[Bcbuhler]

Alright I got a lot done the brake system and trucks are done as well as hand rails so now I think all that is left is the couplers and air hoses

Buzz can you please move this thread to the freeware WIP for BcBuhler? I'm gonna give him the thread to post his WIP images as my part has already worn off its use. BcBuhler this is now yours to post your WIP images to your hearts content. Thanks for making my request a reality! Your a really good modeler and should be proud of your progress so far.

Thank You BcBuhler!

WOW that is amazing job. i been waiting for these to be made. thank you that impressive work keep it up.

[raptorengineer]

is there any updates to the project?

[CPRailfan34]

Idk yet, I was the one who created the thread as a mere suggestion then gave the reigns over to the person working on it he's probably busy at the time.

[Bcbuhler]

Yep this one might take a little longer I have to learn how to use blender which is probably going to take a while. But if someone else what's to have a go at it just let me know and I can send you my progress.

You might be able to send your finished model to a fellow repainted or modeler who can then convert the file into a Geo file for you, then all you have to do is repaint it. But if your using Blender, there are tutorials in the forum if you want to view them. The link to the thread is here feel free to check these out:

I know its been a while since I posted an update but I am happy to announce that these cars are in the game thanks to Danpmeyer who volunteered to get these cars into the game. There are a few things we have to do before they are released: reskins, auto numbering and the loads for the cars. For paint schemes I have red and black CP Multimark, CP with a white stripe,2 Sultran schemes and Procor if there are any schemes for these cars I missed please let me know and I might be able to do it as well in the pack. I am also hoping to include a scenario or two for the Canadian Mountain Passes route.

[BoostedFridge]

This is great to see! Your list of paint schemes looks good to me. For the coal hoppers, just be sure to make them nice and dirty

Nice work!

Nice job on working on them at least you had some help, I made my first repaint as well. Come to think of it, I seen the real thing recently coming through the Windermere sub, there were 100 of them in Sultran livery, a treat to see considering they stopped using them for westbound coal unit due to them being heavy and consuming too much fuel. Here's the video:

What did CP do with the cars that were formerly in unit coal service?
