Confusion about heavyweight cars – image 1

Ok, I been planning for sometime to paint some heavyweights in FBL orange, but now that I'm ready, I'm a bit lost.. In one of the ohio rail rolling stock packages, theres a set of nice heavyweights that have inside views and all that, but in the library theres a set of heavyweights by enocell, but they don't have a inside view, are these the same models? just how many heavyweight cars are there floating around?Confusion about heavyweight cars – image 2

Hi,I don't believe that there are any others with an inside view. But you can use the views of the Ohio Heavyweights, if you like. Proper credit is required of course.
And repaint of the Ohio Rail cars is allowed, but you need to let Dick Cowen approve your repaints. In the readme, you can find his e-mail address. Just send him your repaints and ask.
From my experience, I know, he is a very kind man. Dick van den HovenConfusion about heavyweight cars – image 6
