I've been seeing several forum discussions (here and elsewhere) regarding Auto-Frame cars and how we need updated models. While I guess that's true, I've been spending past six months repainting a number of older models for a variety of eras and uses and I found the cars below and decided to update them a bit. It's really wonderful that that when given a little TLC provide surprisingly good results and effects in the game.

So, I present my repainted sets of cars from two fine early MSTS modellers:

• Empty, Empty with jewel boxes, loaded, loaded with jewel boxes modles by by Brian Piotrowski and Bob Boudoin.
  
• Loaded & Empty versions (in several roads but I only repainted TTX) by Ken Martello (3DPM)

Thank you gentlemen for nice models.

I think I need to tweak the black auto-frames to better match each other and I am going to try and improve the side textures on one the sets for better clarity but otherwise I think they look pretty darned good.
