Hi All,
I've been wanting to download VIA rail's LRC set for a long time and you know the saying "if the mountain doesn't come to you...go to the mountain". So I downloaded and have just started to use gmax. The learning curve is extremely steep (I can't seem to complete any significant tutorials @@ ) and I think creating a realistic looking LRC locomotive is going to be beyond me. I might try making the passenger cars in due time but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in creating these cars/engine. I'd love to help and I know it'd be a lot of work but I think they are very unique and would be a fine addition to any North American/Canadian layout. As these cars are going into retirement, I think it's the least we owe them as they may end up with the same fate as the second picture...
I was also wondering if anyone would like to make/help make the blue/yellow/black car sets (I don't know the particular name of them). I found some pictures of them and will post them when I get permisson from the photographer...the others came from various websites such as
http://www.railfan.ca

Here are some pics of the LRC engine/cars I was hoping for:
