Its sad to say that the UP is too simple (just the UP shield) to consider for testing. Also that I was able to reuse 80% of my work on my previous 50' box. *!greengrin!*

That said, I do plan on making the UP and others, it will just take time.

Actually, BN and BNSF didn't own any of the A403 type Boxcars, let alone plate B style.

Well, if we are coming clean, SP owned A403 XM (which is in my latest version repaint), which looks just like the XP.

I saw that, and I was thinking "Eh, I'll let him do his own thing then be a nitpicker."

There are a few types of the A403 that look the same (or close enough) which are XP, XM, XLI. So you could get away repainting with any of these road names.

Here is a brief list to give you an idea of what is out there:

The WP was on my list (creating the feather is a personal challenge). You also need to consider that my time is pretty thin. Some of these requests may need to be handled by the other fine repainters here on RWA.

I will promise these:
SP, SSW, UP, WP. I may ask for help with weather them.

Please don't expect these anytime soon. As I stated on my blog there are a few kinks to work out and I am working with Trainguy to resolve them, and then there are a few RL things sucking the time out of me.

Show me some pictures of California style houses and buildings and I'll build some as well.

If there are any downtown style apartments from California that you'd like to see in the game I'd be happy to construct them for you, and the community.

Here's a set of US style houses I'm going to add to the library. Perhaps they'll fit somewhere on your route.

Hiya,

I haven't been able to update this thread because my old PC (6 years old) failed, and I had no other computer that was able to do any strong computing. I am now waiting for a new PC to arrive within the next few days.

Were you able to back up your work?

That is, save your work, especially your locomotive and box car.

Yes, I have ample backups of my source files.
