Trainsimulations Rolling Stock (WIP)

[rrdiesel87]

Wrapping up the final pieces of the rather large Southeastern Boxcar pack. New additions include the Evans 5277 with full length side-sills and PS smooth side 10' sliding door cars.

Need a solid dark gray IC boxcar somewhere (deathstar era)



Still holding out hope for one of these in a route somewhere. The SCL/GA/AWP car looks fairly close.

Still needs a few adjustments but mostly done...

You are an unstoppable machine Andrew.
Excellent work as usual!

All the 1970's and 1980's rolling stock needed, is finally coming around!

That FEC boxcar needs to be patched into this.

Don't mention patch jobs, I did further back in this thread and got a thumbs down reaction. 🤣

Tbh, I would love to see someone take on the task of patching these (and the other boxcar packs). Many of the cars represented across these packs only lasted a few years with the original reporting marks. That would be a GREAT starter project for someone looking to get in to repainting.

Some of the red Virginia Central cars became Erie Western 9200s

It was something I was looking into, as the BKTY owns a lot of these various cars. At one point, the GMRC and LVRC had a ton of these patched as well, I think a lot of those went to SNC and eventually WRWK or BKTY. I wish I had taken more photos of the freight cars when I was younger, as I used to see a lot of these up my way, patched, but I honestly can't remember who they were patched for, I just remember the old and faded logos, most showing through the terrible patch jobs.

will there be a 1960's boxcar pack featuring more variants of the PS1?

I heard somewhere that GATX actually owns the cars and they're being leased to Union Pacific (which owns the BKTY reporting marks). These days, from the photos I've seen, most of the cars still in their original schemes are quite weathered and rusted, not to mention tagged. Can't forget the conspicuity stripes, either. Other cars have been repainted into either a solid red scheme or red with GATX logos.

I'd say that the latter schemes mentioned above would be a great starter project, especially if there was a blank texture available for those models.

If anyone is interested in taking on the patching drop me a PM. I've got a pretty large collection of boxcar photos so I could probably help out with info on what some of them have been patched to. My photos are all graffiti era so I guess from a "prototypical" point of view, some of these reporting marks may not be the original changes. For instance, ADN & CCR boxcars with HS patches on them. I'm sure it's possible that some of them might have had previous ownership before H&S but I'm happy to help out with any info I can provide if anyone wants to patch any.

BKTY is history repeating itself. MKT used BKTY it's leased cars while it was still independent.

These boxcars are fantastic!

One thing I would love to see, and maybe i’m alone on this, is a proper C44-9WL for CN and BCOL. I can’t find where anyone has ever attempted one.

Anything BCOL (including a route, wink wink) remains very very high on my list of what I'd like to see, especially in current standards. The lack of any western Canada routes for CN or BC Rail is a bit of a deterrent, it's hard to be motivated to work on locomotives when there isn't much territory to run it on.

There was a BC Rail C44-9WL done for MSTS about 20 years ago, but it would be VERY crude by today's standards, and it had some strange overly-bright phototextures.
