Shawn, i had another look at the 2 downloads in edit mode and noticed that although all the contents were listed the actual size of the zip file was 0 bytes, so i found the 2 zips in my backups and reuploaded them in edit mode had to change the file names by putting a underscore in between the word option and the 1 or 2 as i have found in the past that the library will not allow a replacement file of the same name to replace one already there, but they are now available again the same File ID nos 88163 and 88164.

Thanks Bernard, I appreciate you taking the time to take a look into this. I'll be sure to download and this time save them on the external hard drive in case this happens randomly again.

Progress on the ABF, i was able to find a hi res pic of the nose end, but the one i found of the door was in a sunrise/dusk setting and had all the colours messed up by the lighting, one door was illuminated golden while the other was in shadow so am having to re-create the door end from scratch

Really liking that Matson container!

Nice work Bernard! Do you plan on making a FedEx intermodal container set?

[burgerbern]

The Matson is finished so that's 3 of 5 2 more to go for this set and then just 5 remaining of the next one, then i am officially done with containers for a while, been at these solid since may and they are getting to me, not that i havn't enjoyed making them.

Excellent work Bernard, Thank you for all the effort and making these available. The textures are world class!

The next one is this robinson, i found a hi res pic of the door end but not sure wether to include it or just use it for reference due to the way the sun is highlighting one part and leaving the other in shadow, what do you think of it as is.

Great detail! I like the rust spots around the door frame.

My answer may vary vs. others: I don't mind it if it's the best you can find to work with. I spend most of my time in the cab, so when trains whiz by, I wouldn't even notice that small oddity. The long sides are much more visible than the ends. Others may find it a distraction if they stare at this kind of stuff, or spend a lot of time outside of the cab building the trains, cutting them apart, or just simply being a rail fan.
I get it, you can't always find the best photos to work with, so authors choice.

Here is no 4 off 5 finished just one more to go to finish this set.
