How about worn railroad brown? There were lots of those old-timers. Or how about tuscan red, or how about..... I've got to stop, or you won't get any done. They're looking really nice.

OK, Norm, how's this brown?
OK, I think I like this better...

And a Happy New Year to you too.

I don't know how you do it, but it looks real good.
I actually like it more than the green one.

Those cars look real good! If only they were narrow gauge...

Sam !!
So, you think with a "narrow" mind ?? like me ?
I made that same comment once he started this project.
Two great minds think alike. LOLOL

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and to all my fans and fannies, including Norm,
Heeeeerrrrr's the brown one!
Final version is now posted at my site and the TPRDD.
Have fun and enjoy...
P.S. I like the brown one better also, Ken. LOL
And thanks again, Curtis.

Its a work of railroad art! I love that worn-through paint on the sides.
Sam
P.S. I like it better than the green one too.

Thanks Sam. The roof looks real good, too, in-game close up.
Here's another version of the trucks. They're a little lighter, a little cleaner, and dusty so, I'll call 'em (dusty) They look real good under all the freight cars, btw;
Enjoy!

OK, gang. Here's another one in red. I may do a yellow still. Unsure at this time...
Need to add some finishing touches to this one and listen to any comments or suggestions you may have.

That's a nice looking car - excellent job!

Thanks, Curtis. I've updated it...
I'm not sure I like the darker trim and doors.
It's similar to the green one and I'm not sure I like the green one all that much. LOL

I think you're right, Rick. Perhaps the red trim should be toned down a bit. Like the rest of 'er.

Thanks, Norm. I needed conformation on that.
How's this? I've added the shadows, used the 'rusty' hardware from the brown car, used the dark wood effect for the underside from the brown car, and everything works. Looks like the final version to me...
Here's all three so far for those following this thread...
EDIT:
OK, they are all available at the usual places... My site and the TPRDD.
Have fun!
