I am wondering if anyone out there can create a re-paint of the Missouri Pacific's Sceanic Limited, and the Denver, Rio Grande & Western Zypher's ribbed passenger cars?

Here is a set of Zephyr cars, includes the California Zephyr drumhead - search for 'MadMike1024-Burlington_Zephyrs_Pass_Set'

Thanks, But to do the Scenic Limited, I need Missouri Pacific colors. The California Zypher route ran through Denver over Moffit. Where as the Scenic Limited ran from Pueblo over the Tennessee Pass to Salt Lake City. Im not sure about the other carrires, but the MP had a club car with a dome on it. They called it a Conductors Car.

Have you any pictures? I am going to do a UP Overland gray, and while I have the templates open it would be simple to do.

Here is the best picture I can come up with. There is not a whole lot on the MO-PAC.

Here's a nice one, even if it is black and white... we know what the colors are.

It can be done.

This is a little of subject yet keeping with the theme. Some 1960's GP40's in DRGW colors would be perfect.

Band below the windows needs to be wider and chrome/stainless, and the valances need to be the light gray. I took the colors from this photo of an Eagle observation, so it should be very close.

What do you think so far?

Let's get a drink and go enjoy the view...

Needs a number set fixed up and some detail work, main work on all seven cars are done. This will require the purchase of the G-Trax streamliner set.

I found that you can change the Eagle's feathers by changing three texture files: the name plate, the carnames, and the drumhead.

I'll include a set for the Texas, the Colorado, and a couple of others. What would you guys like to see?
