NKP caboose

[NKP1]

Can somebody convert this msts caboose over to Railworks or TS2012? > http://www.trainsim.com/zview.php?cm=list&fid=21037

I'm sorry I'm not very handy about such things as re-paints, etc.

Are there any real pictures to look at?

Update:

I am never impressed by 15min makeup... take it as an example of what not to do.


Unless someone else claims it (and please don't let me hold you back!), I will throw this on my every growing mountain of "things to do".

I made this some time ago from the Kuju default. Nothing special but if you want it I can email it or upload it to Hawk.
I just needed something to pull behind the G-Trax Berk.

Does anyone know what the font is?

I would love to have it. If you can find the time to pm me your link.

Hi PapaXpress, I thought I had read someplace the NKP used the Railroad Roman font? But you may want to check with the NKP Historical Society at http://nkphts.org/ Your 15 minute job looks pretty good, I'm looking forward to your finished product

Regards,

I don't think it's Railroad Roman. Here's a screenshot of Railroad Roman from Max Fonts.

Edit 1: I just found this at the trainresource site.

Caboose is looking great, Railworks could defiantly use a freeware bay window caboose.

By the way, engine in the background is looking great, will be nice to see it finished.

Thanks Rich. Here is another good picture from that site:


As always my work should be expected to be done at a glacier pace. There is a small set back on this particular project as most of my super-detailing I had created for the BLLW caboose was lost when my hard drive crashed a month and a half ago. There were a few folders I missed in my backup process. The loss stings because I will need to start from the beginning with my SP bay window caboose which I already spent several months on.


JP, you are looking at my U30B which sadly has not been touched in several months. I am having a mental fit over how to model the radiator. In some ways the TrainMaster is much easier to model due to its simpler shape. I have not given up on them, just put them on the shelf for a bit (like that train lantern I promised).
