    For the rivet counters... More rivets!

    While creating new heavyweight passenger rolling stock for the upcoming BLW/ZT "Conn River Passenger Pack", I took a good hard look at the existing cars, and, armed with detailed photos from the Valley Railroad, I've upgraded existing stock textures as well. First up, the four 10 section, 1 drawing room, 2 compartment (10-1-2) sleepers originally offered as a bonus to the BLW/ZT Monon 2 set: Fort Canby, Camp Meigs, Sir Henry W Thornton and Camp Dix. Screenshot taken at French Lick, Indiana on Rick Berg's Monon 2 route.

    These cars will be reissued as a bonus to customers that purchase(d) the BLW/ZT Monon 2 set. I will announce availability soon.

      Hi Rick,

      Looks good.

      What cars are you making for the CT River?

      I've got schematics for the 1922 B&M Osgood Bradley's - four-wheel trucks.

      I've looked for the "American Flyers" but I haven't found any really good drawings. I'm guessing you may have the source for the old freeware coaches in the lib.

      Looking forward to seeing what you can do.

      1922 B&M Osgood Bradley (started):


      Regards,
      Scott

        Hey Scott,

        Those look really nice! They'll make a great addition to the rolling stock available for Paul Charland's Conn River.

        My target for the Conn River Passenger pack is 1955-1960. The HW Pullman sleepers that I have completed so far include the last 10 rostered by B&M (all scrapped in the early 1960s). In addition, I'm using sources from the B&M, CV and New Haven historical societies for engineering drawings and actual consists (including conductors logs). It's a fun project! I've also been working on the streamlined sleepers from the New Haven, B&M and CN,

        I haven't gotten to coaches yet, but I do have both New Haven and B&M Osgood Bradley cars on my list, mostly the 'American Flyer' cars that would have been found on the Montrealer/Washingtonian, etc. I have drawings from the NHRHTA, plus the models that Phil Moberg created on trainsim.com.
