Two new Strasburg cars I made from K&L Trainz's hourly consist set (both are done using the Warren Benner coach as a base.) The first one is the SRC's car no. 118, the "Linn W. Moedinger". The only change other than lettering was the addition of the six-wheeled trucks found on the actual B&O car.
The second one is a car I designed, combining my three favorite things: architecture, trains, and fine cigars. This new coach, SRC 124 "Christopher Demuth" is named for the famous Lancaster, PA tobacconist and owner of Demuth Tobacco, at one point the oldest tobacco store in the United States (operating from 1770 (!!!) until 2010). The store today is part of the Demuth Museum, a gallery dedicated to the artwork of Charles Demuth, of which Christopher was an ancestor to. The design of the red stained glass with gold and black accenting comes straight from the painted glass of the Demuth Tobacco store window which can still be seen in Lancaster, PA. The car was originally a Great Northern, later Northern Pacific, wooden lounge car literally rotting away in a field in Blaisdell, ND. Restoration took 4 years and was Strasburg's most expensive car restoration to date. This is the only smoking lounge car in operation in the United States. The same six-wheel trucks from the Linn Moedinger were added and a middle frame was added to the stained glass windows to more closely mimic the Great Northern coach's construction.
Edit: When I say I designed it, I am currently designing an interior for the car, not to implement into Trainz but just as a fun thing to have designed (since I am an architecture student). The interior will be much like the Marian except with darker wood, wood floors instead of carpet (to avoid fire from misplaced cigar ashes), but a humidor with cigars will be at one end of the car along with a restroom and a well-stocked bar with high-end liquor will be at the other end. Wooden tables and leather swivel chairs will make up the seating. This car will be paired with the Marian (with the bars closest to eachother) on the hourly consist so the bars in each car can work together if necessary.
