(WIP) Metra Budd Bi-Level cars for trainz

[Klinger]

@kilinger Good work. Looks very good. I could help you if you want. I like metra a lot and other IL RRoads.

I did a little looking, and that cab shot came up under the Amtrak Surfliner cars, not Metra. Although I have not yet found a cab shot from the modern Metra cars.

Anyway, the big thing I need that I can't do myself is Trucks. I can build and Skin Cars to some extent, but I can't build trucks very well. As far as I can tell, all Metra cars (minus the new Electric district cars) share a common truck design.

Also need some E unit trucks for my Crandall Cab E-9, I can't find a decent set of trucks for it. They are just standard E unit trucks, nothing special.

And also, if there is anything you need, Give me a shout, I'll see what I can do.

@mikey186 cool video. What train is it???

@kilinger Yes, truck modelling isnt easy. I could make something if i can have a spec drawing of the bogeys.

http://forums.auran.com/trainz/member.php?u=78621@H222 There are not the same but they uses the same bogeys (I think). Your photo has convinced me to make these cars.

@Euphod Very good pics. I like these oldy cabs. Not the newest with all digital. I think that a cab like these will have much polys but will looks good.
