I think they look really cool, and thought they would be really cool to see in TS. They are ex. Norfolk Southern and were sold to the RBMN in 2019. They had their first public excursion in mid-2020 and were in regular service ever since, running the OCS (Office Car Specials) and also the Fall Foliage trains.

We are on our semi annual trek from FL to Illinoistan in our camper however as soon as we get to our destination I would be happy to do these based on the DTG Model.

I have a mental image of Buzz's camper sporting a Santa Fe warbonnet livery.

Nope nothing that exciting just a vintage 25 footer interior pretty much replaced or updated.

Happy Birthday Buzz; and Thanks for all the awesome repaints. Although unrelated to the thread-topic, the one above is one of my favorites. Hope you have a good one!

Somehow I expected your camper to have flanged wheels...

Looking good. I'm looking forward to downloading these once they are posted.
Thanks Buzz for doing these.

After some discussion and remembering that these were actually made from F7s it was decided that we would switch the paint to the Feather River F7 model. This is about it. Off for beta.
