaint solution is therefore based on the RWA Foreign Caboose 3D model. This choice has its own draw-back: 1) loose the 2 decals on each end platforms (the decal location on this model is only on the caboose side); and 2) one cannot repaint any logo or any other graphics as the image will also show reverse on the same panel. It's not critical in my case, but for others it could be an issue; if so you have to find the .GeoPcDx file that will give you satisfactory results.

The good news is that we have CVP burgundy caboose !*YAAA*! and should be uploaded shortly.

I was sitting in the Odessa Cafe and looked up just in time to grab this shot of one of the new cabooses at the tail end of the southbound local.

Thanks!

Wayne, a good deed deserves another ... your creativity is a stimulus to others and it gives me an excuse to repaint while the weather in Montreal is sh....y *!twisted!*
I may slow down my production for a few weeks as I am traveling, but before I should finish the Borden's wood reefers.

Now, I shall have my morning coffee, QcRail
