THIS IS IT! The one u saw, was the testing cars for the Expo Line (should be opening in spring of this year i think). hopefully if u completed with the blue line P2020, and I'll get started with the Metro Blue Line Route. The stations will be easier if I'd work out with sketchup (now starting to be my fav. program).

Hey, do you have any skins for the cars by any chance?
I think I might have some skins from my OpenBVe Version of the Blue Line Extior Pack. I only have a 1990's livery (used from the day the blue line was open June 14, 1990, to somtime around 1998 I think). I've never got around to work on the moderate version of the blue line (I was busy working on my Red Line Extior Pack v3 Beta for OpenBVE, watching fandubs of my favorite show, working on my website, and ive already ate an 103 black licorice jelly beans for a straw). It maybe a one side for each texture. If u want me to work on the moderate version of the skin, then I'll do that as well

Would it be possible if you could send me over the original skin, I won't worry about the new ones yet.
Sure thing! I should tell you that some textures wont be close to the power of 2. But if u have RubyTMIX Installed, I think we would cover up some ground here. Would be easier if u can pm me the email, then I'll get the textures for u.

I must say your front 2 is quite spot on, I am using it as a reference for the lights, i was hoping for a photo contact to getting pictures from the side of the train along the main streets it runs along.
well those are the pics i can get for making the Extior pack for OpenBVE. With all the pics might help you, I think 'we' and this thread will be able to pull through.................

i used the front since it gives me the an idea of where the lights as well as the front footplate is positioned at.

Well, there are a few differences between the P865 and P2020, one of them being one lacking a rain gutter which are the P2020s. Their fleet number is from 154-168 in LACMTA's rolling stock, the P865 fleet is from 100-153 which were the ones built in 1989-90.
The construction phase I am following for each of LACMTA's rolling stock in their Metro Rail fleet is going according to the dates of their deliveries and using wikipedia as a reference,

Well, unfortunately, I din't find the sides of the 1990's livery, but I think it should cover up some ground here:

Thanks for the photos, I just been gone to get some rest, for some reason I have been tired for the past couple days, but I am okay now so I will continue work on the project.
