No Via Rail?

we have 6, i repeat 6 repaints of the F40PH in VIA Rail but no Coaches! i was wondering if one of you great repainters would find the time to take the coach that came with 3DTrains F7 set into a Via Rail coach. (this one because it has the texture of a bud car) all you really need to do is put the logo on one end of the car and a blue stripe along the top of the windows. if one of you would like to do this just use a picture for a refrence. this repaint should only take 15 minutes tops!

Has anyone done this yet? I have not seen any VIA coaches either.

I have them scheduled, but I'm trying to keep a balance between keeping up with requests & getting burned out here :P however you're right they're fairly simple, so it'd be a nice break from evil things like unwrapping.

Hmm, but not the 3D trains ones, coz I don't have those. GTrax ones probably, and in original VIA.

I think the G Trax cars would look better if you were going to do the "Canadian". This set has the dome car and the rounded rear end of the last car. They woul go nice with an E or F unit or a nice F40PH repaint.

Intending on doing early VIA because I remember it from a long trip around as a kid. Not entirely sure on the best models to use yet though.

I'm a bit stuck on things with deadlines atm, if someone is fed up with waiting & wants to do some. Having stared and poked at the G-trax cars a bit, not happy with the results for those anyway. The smooth-sided britkits one might look better, I just don't have time to work out how to paint it atm.
