    I went ahead and expanded the Santa Fe boxcar set to five. This set replaces the one I posted previously.
     
    Here are images of the two additions.

    I got side tracked again. I had these images from a small line so I went ahead and made a set. I think the B & M mainly opperates in Maine.

    I don't think I got them all from one link. It's been so long ago I'm not sure where they came from now. Boston & Maine is the name. For some reason I was thinking I seen it as something else but doing a search shows Boston & Maine.
     
     
    This link does have an image of a model. It might even be one I had from before.

    I guess I'm not following, if you are refering to the missing download, that was an error.

    No, Trolca, I was actually requesting that YOU make a few passenger trains. I've already got some of your great freight trains, and the X2000 is going to be deleted from my system.

    Hence the signature:

    I just want to start by saying that the time and energy you have spent on designing these train cars/engines is truly exceptional. I

    Thanks for your comments. I know I should document my work better as well as the Train Mods in the Mod download section. I'm a little lazy in that area. I'll see what I can do this weekend. I have thought about another way to help prevent conflicts. I have a Excel spreedsheet with Road Names for columns and ID numbers for rows. It'd just be a matter of looking for multiple engines/cars in the same row to see a conflict. I'll put together an updated River Haven set. Other sets would include Long Island and Name Brands.

    I sent the River Haven and Long Island sets to be made availible by a moderator.
     
    I updated the basic look of the freight engine. I thought I'd post it as is to see if anyone would want to attempt to paint/colorize it.

    I could post plain cars and other plain engines if there's a demand.

    Here's the same engine from my previous post with some minor corrections. I would of just edited the old post but I can't seem to change attachments.

    This one should be easier to work with for anyone that wants to attempt to paint/colorize it.

    I took a look at the Train Mod package on the Mods download page. There are two CP Rail sets instead of one. I opened them and found that there are duplicate freight engines. This shouldn't cause any game problems. There's just might be more mod files than needed in your plugin folder.
     
    Example:
    RHFEnigneCPR1209_10AA00 and RHFEnigneCPR1209_10AA00 are the same engine with the same ID. Duplicates are easy to spot because the only difference in the names are the extra zeros on the end.
     
    I sent in a corrected CP Rail set so it should be solved soon.
     
    Attached to this post is an Excel spreedsheet with all the post Rush Hour train mods. To look for conflicts just look at any row. More than one car with the same ID shouldn't both be used at the same time.
     
    In many cases the ID numbers in the file names wont have the same number of digits as listed on the spreedsheet. This is because on the file names I dropped zeros off the end. The IDs are taken from the Instance numbers which always have eight digits.
     
    Example:
    RHCabCPR2743_10A810.dat would be listed as 10A81000 on the spreedsheet.
     
    I hope this helps instead causing more confussion.

    Great job with the locomotive, especially the 1931 on the train.

    Here's my attempt at a yellow CSX engine.

    I feel that it's lacking something but I'm not sure what.

    I think it's fine, but you might want to play around with different colors on the engine.
