C plate boxcars

[CSRX]

Figured I would give it a try. Not my best quality work, as it's not from my personal photo collection. I hardly see c plate boxcars up my way. Typically it's F plates. Anyways, I used the same copy and paste method with each panel, to match up the ribs and sections, like I have done in the past on the covered hoppers. This seemed to come out really good. Time consuming, but it works, and it's satisfying when done. These c plate boxcars from TrainSimulations New England boxcar pack, will come in handy for this project.

Of course, for some reason, Paint Shop Pro was throwing a fit and not allowing me to export these back as dds files. Never had this issue before with any other TrainSimulations files, or any other file for that matter. However, saving it as a tga file, opening it up and gimp, and exporting is as a dds file through that, seems to do the long loophole trick. Oh well. The end result. I still need to find the rib section that goes across the top of the car and get that to better match the rust.

The result looks pretty damn good Shawn

Thanks Kevin!
Here is another one. Again, not the greatest quality image, but it works well with these new shapes from TS.

Take a peak at my last 10 releases in the library for that information. I usually prefer and like working with my own photos when it comes to these photo texture reskins. Simply because they are high quality large photos and aren't compressed like they are online.

I don't think it's possible to search by author name currently - do you have a link to one or two?

Thanks!

I would like to see BPRR, CEFX and KYLE boxcars.

Unfortunately those are not on my to do list, as there isn't that many of them, and they aren't very common in the New England region.

Thanks Shawn, I think I see what you meant when you said you primarily reskin Train Simulations stuff - that's a solid strategy - I don't own all the prerequisites, but I really appreciate that they are easy to legally acquire! Ironically I think I found your container cars the other day!
