I have been working on modeling the railroad I research, the Mississippi River & Bonne Terre Railroad, soon I will be uploading some work in progress shots, until then I will still be working on the route.
Soon on our website we will have a page dedicated to modeling the Mississippi River and Bonne Terre, or later Missouri- illinois, in Trainz 2009. It Will Have Work in Progress shots and info on the route on the page.
Is it possible someone can paint me some engines for the route
Here is a Missouri-illinios 4-4-0, although later than the route's timeframe,but they look the same. MR&BTand the M-I operated as two seperate railroads in the early 20's before merging with Missouri Pacific, then resulting in the M-I repainting several Mopac engines to say Missouri- Illinois. And resulting in the line from derby Jct. to Doe Run being torn out.
I know it is hard to work with black and white. From what we have learned is the boilers were green, in a way like southern but a little darker. There is not a lot of information on engines and cars. If there is sombody out there that can help please contact me.
