The Wilmington & Western cars are a bit to blue. They need to be lightened up some. I say this because a buddy of mine used to volunteer there and has a bunch of photographs.

Am I the one that has been negotiated within this surprise?We also got another surprise coming soon but until we can get confirmation, It will have to be a secret for now.
Yup, I like them.Matt3985 (via PM) said:you like them?
Well, most of them.
I agree.
Most of the cars look like they just had a fresh paint job, so for daily use they look a bit too clean but for a museum that might just be fitting
.Thanks for the Advice there Oknotsen at least you know how to provide more positive and polite constructive criticism than some people do not have on here. As for your suggestion, for that we are working on fixing that problem after you mention it. Trainboi1 has been helping out extensively to make the coaches better. We are working on some coaches for the Milwaukee Road for my DEM guy (who has been a major asset of my ever expanding team of contributors to my project) and the Coach Collection at the Kentucky Railway Museum for Generalman (Who has the honer of being the first one to take interest in my project and to become the first one to offer his help to be apart of my Beta test team) as well as a bunch of other coaches planned from the East and West Coast. some examples are
D&RGW, IC, C&NW, SP, UP, WP, SOU, ACL, SCL, T&P, MKT, SLSF, B&M, B&A, D&H, CGW, NP, GN, SP&S, Cotton Belt, A&WP, S&A, FEC, T&NO..... Thats just to name a few of the Fallen Flag railroads we plan on doing.... But don't think its all going to be just USA.... We also plan on doing Canadian Railroads, and some schemes from Railroads in Mexico. Me and my all star passenger car re-skiner (ChickenJoe) have been working overtime on research and design for these schemes and info of when these coaches had them if they had multiple schemes. Same goes for the Tourist Railroad coaches.
Now for my route, Ive made some slow progress but due to waiting for my DEM guy to finish the big surprise final plan that I have for the mainline but in the meantime I done some basic scenery work but I will be posting shots tomorrow.

Hello everyone, just want to to give everyone a bit of an update that the DEM for my route has reach the 50% completion so hopefully before this month is out I hope will be able to post a screenshot or two of the whole DEM when its finished, until then Im holding off on screenshots until then of this project, We are hoping to start our own site one day to host not only this route but for our coach packs as well and anything else me and my team are coming up with. Note to Beta testers, If you would like to become a part of my team itself and host content on our site, we will be officially supporting versions TS2004 to TANE and beyond (Whatever comes after TANE). We still have not yet come up with a name for our site but we hope to come up with one soon. We should have some more screenshots of progress soon when the DEM is completely finish. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me either by PM or by Skype (where I tend to do more frequent updates on Skype).
Attention to all my beta testers. Im sending out certain coaches for people to test out before our big christmas release thats coming up. If the coaches work well I will be sending everyone (On my Beta test team) the big coach pack to test out once we finish work on the rest of the Milwaukee Road and Ohio Central Coaches are finished. Please content me by PM or Skype if you have any problems or spot anything wrong on them. Plus for those who are part of my beta test team are welcome to host their content on our site since we will be running a similar style site like TPR, we will mostly be hosting stuff from the days of the Fall Flags still ran in the Steam Era all the way up to Early Amtrak, so if you got any content and are looking for a place to host your content, please let me know.
Plus there are two ways to become a beta tester for us.
#1 is that if you have a big interest in the project (and must not only be there for just the content) and have plans or ideas for us to do or any information that could prove useful for us, we will add you to our beta test team.
Or
#2 if you are a content creator and want to create some custom content for us (especially for our IRM route project) then we will automatically added you as not only as a beta tester but as a member of the route project team.

Oh I almost forgot. For those who have been wondering if I stop working on my route, Ive haven't in fact Ive got some basic work done on it like adding basic scenery items like Trees and platforms. Now if anyone who is willing to help out build some structures for me would surely help me out to get some more scenery down. I can only do so much with what I can. Hopefully Bendorsey will accept my offer for the bridges and museum structures if not then anyone can help out with scenery.
One bit of of a spoiler for the whole route. it will be exactly 68 miles long (Geographically in straight line) when finished.

Good news everyone, Bendorsey has agreed to help us out with the structures and most important bridges on my route. So with him on board I can take another step towards completing our project.
He original ment to post this here but got confused with another forum topic so here is what he meant to say here
