Central Maine & Ogdensburg

[CSRX]

I've been going through the NAVS models recently, and decided to focus on my fictional railroad for repaints. While Brody is tackling the heavy end of the fleet with the locomotive roster, I've been slowly going through and tackling the freight fleet. There is some stock from the WMRC getting patched, or simply being left alone, seems WMRC is part of the CMOR, kind of like how MEC/BM was part of Guilford/Pan Am.

Anyways, some intermodal for the SeeMore. This series is rostered in the 45700-457019 series. While CMOR isn't heavy on intermodal service besides out of Waterville for Poland Springs Water, these cars can be found throughout the North American region earning their keep in the intermodal trains, and a good revenue source for car hire rates.

While I am not up for the challenge of new container repaints on what Erick provided with his original series, I can at least do a serious number of combinations with these cars and possibly crank out all 20 numbers. Other plans for repaints will include single and double door F plate boxcars for paper service, 2 bay covered hoppers for sand/cement service, 3 bay covered hoppers for grain/barely/oats service, gondolas for scrap/mow service, and centerbeams for lumber service. There will be the off chance these all will be uploaded to the library here for anyone willing to use, as all these cars would make their appearances throughout North America, much like the FBL cars found in the library, or any other fictional railroad.

I figured I would post this seperate from the Derby Rail Shops thread, as this isn't tied into DRS/WRS.

I'd say your off to a great start Shawn!

A good group of people with broad creativity. I love watching this stuff. Keep it coming, Shawn!

Thanks guys! More well cars. Considering these are fresh from the paint shops in Waterville, the well cars themselves will lack some weathering and grime. You could smell the fresh paint if you get near them.














Also a pair of double door F plate PCF boxcars, for mixture of plywood or paper service. Though, I am sure can be found in most services as needed, not just on the CMOR properties.

These sand/cement service hoppers were done in the Portland/Thompson Point shops, so they ended up with yellow/gold lettering compared to the rest of the CMOR fleet. One car managed to get stuck in the Boston area for awhile...

Great work as always!

[CSRX]

Thank you, Sir!

For your scrap, grain, and finished paper needs! This will be it for the weekend, back to work tomorrow morning until Friday.

I am really a fan of that blue scheme on the freight cars. That state of maine boxcar is probably my favorite though. They all look great!

[CSRX]

Thanks for the kind words. I think my overall plan will be the "D&H Blue" for CMOR freight, which matches the blue on the locomotives.
When I tackle KERC freight, it will end up being CN red that will match the locomotives. LSRC may get boxcar red or oxide red.

Eventually all freight cars will be packaged and uploaded here.

The "State of Maine" boxcars will mainly get the "CMOR" patch jobs, while there will be some with "fresh paint".

Sean,
I have a bunch of containers and trailers that I painted using the paint kit I would be happy to share them with you if you would like them. to use them you would have to create your sets own "container_base" folder with the new texture sheets as to not overwrite the originals. Just let me know if you would like them.

It's not the repainting that is the problem, it's the concept of I always go overboard with containers when it comes to mix and matching and adding new containers, as I did with my previous container repaints for Hapag-Lloyd, CMA-CGM, and Maersk packs.
I figured repainting the containers are the same process as repainting his freight cars, which, obviously as you can see, I have a decent grasp at that concept.
