I haven't gotten permission to release these(YET!):

VIA's new "Renaissance" trains on display at Toronto Union Station these trains use the vehicles originally intended for "Nightstar" overnight service through the Channel Tunnel. The warning signs about overhead wires are not entirely redundant, as the train might run into a platform in Montreal that has 25kV power.

These are derived from the UK Mark 4 coaches. Peter D Hicks owns the MK4 original.

after looking at some photos of the cars, i think what is; is that they are too green, in otherwords they need a tad bit more blue in them (that big aqua bar)

My grandparents live near the Station in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and when I saw those cars for the first time, in real life, I thought they were so cool

From what I hear though, those cars (called the renaissance) were not thought of highly. According to wiki:

The new Renaissance cars were swiftly nicknamed déplaisance ('displeasure') by French-speaking employees and customers, due to early problems adapting the equipment for Canadian use. Doors and toilets froze in cold Atlantic Canada temperatures, resulting in delays and service interruptions.

Regardless, I'm sure they will look great when they are finished! ^^ A fine addition to any trainzers rolling stock list! :D

:wave:

Gisa ^^
p.s. btw, that coaster train looks great isaac
 
Do these coaches have a ridable interior? When is the release for these? There is nothing on the DLS but the older Budd VIA coaches with no interiors. There are Amtrak coaches with ridable interiors, the Amfleets and Horizons though. I made these coaches in Paint Shed using the TGV coach but there is no truck on the one end.
 
Yes, they have full interiors. I've yet to repaint them. I've got a VIA Rail food service car on the way as well. I'll post more pics.
