[jefff944]

I'm still waiting for those Metroliners....when..when....when??

[ilovetrainz_UP]

Drool.....drool......drool......GREAT CARS!!!!!

[Dermmy]

Hey - they look great Corey :)

[rayonier]

keep up the good work

[jefff944]

As i have been busy with school, im working on a bit of everything, so progress is slowly but surely, id like to add that west coasters have something for them from this pack as well, the ex highlevel cars will be included eventually, ill try and get some of the cars not requiring scripting done over the weekend, if everything works well that is.

The west coasters will be getting a freeware mega pack. Old Amtrak Geek Zone projects that had to do with the west coast will be continued when I finish the Surfliner Route from Los Angeles Union-Ventura. There will be more information and pics on the route over winter break.

nice :P

[jefff944]

Hi all, if you have been wondering if this died, no it hasnt :), i've been working on trying to get a few of my projects done for release, For this package, i've rebuilt my St Louis Baggage car (formerly a hospital car) and have added a bunch of cool things to the texture aka chipping paint, the welding scars from the door and a few water stains. I have also been working on rebuilding my original CBQ diner as i felt it could be alot more accurate.

Enjoy the pics and more info to come!

[jefff944]

And of course, the 8501-8503-8510 Diner :)

With a full interior too!

[jefff944]

This is my rebuilt vermonter baggage car, shes only 4k of polys, roughly 5 of these equals a typical passenger car, i think it looks alot more realistic and flexible from my previous version.

[Majinvegeta]

holy moly ! :eek: i cant wait for these cars to come out

[crman123]

These cars look really great. So you rebuilt your Vermonter, eh? Nice. I'm glad they're low on polys now, not that it was a problem for me ;)

Good work Corey!

[leader2302]

These beauties are defintely on my Christmas list!

[jefff944]

yep, im aiming for a christmas release.

Corey

[Jimmyp4]

Is this for 04 or 06. If 04 and 06, yeah! If 06 I think I may be a little upset.

[mp5a4]

Awesome!:D :D :cool:

[jefff944]

Im aiming for 2004 and 2006, i have the config set up for 2004.

Corey

[lapuce]

Love those Amtrak cars.... Never too much Amtrak stuff;)

[drewman]

Dam good Job, i can't wait, it makes me want to build a "what-if" route with Amtrak trains as the main user.

[jefff944]

Now heres a classic car that was most commonly on the very back of the train, it was used as a place for off duty crews to sleep, shower or just hang out, there was also baggage space. On the lake shore limited, the Baggage Dorm was used to handle New York Bound passenger's baggage, where as the full baggage car went to boston.

Heres a screenie, still needs a few vents and underbody equipment, but is fairly done!

These look absoultely awsome. They bring back memories of sitting at Princeton Junction in the early 90's watching E60s pulling the Silver Service trains and the all heritage Broadway Limited. This is the most anticipated release in my book. Keep up the great work. :D:D

Kevin

[jefff944]

Hey kevin, do you have any photos or anything? if your interested in talking with me IM me :)

Corey

[K4driver]

are theese available anywhere

[crman123]

@LVman

I'm pretty sure he has one somewhere, however I don't think its being worked on at the moment. There is interest in such a thing, and probably when all these other cars are finished it will be worked on. :)

[PerRock]

hey, can i make one request?
Back in the 50's and 60's ATSF had odd looking cars that allowed the train to step up from a single level passenger car to a double level car like a superliner.
do you think you can make any?


there has been one in the talks. please make your request at our forums.

peter

[jefff944]

i wont work on one of those until my amtrak stuff is done, than im going to do the ATSF El Capitan set. Including Coaches both step up and standard, a lounge and diners, plus Baggage Dorms with the additional roof.

Corey

[wok3002]

Hey kevin, do you have any photos or anything? if your interested in talking with me IM me :)

Corey

I most likely do somewhere. I'll just need to dig them out of storage. Sure is a shame Amtrak got rid of most of the heritage fleet. Especially the baggage dorms and clocker coaches.

Happy Holidays,
Kevin

[jefff944]

Yea, i've heard stories about the Bagggage Dorms and such, just wish i could have rode the auto train back when she was all heritage.

Corey

[ilovetrainz_UP]

I would've enjoyed riding any retired (or soon to be retired) car before, and maybe even the F7 Santa Fe warbonnets, those are classic...my dad used to ride them...

[jefff944]

All she needs is alpha numbering and passengers, i've done both successfully so this oen will probobly be the first of the Set released.

Corey

[ilovetrainz_UP]

Great, happy to hear the first of your fleet package is here!

[crman123]

Jefff944 asked me to demo his new Amtrak Heritage Diner, part of this Heritage package. This car is still in Beta and will probably be finished real soon.

This picture is showing off the Custom trucks he made for this car...

This one is a side profile of this beautiful new car. This one will ride the rails very soon. :)

P.S. Also nobody ask about the Viewliner...it will see the rails at a later date. Good looking car Corey!

thats better

[tyard]

do you make cars to have opening doors, thusly beeing passenger enabled? Sweet work by the way, and I'm not even that big f a fan of those kinds of cars, but the way those work makes me want them!!!:D:D

[jefff944]

thats better

Oh my hero :)

[Floridarailmaster]

I think you guys should keep this thread to the topic, and take any unnesasary posts to private messeges before this thread gets deleted or corrected.

[motorbridge]

Wow if I didn't know better i would say that was the real thing. Great work jefff944!!

[jefff944]

Thanks! i try my best :)

Corey

[msdejesus]

Thanks! i try my best :)
Corey

Well, your best is just as good as it gets, congratulations!

Thank you very much for your generous effort.

Manuel.

[Screamingman14]

Dude! That's Awsome! although one question, why are the windows solid black? Do the cars have interiors? Are the prototype's like that?

[jefff944]

The windows are 85 percent opaque, they are like that in real life and at night in trainz the light from the interior shines through, just like the prototype would.

Corey

[Blutorse4792]

Hey Corey, did you call off the project?
If you had to put it on the back burner, I understand.
I hope it's not gone, though :eek:

[jefff944]

No, im just busy with school and am kind of taking a break from it all.:sleep:

[Screamingman14]

Corey, did you get the reply on the AGZ website about the SP2 help? I think that I figured this out (but I haven't done any of it yet). the doors and animations have to be a seperate file and attachment points need to be utilized for attaching them.

[gisa]

I've come across this thread a bit late, but I just wanted to say that I think these look great and I hope that they'll be released soon. :)

:wave:

Gisa ^^

[daylightlimited]

I kinda agree there, I would love to finish that one winter layout I was making before summer too, some things just wont hapen though...

PS:It's snowing here:D

[strench707]

deleted......

[freightcar2]

Has the project been cancelled?

[traincrazy0918]

im guessing like most others,the file was lost or he would like to redo them,anyways they look beautiful,and i cant wait until they are re-released or if they ever are. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!:D:wave:

[Blutorse4792]

Knowing Corey, I don't think he browses through his ancient threads waiting for somebody to re-spark his interest in an old project :o

If he wants to restart the project, he'll announce it :wave:
