The Cardinal-Reskins and Scenario

[Marleyman]

Amtrak Baggage Car or a good substitute for one I believe.

I edited the Thread Title to better reflect what the post has shifted to.

Now the Sleeping Car.

Looks good !

Now, if we only had the route from Union Station Los Angeles to Union Station San Diego. Plus a bar car and some coach cars. Lots of stops on the way on that line, plus a spectacular ocean view.

Looking good, Marleyman.

C&O Coach from the G-Trax Lightweights, this is to add to the back of The Cardinal as I understand it sometimes pulls Private Coaches, so this and a Northern pacific Lounge Coach will be skinned for the scenario.

However, I am not happy with this coach, the Chesapeake and Ohio text is 'in my best handwriting' but is rubbish. Anyone got anything better?

I don't think this matches, but....

That looks excellent and way better than my freehand effort. And yes, I have read the doc's with it and noticed the conditions.

Thank you.

Here is the Coach I am using as a reference;

And here is the TS2012 G-Trax Lightweight Coach re-skin, after another overhaul as the other one was poor.

Still not happy about the white though...
Edited to update the re-skin image (for the rivet counters)

You could use Britkits heavy weight coaches for that coach.

I Don't own that one

The Lightweight Lounge Coach gets a re-skin into Northern Pacific Vista-Dome Livery in order to be the second Private Car...

Looks ok this side

However, the other side is not so good. The 'paint' has slipped...

Any ideas why?

Keep your speed under 45 mph until the paint is dry.

Yes, that would help.

You need a roman font... There are a couple up on RailSimStuff, and you can also try GreatNortherner's from his modern freeware rolling stock pack, but I think that is really Railroad Roman.

I found two for you which may come close:

Would that be for the Number 3 on the C&O coach or for the Northern Pacific lettering?
