It might be just me being blind, but I haven't been able to find a 60-foot Tropicana Reefer anywhere? Just various 50-feet based on Larry Goss' model, and an 85-foot variety by Ted Curphey. Is anyone up to doing a 60-foot Tropicana Reefer?

You mean like this?

The first of the Tropicana reefers rolls out of the paintbooth for inspection. There are 3 different styles of Trop cars that I'll be doing for this upcoming set. More pics as more cars get near the finishing stages.

Rolled out of the paint shop with that much graffiti? Who is in there doing your painting, street artists? :-) Nice Work.

Okay, maybe not the best choice of description. :D We'll just say it's one of those decal overlays like they use to do the NASCAR cars, make it look tagged already so the taggers won't touch it. :p

Here's the second in the set, the "newer" 2000-series cars.

The last one to finish up is the newest car, the white reefers with the external reefer unit on the end with the "porch", the 3000-series cars.

Don't know which ones you were looking for originally, but they'll be all covered soon. ;)

Aye, those look to be the ones. And looking real good they are, too.

Request still stands.
I'd prefer a repaint that is NOT vapourware.

I don't have repaints, but I do have some freeware 60' standard boxcars kicking around in Cryo-Trans and BCRail. I'm sure a repaint into Tropicana could be done.

Sounds good. From what I can see, the 60-foot version is the only version of the Tropicana cars that hasn't been done yet (disregarding the vapourware one shown elsewhere in the thread).

What's wrong with vapourware? Some of my best work will never get released (especially if I don't work on it).

It's because of people like USRailFan why my stuff never leaves my computer anymore. The Trop cars are running fine on my computer, too bad for you USRailFan. :D

It's because of people like Chris, why I do my own stuff, and help those that want certain cars such as USRailFan.

Also, How is this USRailfan, I will email it to you later tonight. Not sure if I will release it. ;)
