Spam thread for new NAVS content

[Whatever2006]

All of my locomotive sound projects are on hold until I find out, definitively, how the OR team is going to handle curve squeal. We were working on some major changes that were erased by a member of the team who wasn't paying attention.

Oh, that might be why I never heard any updates on the NAVS engine sounds these days... I understand now and thank you for answering my question.

The Plate C base package and paint kit is now in the library.

00.jpg 01.jpg Plate F kit in progress. A lot of rework needed to be done because the Plate F car is slightly wider. I can't recall ever seeing a Plate F car with a PS roof in the wild, so I think I can omit that roof style in this kit.

00.jpg The first Plate F demo car. Not the best photo (notice how grainy it is), but the only suitable photo I took of a car with terminating ends. Now I can start work on the non-terminating models.

06.jpg 07.jpg Now working on the non-terminating models. I need to create the end corrugation layers yet.

60-foot Plate F cars are on the way! With the new track audio project done and in the testing phase, I have had time to work on these cars again.

I don't think the model with terminating ends will see much use. 60-foot plate F cars with wraparound ends such as these are exceptionally rare, so much so that I needed to create a composite image to model the GTW rebuilt "Texarkana" car depicted. I will now move on to the export and testing phase. 60-foot Plate F cars with non-terminating ends, as on the TBOX car, are super common, though!

And the man returns!

Very nice cars indeed. I know there's a series of UP 60ft Highcubes rebuilt from older cars that have wraparound ends, so I might try to make one of those sometime.

Been waiting for this 60 foot f plate boxcars Erick. I have so many photos waiting to be used!

[Erick_Cantu]

The 60-foot Plate F cars are in the library. Up next, a minor diversion into the rare and strange:

01.jpg This model is, of course, for the 40-foot high-cube cars introduced for appliance service in the 1960s.

Thanks for the 60ft boxcars!
