I gotta tell you, you are one Super Dude! To take the time and effort to make all these - and to share them is nothing short of incredible! Thank you, thank you, thank you, and I hope that someone does something really nice for you in return. What a fantastic gift!

[mword77]

These are flat out awesome! Thanks again!

[rrdiesel87]

Thanks all, once I have done the basic templates (markings, car data, ect) for each road I can apply the weathering overlays and knock out 4 cars in about 10-15 min. The NAVS file structure and .DDS format in itself is a godsend.

Anyway..B&O, C&O, Chessie System, CSXT, and P&LE hoppers have been uploaded. Im still redoing the NS ones and will be finishing the L&N and Seaboard System ones in the immediate future.

Yep, lots of thanks to rrdiesel87 for the time and effort and sharing. Truly, an abundance of fine work.

However, you gotta remember, this is a community effort...thanks also to Erick Cantu for putting together the "NAVS" concept, and sharing parts of it with the community so folks could do exactly what rrdiesel87 is doing.

If you can, and have not done so, stop by Tiger Trains and check out the NAVS section...good stuff.

L&N with white lettering



Seaboard System...these are a bit freelanced as it seems not many 100t 3-bay hoppers actually recieved Seaboard System paint in comparison to sloppy patch jobs.

Curious what these would look like for the D&H, B&M, MEC hoppers.

Very nice work on the SBD cars!

[rrdiesel87]

Shawn, I am going to do D&H variations down the line, I can look I’m to what’s involved with B&M and MEC as well when I get to the misc roads

[johnnyboy99]

I wonder if you'll do private owner cars?
there's some that'll probably require some 3d modeling work like 6 bay cylindrical hoppers, etc.

What about doing an SCL/L&N Family Lines hopper with those Seaboard System hopper cars? A few of those can still be found today

[rrdiesel87]

Steve, I have not ever seen any pictures of a 100t 3 bay painted in Family Lines paint, however I did do those on the 70t shape along with some Seaboard System ones. There was many of the BSC 4 bays in those schemes but I opted not to do those as they were already done by SLI in the CSX C40-8/SD60 coal train pack.

[MMCdude]

MMCdude- I couldn't find any pictures or info on those UMPX hoppers you speak of, do you have any photos or links to info?

The included (partial) shot of WSOX 6653 was a complete repaint of the car as UMPX 6653, without the Upper Merion & Plymouth banner. Several of these cars were re-marked to WSOX shortly before they left the southern Illinois coal fields in mid 1988.

Just a sampling of the numbers I've been able to confirm that wore UMPX marks are 6197, 6453, 6511, 6523, 6560, 6618, 6653, 6701, 6702, 6919, 7100, 7101, 7102, 7109. The July 1985 ORER shows cars in series 6215-6578 and 6600-7557.

Unfortunately, it does not look like I ever centered one of these cars as the primary subject in my viewfinder.
