RRDiesel87 ORTS Repaints

[CSRX]

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

Maine Central cars are H350, 3418 Dry Capacity. Not sure if that makes much difference with these cars you are producing. I don't even remember or recall if they are 100ton or 70ton.
Here is what they use to look like with their patch jobs.

And current looks with a full repaint, relettering, and metal work redone.

D&H Ex Reading car, also an H350

I *think* this one is a 70ton, and I do believe these became B&M lettered eventually.

Also H350, for B&M. Though compared to the car in front, I think these H350's are 70 tons. I honestly am not too sure. I never really got into the major differences with anything other than boxcars.

Next up...Ive always wanted to do a set of Pennsylvania Power & Light Hoppers (easily the most complicated hopper paint ive done). Originally built by Bethlehem Steel Co in the mid 1960s-mid 1970s, PPLX unit coal trains have been a staple across the northeast. Ive done the cars in the original "Reddy Kilowatt" paint schemes as well as the more modern rotary and double rotary cars. These are suitable for anywhere from late PRR days to even more recent NS operations.

I remember seeing some of these during the mid 1970's on BN coal trains hauling coal from Wyoming to the Midwest. Most likely they were being leased at that time. From what I remember, the entire train was PPLX cars.

Thanks, I’m just rolling through stock that I had always wanted to have but had not existed previously and what I see as gaps in the library. I’m happy to share these with what remains of the MSTS/ORTS community. That being said, I still have P&S, PRR, MEC/BM, D&H, and Island Creek Coal Co on my list yet to be done. I’m still open to any suggestions for additional roads that have not yet been done. On other shapes, I still want to do 70t P&LE hoppers and C&O ex CB&Q quads.

West Penn Power Co (APAX)

I haven't found any photos or media of these cars beyond a fuzzy clip from Pentrex c.1995 so these may not be entirely accurate. The APAX unit coal train (CSX symbol U860 averaging 10-12k tons loaded) ran from Keyser, WV on the Mountain Sub east through Cumberland, MD and then west over the Keystone Sub to a powerplant near Pittsburgh, PA at least through the late 1990s. These cars will be right at home once TrainSimulations releases thier updated Sandpatch route.

I am enjoying your excellent models very much and have a small request. I manage and sort my rolling using Train Store. Train Store is unable to the model type (freight, carriage etc.) in the Include files. Would it be possible to put the model type in the *.wag so that Train Store use it as filter.

Thanks in advance,

Thanks in advance,

You should be able re-name the wag file to whatever suits your needs. I personally have them named to my preferences for TSRE.

After a bit of a break, moving on..
