Looking for some coaches for New York Central Empire State Express passenger train

[ChugLifeBoy]

Hey, everyone! During the summer, I got the Empire State Express Hudson from Paulz Trainz and I wanted to find some coaches to go with the locomotive! I'm not good at reskinning so I figured it would be easier to get some ESE coaches from a free website. If anyone knows where to find some of these coaches, let me know! I'd greatly appreciate any help I can get because the Empire State Express is one of my favorite passenger trains!

The BUDD cars we have on the DLS are very old.
If there are newer builds ( that can be reskinned, the old cars can't)
then we could look at them for a reskin project.

I made some of them, with PBR and on DLS.

Oh that's great ! Are they newer trainz versions using the trainzmesh format, @whitepass, and can the albedos and normals be edited?
If so, and you allow reskins, I'll have a look and see if I can find good reference photos for the special cars the Hudson ran with.

I will be sure to keep an eye out for them! Did you include Empire State Express in the names of the coaches, by any chance?

There are two consists for this train, @ChugLifeBoy, made up of 3 car types:

• Buffet
• Coach (2)
• Sleeper (drawing room car)

This project is much more involved than I anticipated, LOL.
Would require a bit of research to find all of these railcar types, (reference photos) and see if @whitepass's coaches could be used to make them all.
As far as I can see there are only a very few already skinned up.

I know there are some NYC pass cars from Trainz Forge that look similar to Empire State Express Cars minus an end car.

Wait are you guys talking about that of the silver fluted cars or heavyweights?
