Dave,
If I had taken the shots on the GN Hi Line, the sky would be Big Sky Blue. ;)
Unfortunately, with my current computer memory issues, these shots were taken on CR Indy with no 'sky' and limited world objects/textures. The brown sky is more appropriate for central Ohio, though! :p
As far as availability, Gaetan returns from vacation next week and I have loaded him up with detail requests from winterization hatches on the F-7 to the 'tail light' on the obs, with numerous changes in between. He might even be doing custom interiors as well. For sure, we are looking at re-doing the 'ranch' car and the dome interiors.
That could take some time.
It will be released by BLW/ZosaTrains @ $9.99 with the following consist:
GN F-7A #363C
GN F-7B #281B
GN F-7B #365B
GN F-7A #270A
Storage Mail GN #272
RPO-Storage mail GN #42
Baggage - REA GN #274
Baggage-Dormitory GN #1201
60-seat coach GN #1210
46-seat dome coach GN #1324
46-seat dome coach SP&S #1332
46-seat dome coach CB&Q #1334
Ranch (Cafe - Grill) GN #1245 Whitefish Lake
4-7-3-1 Sleeper GN #1262 Snohomish River
4-7-3-1 Sleeper GN #1274 Bois De Sioux River
6-5-2 Sleeper GN #1380 Suiattle Pass
36-seat diner GN #1254 Lake Minnetonka
Great Dome Lounge GN #1392 Mountain View
4-7-3-1 Sleeper GN #1264 Bad Axe River
6-5-2 Sleeper GN #1375 Jefferson Pass

Sold!
I forgot to nag y'all to make an additional Lake-series car. Naturally, it'd be Lake Wobegon. ;) Could y'all be convinced to crank out the North Coast Limited?

I've got to tell you, Rick, my biases notwithstanding, the GN's postwar passenger trains were probably the best-looking of all of them in the US. You've done real justice to it... -Phil

Hello Rick
You never told Me if You got the RPO I metioned? Could You get a set of mail bag hooks added to it ?
Cheers Tony ;)

Tony,
That's Gaetan's department ;)
He was busy getting his CP set out, then he went on vacation. I don't know where he is with the GN stuff.
