Oh my gosh, you have combined my favourite thing, trains with my favourite painter/ TV host, Bob Ross, on the side it only needs to say "No Mistakes, Just Happy Accidents." This is my favourite chop nose to date, I love Bob Ross and Trains. I know I am not supposed to quote pics, but this one was so good I had to.

TVRM Carriages
After returning from my trip behind 4501 at TVRM I have finally finished my versions of my favourite carriages at TVRM. Several have been in the works, but not ready to be shown for a while. Please excuse the background lacking texture and colour, and the fact that this is a route set in California, not SOU country. All the carriages are in TVRM's darker red paint of the 1970s and 1980s after the roves went back to black (after the weird stint in silver).
First up, the 1000, an ex-Southern Railway 80-seat clerestory heavyweight rebuilt as a turtle back roof with 2 lounges. A 3 window smoking (at the front) and 2 window at the rear. Both include a washroom cubicle, so the 3 window lounge has 4, and the 2 window has 3 windows total.
Next is TVRM's classic Pullman #97, the "Clover Colony" built in 1927.
And finally, my favourite carriage at TVRM, and the most elegant, ex-B&O #98 the "Eden Isle" of 1917.
Originally built as a Pullman, the 98 was likely rebuilt to a business car around 1936 with 3 bedrooms (A&B share a bath, and then C has a Murphy bed for the secretary.) After being wrecked in 1966 (the rear truck detached and is only held on by the carriage's weight/gravity.) She was retired and sold to an individual who later donated her to TVRM, where she was given the name "Eden Isle". Her red mars light is currently broken so her historic kerosene marker lamps are in use.
Enjoy,
Saturnr

I thought of you when I posted the pictures and I hoped you would enjoy them.

Now that I look at it, I believe there could be a problem if you release these cars to the public, as I'm pretty certain that if you release them, you won't be able to release Eden Isle. I came to this conclusion as it looks like the observation car included in K&L Trainz's Frisco #1522 pack, and I believe that they allow reskins of their content only for private use. Either someone can make a version of Eden Isle that can be released to the public, or you'll have to coerce stevelerrro into allowing you to release it. I have neither the skills, the patience, nor the resources needed to make an accurate model of Eden Isle.

The 98 "Eden Isle" is indeed from K&L's SLSF Tail Carriage. Though this is a 1940s era, it is the only arch roof heavyweight I know of that is in Trainz and has some realism. The 1000 is also from K&L's Chessie Safety Special from 614. The 97 "Clover Colony" is from a whitepass Pullman. Sadly I will not be able to release the 1000 or 98 unless I get special permission from K&L (which has about as much chance as the real 98 being free to ride in). Maybe it could go on the K&L freeware page since it is not a perfect reskin, if K&L likes it enough and approves it.
