Thanks again, Norm.

There's a small error in the TPRDD upload of this red boxcar. I've fixed it and uploaded the error free version to my web site. I don't think I'll fix the TPRDD version because it's not that critical.
(For those who want to know, the 128x64 art file doesn't show up in Surveyor in that little window. It shows up as a white square instead.)

If you want the corrected version, click my sig link below and grab it. Sorry.

Why not? The more, the merrier!

Those look real good! I just finished watching Buster Keaton's The General and your boxcar reminds of the ones in the movie, except yours is a little longer than Keaton's.

I think Keaton's car's are 28 footers. These are 34 footers.

Thanks, guys... But I really don't like the above car. Not sure I really like this one either.

I wonder if there would be any interest in a newly painted red boxcar?

Any input welcomed.

Meridious has some 28' cars at TPR. I seem to remember they are compatible w/ my trucks, so you should be able to put your reskins underneath. The texture layout is very close to these 34' cars, as I used the 34' texture as a base for his cars.
The new car doesn't look bad - maybe desaturate the red a touch?

I know he has 4 beautiful 28' narrow gauge boxcars but didn't know he had any link and pin standard gauge. One of my first re-skins were of his NG trucks. (The rusty ones I did for the water car.)

Anyway, I'll look...

EDIT: Aah, yes, I found a lovely little 28 footer. Yippee!

Ya, it is still too bright. I've toned it down 3 times already, too. LOL

Thanks,

Hmmm, a bit better I think.

Found Meridious' 28 footer and have changed to re-skinnin' that beauty instead. I've done 3 of Pencil's so I thought I'd do a couple on the 28 footer.

Fits right in...

I haven't gotten any response over at TPR so I thought I'd try back here.

I know you guys will let me have it...

Looking good!
Try PM'ing Meridious at TPR - he may not check the screenshot forum very often.

Niiiccceee, now we just need those 4-4-0 s Keaton used(ben's V&T lokeys look about right...

), and we can re-create the movie! We might have something here....

Lets get those cameras rolling!

OK, will do.
I knew I'd get a response over here...
Thanks guys. I'm not to good at this 'new' stuff so the next one will be old and beat up a bit, so to speak.

Here's the final version, folks...

Here ya go, Sam. Where's the cameras?

Mike said go with it so I'll put it on the TPRDD and my site as usuall and start on an older version.
