Bernard, Any Plans on any Newer Trailer Pack whats seen on the NS Chicago mainline ?

[CSRX]

Thanks for all the kind comments folks, like what you did with them Shawn

Thanks Bernard. I got to figure out how to peel the trailers off the spine sets too and get those planted in place. This intermodal yard today is basically just 40 foot containers for Poland Springs Water, but I'm putting a fictional twist to it with my fictional road, so no holding back.

Not planning any intermodal stuff now for a while, been doing this since May and i am burnt out, need to start setting up all the other uploads i have been downloading since then, have a huge folder of stuff on the hard drive to deal with

MY UPLOAD PROJECT NUMBER 228 (GO2 Logistics Trailer) STARTS BELOW

Glutton for punishment, found a pic of a GO2 Logistics Trailer when i was looking for container pics over the last few months and decided to try it for personal use, but i decided as it progressed to share it so as i cannot find any DDTX AP53 cars (not sure if DDTX purchased any) Florida Coast Railroad did buy them but i did not want to redo the graphics for that as well, so i decided to put it on a triple mixed spine set with 2 containers on the other 2 wagons, so far the trailer is done just sorting out 2 containers one of which will be the Swift one i did in one of the other sets renumbered.
so pics of the trailer below

for the 3rd load i am doing an Alliance reefer, just started on the sides, again because of the mapping issues on the reefer end of the shape i cannot put the reporting marks and numbers on that end

first run in ORTS, there will be an empty spine car set as well (same Number)

Now in the file library

I also did the trailer so it can be a stand alone unit, its not the trailer shape that is part of the original set it come from the TTEX Long runner set by David Rowe and was the middle Trailer with the wagon hitch below which i have alpha'd out, if you want to use it for scenery, just use SFM to move it to sit on the ground.

MY UPLOAD PROJECT NUMBER 229 (Blue Circle Cement 2 Bay) STARTS BELOW

just looking through a folder of repaints i was working on and rediscovered one i did long after i had finished all the other 2 bay hopper sets i released that i had never even posted any pics of, need to work out the readmes etc, but a bit busy right now (in the middle of having some work done to the house by the landlord to have a window changed for a door in the living room so that the ambulance service can get a stretcher into the house to get my wife out should she need to go to hospital again in the future, at the planning stage with contractors coming in to sort out what needs to be done and get plans drawn) but here is a pic for now will upload when i get a chance over the coming week or so.

I don't know anything about BCAX, or if they still move cement, but I have some BCAX 2-bays from almost 10 years ago on a different hopper (Trinity?). Yours will be a welcome addition, though I'll probably modernize them with reflective yellow tape.
Looking forward to these, thank you!!

[CSRX]

Neil, I think most are marked for GFCX (Glens Falls - Lehigh Cement in Glens Falls, NY). At least from what I gathered when looking up some photos for some leaser cement hoppers..

[MMCdude]

I do see some of the Blue Circle cars go by the house (BNSF Brookfield Sub) every week or two, they're looking pretty rough these days. I think they still have the BCAX marks, I'll try to remember to look next time I see one.

[burgerbern]

the pic i used as a reference was dated from 1992 and was just beginning to look a bit tatty, i cannot weather so i had to leave it as it was from my recolored blank, the trinity ones were numbered in the 200's series.

[burgerbern]

they are now uploaded

[Timbit]

Thank you, Bernard, for adding these 2-bay hoppers to the library.
