Hi everyone,I've completed three repaints of Matt Harter's new PCC model so far, and have a fourth underway. The only problem with the fourth one is that it's a different type of car with the left-side door in a slightly different position. I've asked Matt if he can make me a modified version of the model to fix that, but if not, I can work with it.I've created a website for my MSTS work: http://bostonterminal.web1000.comThe site itself is not completed, but the screenshots page is up and running with pictures of my PCCs. They are each in a different paint scheme from the MBTA's history. More will follow, and each paint scheme will have two cars (with different numbers and destination signs).3255 is painted in the "Grey Ghost" livery from when the MBTA first started in the 1960s. 3189 features the first version of the Green Line livery, with the green doors. 3232, which is just a modified version of the paint scheme Matt did, is the 1990s version for Mattapan-Ashmont service. Notice that the doors were rebuilt.I've been working on the .eng files for these cars and they are just about done. The lighting is working great, and I modified the control properties so that acceleration and especially braking are more prototypical. But, before I release anything, I want to improve the .sms file as well. Going to alias as much as possible to save download size, but I might make some new sound clips if the difference would be that noticeable. Enjoy the screenshots for now.Alex StroshaneMBTA PCC Repaints – image 2
