Carson Car Shops

I just realized I forgot to post a link. I've stayed pretty busy since my last post with the Narrow Gauge National Convent in Sept and the V&T Conference in October. Sorry for the delay in getting the link to the betas. Here is the current version of the repaints: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0pf7gpgqh...

Three Fictional Railroads: Washoe Valley Railroad #1000-1049 It's hard to get much more Nevada than this! Painted the same red color used by V&T/C&C and others. WVRR-1300-Series.jpg Moraga Springs Northern Railway #1000-1099 Based on cars operated on the model railroad built by my friend Don Ball. P...

The final prototype car of the bunch:

Wabash Overland Line #8000-8499
Another Line car based on historic descriptions of the prototype and photographs.

Missouri - Kansas - Texas #7400-7699 Another tuscan car. I found a photograph showing one of these cars and loved the old herald on the car. MKT-7400-Series.jpg Boca Brewing Company #101-130 The Boca Brewing Company of California operated a small fleet of reefers for shipping beer across the countr...

Illinois Central Railroad #3500-3999 More tuscan! IC-3600-Series.jpg Northern Pacific Railroad #6000-6999 One of many standard NP box cars purchased in the late 1880s through the early 1890s. The Air Brake slogan on the car is from the late 1890s. Painted a generic mineral brown color. NP-6500-Seri...

Chicago Burlington & Quincy #4000-4499 Based on photographs of cars from the 1880s-1890s. Cars are painted Prince's Mineral Color. Use of the color dates back to the 1870s on the CB&Q and remained in use until the 1940s. CBQ-4200-Series.jpg Burlington & Missouri River #3200-3399 A CB&Q Subsidy, so ...

As promised, here is closer look at the repaints: Atlantic & Pacific #500-599 Unlike AT&SF, the A&P ordered a series of 34' cars with normal sliding doors. AT&SF preferred the Wagner plug door design which was a wooden plug door. I've used a typical mineral brown for this color. AP-500-Series.jpg Ch...

I was inspired. There are now 16 repaints!
Detailed screens coming soon.

I needed some yard fodder for the Colusa & Lake route that would be suitable for 1890s. I liked the idea of all the 34' box repaints that are in the DLS, but found them to be a little too fanciful for reality. To solve this, I created my own repaints that might be of interest to others. Box-Repaints...

These sure look good in TRS2019!

In what spare time I have, I am inching ever closer towards having a Beta of the Colusa & Lake. Here are a few recent screenshots. Colusa-Junction.jpg Mills-Orchard.jpg New-Telegraph-Poles.jpg I have a few streams and other scenery to finish up and I expect to have a Beta ready to test in April. Sta...

Norm, All striping would be Aluminum. On a Baldwin spec the second notation in Olive Green & Aluminum would apply to all striping or anything that looks white. If there were multiple stripes on the domes one of them could have been red or another color, but this is a pretty straightforward scheme. A...

I am not sure why you didn't get the activation email, but I just activated your account.

You should be all set.

FYI: T&T 5 and 6 were Baldwin's standard Olive Green & Aluminum as built.

I can probably photoshop a darker version pretty easy. I'll add it to the todo list!
