In honor of 4014 visiting (even though it's not in the present consist) I thought I'd make one of these based on the G-Trax Ltwt cars. That way we don't have to be threatened in some way by he who must remain un-named if we put together some Big Boy trains.

Very nice Mr. Buzz, are they repaint friendly?
This looks great..
I’d like to someone do one of these into a CSX geometry car or one of the cars from the OCS

If you would post a picture over in the re-paint request section someone might just do these for you. They are pretty user friendly if one happens to be in possession of Kevin's side covers. !*roll-laugh*!

This car was in the 4014 consist this week.

They look good Buzz!

Just a suggestion, but do you think you could do more repaints of the G-TraX cars using the names and numbers from the actual cars they currently have in the heritage fleet? I know you would have to use stand in's for the power cars (Such as the RPO car.) and the business cars (Unless you repaint the Business car that's included in the MSTS Conversions files.) but it would be cool to be able to create a modern consist.

It's from a G-Trax model. The only one I can't begin to do is the business car. I sure wish someone with modeling skills would do that one. That would be killer.

Is there a business car in there?

Yeah, I know the MSTS Conversions models are dated. But it's the only way to get some cars and locomotives until such time that someone makes new ones. I know you will make it look the best it can Buzz. Thank You.
