No worries! These were completed in a rush using available parts from Tempo production.

We will make sure they are yellow in production. Thanks for letting us know!

At this point I'm wondering if one of the Daleks exterminated them...
Rumor has it that an accident with a Dalek might be the reason they are hiring too...  (Just joking!)

Actually if anyone has interior photos of the cafe car in Ski Train service we could really use it to get the colors right. We know the club and coach seats were red. Well the club seats were red late in life. 

Please share what you can! 

Thanks,

Jason
 

No 3800 cu. ft. hoppers painted in Skaro Southern? With or without back disc?

It was a toss up between Skaro Southern and Kasterborous Kargo. We went with KK. :-D 

We were trying to do Calufrax Cargo but everyone at CC seems to have stopped responding to emails.

(These are all obscure references to British television show Doctor Who, by the way.)

Those hoppers look incredible!!

"Render" as a noun, a shortened form of 'rendering'.   I like it.  Is it widely used in the CAD etc world ?

Best regards, SZ  aka Mr Technology

[ OK, that's the shortened form -- it's actually Mr 1950 Technology ......]

Edit:  Answers own question:  Yes, it is -- I found that usage given in the online 'Wiktionary'.   I hadn't found it in more classical dictionary sources.
