Good to hear. I have a railroad that is uses those cars in real life, but in trainz the road uses clerestory cars.
Are those HiAd trucks?

Pineapple approved!
Old school high ads, aka...eh can't remember what they're called. Dave hasn't found a proper bogie to swap those with yet.

They look like EMD flex coils to me.

Yeah, it's Broad Gauge, they where designed to work Steel between NSW/Vic and exchange bogies at Albury, however this never happened, instead they would unload the NSW stock and re-load to Vic stock at Albury then run them to Long Island in Mornington.
Start of another unique modern wagon, I salvaged parts from the ESX for this one, only 9 of these and they are dedicated Broad Gauge stock, number 4 was K.T. traffic only Westall - Bairnsdale
all those boxes are for boolean cutting if anyone asks, pink ones are part of the container brackets base, purple are measuring boxes.
Cheers.

Much better. Now that I see that my effort was not in vain, I'll be exiting, shutting down the computer, and hitting the sack. I got four hours of sleep last night, so there is a big DO NOT DISTURB sign on my bedroom door tonight.

Looks great Dave! Also, must say I love the texture work on the fuel tank.
LOL! LOL! Although I don't normally use photo textures on my models (I usually create everything in Photoshop or Illustrator) I couldn't get the fuel tanks to look quite right.... and I had a really good picture of the fuel tanks... so I used the photograph and did my 3-D extrudes in G-max. It did come out looking good, if I do say so myself. And I do.
Sorry I cheated. (no I ain't).
Cheers!

There's an old saying I know:
Ain't ain't a word and I ain't gonna say it!
. . . And I ain't gonna stop saying ain't!
G'day davesnow,

...since when has using photo-realistic textures been "cheating," Dave? As far as I am concerned, in order to obtain a realistic appearance in our models, it is the only 'solution'...

Hey Dave, it is not cheating (I know you did not mean it) to use photo textures, sometimes it is the only way to get what one wants/needs. From some of my created locomotives and created bogies, where I used photo textures. I was lucky I took my own pictures as I knew what I wanted:
Just click the thumbnails to get the bigger picture.
some more:
Check the welding on that air tank on bottom right, it came out very well with the normal map. As one can see, photo texturing is OK if done correctly and one can produce one's own normal maps from these photos. I do so all the time.
If you are looking for some bogies, check these by me created Dash 9 bogies (on the bottom picture in the middle) which were imported into Australia and modified here for these huge coal train locomotives in Queensland and New South Wales in Australia. They are on the DLS.

Still have to adjust the banner on the sides. But other than those. The tenders done. Now onto the engine.
