Awesome railroad site!

Not to be missed if you're a serious railfan - or trainsimmer!

Go to this site: http://www.steelcar.com/

Tour their catalog, totally AWESOME 3d modelling work! I wonder if we could talk them into having some of those models...

Watch the intro, not to be missed, and then check out Railcar Showroom. Both the Video and 360 Views are worth watching. I'd love to know who their marketing company is, they actually make railroad cars look sexy!

Wow. They make a freight car look like a Corvette Z06. or Nissan GT-R. and these can't even move by themselves!!!

I'd love to see the poly counts on those, amazing what you can do when you don't have to worry about loading them into an 8 year old sim!

125ton trucks?! wow!

Cooool! ...that's National Steel Car.
I live 45 minutes away from their main plant! :)
Wow they put together one helluva site.

It's not nearly as usefull as the freightcaramerica site, though, because you can't download and use the drawings. But it sure is pretty!
