Not a bad looking boxcar if they made it....One for sure could use it for the ELS route.....Wonder if it will be on their site under the boxcars thing

Having dug around both JR and RRmods and having no luck in either place, I'll have to go off the model. Judging from the coupler, hoses, and trucks, it's a JR 50' 6" boxcar, which someone has photo textured (and done a very respectable photo texture job at that) as an ELS boxcar. So you'll have to track down the individual reskinner if this skin is available at all.

I'm pretty happy with this so far, I know the blue is off and the fonts aren't perfect, but it's a fictional unit. I kind of like this shade better than the actual shade and it isn't that far off. Now to just brighten that bell up...

Blue isn't horribly off, overall I like it. Nice skin.

Thanks, the blue is actually pretty off, depending on how you look at it.

I was going for a cross between all four of those, as you can see, there are major differences. I stuck with the darker shade of blue as more of the shots have that darker color, but I wanted to keep it more blue than black. I ended up going with more of a C&O blue than the N&W Pevler Blue. I am probably going to keep this shade of blue because I really like it, now for the part that will destroy that blue: Road Grime. N&W's Pevler Blue units seemed to attract road grime quicker than those old white SOO Line units.

And I would have to agree. Great job on those hoppers!

That's a nice hopper, along with the SP ones. I really like black hoppers for some reason.
