Let me know what y'all think. More weathered ones will be coming soon...

This is excellent weathering. You've used more dirt/grime on the lower part of the carbody than upper, and more fading on the upper and roof. That is as good as it gets in my books

I do agree. It is refreshing to see more stock that looks more realistic. There are quite a few of you that are getting quite creative in this. Keep it up.

Nice work indeed. Besides the realistic weathering, I especially like the toned-down white of the script.
Thanks for the work you're doing, and thanks for including the NP

Thanks everyone! Can't wait to get these out to y'all! Slowly churning out these weathered cars. The numbers take forever to do. Here's another one for ya...

Doesn't seem possible, but I'm beginning to smell the grime on these. Nice work!

[Fireexplorer249]

Well here they are! The first mega pack is pretty much done. Should be out fairly soon...

Well, I'm at it again! While work is being done on the 100 ton hoppers in the background, I figured I'd get back at the ole' 4750s. I've gotten a few done so far. A white PTLX leaser, D&RGW (still needs its numbers), and a sharp looking TLCX hopper. Many more cars are planned and like usual, weathered versions will be available for most, if not all, of the cars in this pack. Something that will set this pack apart from others is that I will be tackling the cars that have boards on the sides for the companies logos. I have started creating child objects for these. Anyway, here is a sample of what has been done so far and a sneak peak at what the future holds for this pack. Hope y'all enjoy. Note: the board is just a test and is definitely not the final product.

Very impressive. The boards could be useful as “scenery” items as they could be used for office or silo signage, just a thought.

I like the idea. I may throw in some signage for y’all to use.

Great. If you're looking for another hopper...
