At their peak they had 494 box cars numbering 60900-61399 so anywhere in that sequence works for me.

I’ve also got a soft spot for the J . Nice to see such celebrated repainters in harmony.

Here's the nearly finished product. I wish there was a way to adjust the placement of the road numbers. Does anyone know if the number placements controlled within the GEO file? If so, is it possible to edit their location? I can make the interactive numbers invisible but it would be so nice to use them.

The green on your template is more prototypical than what it looks like on the finished product. I'll look into the number thing later when I get some time.

Try making the alpha darker.

Thomas Pearce guided me through adding a saturation layer to correct the colors. I think it is much better. What do you think Buzz?

Other than matching the door and door roller guides to the nicely grungisized rest of the car, I would say you have it Harry. I think that's the door texture with the "young" designation attached to it. Its a bit of a challenge to get it spot on, but with some patience you can get a match. Nice work.

Not being impatient just curious (and keen) has this been posted into the library? Have I missed it?
