Finally got a decent image to work with for this special painted car. Someone on the New Brunswick side was able to get a somewhat decent side shot of the car, and I was able to add the numbering and lettering, as well as the FRA striping. I do have some more pictures of some chip cars I never released, so I will toss this into the package when the times comes.

Unfortunately I am not pleased with how the GFCX car turned out.

[pwillard]

I can tell...

I can tell...

Weathering wise. I'm not great at it, and I am not happy how it turned out. Chances are I will replace this with some other car that is a bit cleaner looking..

[CSRX]

In case people are interested in my work still... updated the weathering on the GFCX car. Toned it down a bit. It's not much compared to the real deal, but its more appealing than my previous attempt. The rest of the lettering on the real car is so faded and weathered over, I decided not to add any of it. Pretty positive these cars do not venture far from Glens Falls, NY anyways.

I've still been interested. Glad to see more reskins of the NAVS cars being made now.

2-bays are always of interest to me, so - Thanks Shawn! I see more and more of them on the BNSF Aurora Sub these days rolling through Rochelle.

Thanks Neil, I appreciate that. I wanted something to play around with for CMOR. It is up in the air at the moment whether or not cement service will make a comeback on the former MEC Rockland Branch, with Maine Switching Services taking over operations on the line. Would make a good set up for a CMOR interchange and haulage over the Mountain Subdivision. I didn't have the intentions on these being a public release, but I was scrolling the library and noticed a lack of more modernized hoppers, particularly on the NAVS model, so figured, why not?

Though I may be stuck on releasing some UP based ones, can't seem to find the font that had the shield logo's or anything like that..

[CSRX]

Two more.






Also found this in the "DRS Covered Hoppers" folder. Guess I did this one some time ago and never released it..

Those are nice-looking hoppers, Shawn.

Nice job, Shawn. Always interested in your work! The patched-over BNSF hopper looks great!

[qballbandit]

Love the hoppers Shawn. What I noticed when looking through my hoppers, is that we are missing quality 4-bay hoppers on a "modern" shape. Wonder why the SLI/TRAINSIMULATIONS, or other talents out there have not picked this up?

[trainlover2923]

Well if you want the straight out of the box look modern 4 bay hoppers TMT/TT has them

[qballbandit]

Yes. And I am not slamming TT, but I don't prefer that look or the scale of the cars.

I totally understand.
