RRDiesel87 ORTS Repaints

[marklester01]

I see similar ones often too, but not so much theirs( though have seen several repainted wonderfully ) & more so The EX-80s ones more. Mainly The ones CN still has a huge fleet of for S.coal up in Canada, but are mainly PRLX-SPSX with the EX-Procor Logos showing! Then, there's the older Bathtub coal Gons used for them too besides the newer gons & standard type ones.

These are the completed DJJX Thrall scrap gons. There is also a set of 4 PEPX coal gons to match the NAVS 100t hoppers already in the library. I will try to get these and the CR family 70t hoppers uploaded this week.

Those DJJX cars are awesome!

The replacement CR family 70t hoppers and the DJJX and PEPX gons have been uploaded to the library.

I decided to do some more fictional stuff while working on the Thrall gons. Here is some US Steel Thrall gons set up for unit coke service. In theory these could be used on any route across the country as US Steel has multiple mill and coke operations nationwide.

They look absolutely authentic, so I agree! Nice job.

[rrdiesel87]

Thanks Neil, I can't recall many mill service cars that looked nice and clean.

Another side project...

That Staley tank...WOW

Hi Folks,

Nice work - your skills have been really improving with each new project.

Completed Staley (STSX) tanks, using the TS CGTX Acid tank shapes, probably not the right model but its good enough for me. Does TS have a proper corn tank shape?

[geepster775]

Does TS have a proper corn tank shape?

Yep. About 4000 gal larger. 19,000 gal corn, 16,000 slurry and 15,000 acid. The first instance was in either the CN or CP GP9R packs and probably also came in the MacTier pack or some route afterwards. These are some pvt repaints done by others and sent to me.


Corn left, acid right.

The above contains plans and specifications for a 19600 gal corn syrup tank car. The gbrx site has plans and specifications for most of their leasing fleet.

Thanks for that info, I may have to revisit these with the appropriate shape.

[geepster775]

Did some more digging through zip files and the same Casco corn car was in both the CP GP9U set (whatever that was rebundled to nowadays) or the Mactier trainsets (this pack had both the corn car and the very different slurry car)

[pwillard]

Ok, these are awesome... even if on the slightly wrong car. I could look into making the right shape.
