oo a nice surprise after getting back from a vacation ^_^

Ooooh, Viewliner!

I remember reading about these in Trains Magazine when they were first introduced--they've got some quite fantastic construction relative to other "normal" railroad cars

And I have a video showing how they were made.

Corey: You're just like me. Free school content.

Francis: Gmax is still free on turbosquid. Just sign up and download.

Yea, i always though payware was cheap... The viewliners are really nice, i see them every day on the lake shore limited. Some have the phase IVB paint as well.

Update!

Hi all, Heres the latest update from the virtual beech grove shops..

The viewliner body and corrugations have been added, as well as gaskets and windows. Doors have been installed. I am now working on adding the end details and finishing the shells texture. I will post a screenshot as soon as the body is done.

[Isaacg]

Oh my goodness Jeff....(Corey I mean... I'm loosing it already). My Backspace key doesn't work at the moment. So I'm typing very carefully at the moment. After a weekend in the BIG "O" (Orlando), I've been busy. I got a video capture of a Silver service train passing the LYNX bus station. So, If you need a ring(I doubt it though, as you have everything), I'm here to help.

[VirtualBeechGrove]

Alright, thanks Isaac. I think my favorite part about this car will be the interior view, i mean who doesn't want to ride in a viewliner??

Corey

 

[Gandalf0444]

Thats a very good question

 

[motorbridge]

ME!!!!!!!!!

Jus playin i do want to ride in one though i did however ride in the super cool amfleets!

 

[sams49]

Corey This seems like it might be your best work yet!!!

 

[kmothersil]

The interior would be great even though sadly I've never riden in a viewliner before or any of the Silver service trains only the Auto train. With an interior I would probably get a good idea of how viewliners are.

 

[VirtualBeechGrove]

I don't know Sam, it could possibly be. Keep an eye out for updates. Also, i hope to do the prototype viewliner diner.

I've ridden in Viewliners several times (from B'ham: New Orleans & back 2x, Atlanta & back, DC & back, Philly & back, AND Newark & back).

Nice job Corey. How many dependencies will it require? I guess I'll have to wait and see.
