Pretty much a carbon copy of my first foray with the 4-4-0, but think I got the hang of it now. Plus I also whipped up some lighter older CN coaches. They're repaints of the Pentacosta ones, and I can upload here if anyone is interested? I warn you now, they're pretty 'lo-fi'. :D

Hmmm, isn't that similar to Casey Jones' locomotive? :D Some of those early bar-framed locos looked a tad skeletal underneath. The cars look just fine and dandy....upload'em by all means.

Cheers Bazza

Funny you should mention that. As I have the Marklin 'Casey Jones' Z Scale set, which is really nice. And it was the old cars on that which got me looking for something similar I could do for CN. Hunting around the sites, I found the perfect ones. Downloaded, and got to repainting right away. Fair bit of work, but not looking bad. Even made a special car with authentic CN 'cream and gold' interior. All ready to lash them up to the Chile Bill, and noticed 'NG' on them - nice going? No good? Oh no - narrow gauge? Turned those puppies upside down in S View,, and sure enough! ;)

So you gents get the best of both worlds here. My good old standard gauge rust buckets AND these otherwise fictitious CNn's I guess you could call them? They might still be fun on someones route, or fantasy something? ;)

There are standard gauge versions of the Overland coach on the other site. I believe they're by John Fowlis.

Kinda jumped the gun with all this video making. Found them Dustin, and thanks! ;) Reworked the crazy narrow gauge onto them and seems to work like a charm. Will be in the library here shortly. ;)
