I was looking for a file on an old flash drive and discovered another file I'd long forgotten I had downloaded.

The model depicts a vehicle in the Skansenu Taboru Kolejowego w Chabówce museum in Poland.

Sadly, I'm unable to locate the source for the file online and the link within the readme is also broken.

This is a wonderful addition to my equipment roster and with some imagination and editing I can enjoy using it as my vintage inspection car for running on U.S. routes.

I've been working to repaint and edit the car (including adding a driver) for my use on American rails.

Here's a few shots:

If you gave it a big toothy grin it would almost look like a Buick.

I could poke around on some Polish sites I know to see if I could find the original. I think it's still out there...

Cool! This looks very well done. I would like a copy if you ever release it.

FWIW back in the day the WP ALWAYS sent a car ahead of every train that passed thru the Feather River so your screenshots are perfect!

Kevin,

Found the website but there is no means to download the railcars. Maybe someone can decipher how to download.

LOL... so now you have to figure out how to communicate in Polish to get permission to release the re-worked model. Looks great, though.
