Put this skin together this afternoon of Larry Goss's new 40ft boxcar model from a photo Jake Mensel provided me with. This is low-quailty jpeg of it in shape viewer, looks much better in game. Should be in the file library later this week. Coming soon is a NYGL boxcar with ALAB markings and another NW boxcar.

RE: NW 40ft MofW boxcar

Excellent job, Kyle! I wish more of us would use Larry's new model for repaints.Question: Is the brakewheel on the side of the car painted on or did Larry make that part for you? I have several photos of cars with the brake wheel located there but really hate to show it as painted. Maybe if Larry is listening, he can whip up a clone of his new model with that wheel in 3D.I'd do it but since Larry works in GMAX and I work in TSM...never the twain shall meet.Bill Cline

That wheel is painted on. It's actually used to open the door rather than for the brakes.

RE: NW 40ft MofW boxcar

The Wheel rides on that middle rail, as you turn it, it spins the gears making the door open, and the wheel moves along with the door.
