Hi Steven.
I knew it
. We have a long history with The Pacific Electric, don't we. Must be ten to fifteen years ago. How the Time flies .It certainly depends of the work involved. I wouldn't want you to spend many hours doing it, but then again, if you feel up for it, I would love to see one, trolley poles or not
.Do you take on commissions
.Best regards Claus
It sure does fly, whether you're having fun or not! The 'ol P.E. critter is still there, along with Tim Muir's superb products. 'll check out reskinning for P.E. In the meantime, you've set off a brainstorm or two for some other ideas. No commissions necessary, Claus, all for the love of the game.
Best,

Sorry about the brainstorm, long time since I had one of those
.I still have all of Tim's PE equipment for use in Openrail. A pity running it in OR, since it all looked much better in the sweet ambient light of the old MSTS.
I just took a few screenies of the old PE critters in OR, just to jog your memory about the colours
.
Regards Claus
Thanks very much Smyers. You've done a great job with the weathered skin and it really fits right in to the feel of the route. Thanks again.
Cheers,
Piere.
G'day All,
Various shots from around my latest purchase; FiredUpTrainz's lovely Strasburg route.

Wow Claus, look at the 'ol critter!! Not too bad for the time, eh? I'll bet much of what we're seeing in those shots was made by Tim. He could sure crank out the stuff with amazing quality. Guess I'll have to give it a try, trolley poles or not. Many thanks, Claus.

IMO, the critter still looks very nice. But nothing beats the 4:3 aspect ratio in the old MSTS, when viewing these old models. They all looked so sweet and romantic in the MSTS light.
I think, Tim made/created pretty much everything you see in those scenes, Just think about having it available in Trainz
. That would indeed be something. Trolley poles or not, I just found something at The Train forge, got it for a Fiver... Great looking models
.
Do You recognize the location
.Best regards Claus

Great shots, Claus. The old route looks OK, eh? That GE is a nice one, a better choice for a P.E. diesel. I sure wish they'd make the 70 tonner. Did they really paint a stripe over the windows like that? One issue I've found with the Control Point model would be painting the P.E. zebra stripes on the pilot. The pilot seems to be made of several sperate parts, each with it's own texture. Getting them all together would be nearly impossible for a reskinner, it seems. The red P.E. should be easier, as there were no zebra stripes. But I've got a few other ideas that might work. The 45 tonner is really a great model, especially for the cost!

PS and great pics from Piere of Strasburg. Sure would like to be there now, as it's already 43C here!

Nice ones, Claus. I wonder if we can remove the Minnesota emblem from the cylinders. It would be easier to freelance if not there.
Some of the Trainz Forge early diesels work really well on the tight curves. This is the whitepass SC 600 relettered for B&M..
The largest steam engine I've used is the K&L CN O18.

RNCR train 1M4 speeds south on BN Oasis. All 3 of this freelance railway's major paint schemes are represented in the lashup, from oldest to newest. All 3 schemes are callbacks to predecessor railroads of the RNCR. The "earth blue" dip job was used from 1968-1996, the vintage purple scheme from 96 til 2015, with the red/white from 2015 onwards.
Amtrak "The Shoreliner" pulling in on time into Eastport on Track 3.
A view from the River Line heading towards Hull Lower-Level track 2. This Willows Point commuter train has barely started its 40-minute trip to Willows Point from Eastport a few minutes prior. This once very popular express is only a regular commuter train now.
