Yep, I visit Steam Era Freight Cars quite often, at least once a day. You say Ted Calutta's old site - is it not being updated? Sure hope it doesn't go down, as I get alot of info from there.
Thanks, Tony. it's coming along. I noticed I forgot to add the roof grab-irons on the corners, so that's about it for the 3D aspect of the model. Now for the texturing.....

Hmm....some very useful books there, Dave, albeit a bit pricey.
Well, I've been phiddle-pharting all morning with the weathering. Here's my first successful try (first two didn't turn out so well).

Thanks, guys. :wacko: I'm working on another car number with the patch-panels along the bottom.
Dave, I'm working in layers this time :rolleyes:, so the weathering is separate as are the lettering and numbers, logo, grafitti, and background layers. The source file is a .PSP file which I save a copy as a .tga for conversion to .ace. I have all the .PSP files with layers intact for all the various USRA single sheathed cars, and will have for every car I produce from now on, so if you (or anyone) want any of these files, just say the word. :D

Hello Tim
I have a nice PRR Decapod that runs on the LPS. It would like to test those boxcars I'm sure. :wacko:

I'll see what I can do about that. I've been running the Deck on the L&PS too.

Wow!!
I've tried to limit my routes (northeast) and eras (1960's) to keep my collection from getting too large, but everytime I look at Campbell's L&PS and Tim Muir's models, I'm thinking NEW COMPUTER!
:D :D :wacko: :rolleyes:
