Description
Union Pacific had multiple trainsets, the City of LA, City of Denver, City of SF and the Overland or Challenger to name others. Their trainsets before the late 40s were primarilly gray and white, I've always called this the Overland or Challenger scheme. Correct? Maybe. I do know that the gray and yellow scheme is called Greyhound...

Here is your standard color scheme add-on for the Heavyweight Passenger set. It has two schemes, the Overland Gray scheme and Armour Yellow. Each have their own unique drumhead. The Overland scheme has a circle drumhead with the 1912 logo. The Armour Yellow scheme has a standard UP shield with the UP logo.

As usual, it has multiple LODs.

Types included:
  • Baggage
  • Diner
  • Coach
  • Parlor
  • Sleeper
  • Observation Business Class

Some cool things about them:
  • Interiors with details
  • Baggage car has visible load
  • Custom sounds by MrCheesecake
  • Couplers by Model Citizen
  • Group Listed under starter pack Pullmans
  • Start in 1915, Black Diamond available in 1937
  • Different price and capacity based on seating capacity in prototypes
  • Couplers connect with MC's hoses appearing connected
  • Custom drumhead for each scheme

Disclaimer:
These are just a generic heavyweight set, to be used where ever you choose. It was made with reskinning in mind so many railroads could be represented. It is not based off one specific traincar, as many, many passenger cars differed in layout and style. So I grabbed what I saw on the internet and took ideas from that.

Planned Updates
  • Either in this mod or another, a combine, a second coach, RPO, and horse baggage car (80' long baggage car)

If you like my stuff, you can always help out and make a donation! Might help me get tools for this like new fonts and stuff!

really like these cars, but something's wrong with the yellow UP textures on the sleeper (and only the sleeper). Up close it looks like a rusted out piece of junk, and from a distance it's a noticeably different yellow than its friends. I haven't tried the other two colour variants, but this looks very odd

Oh yes this! It's a known issue I need to fix. Next time I do another repaint pack I will address this

Imgur or any photo upload site would be good, just paste the link here.

OK, what would be the best way of posting/sending you the screenshots?
themeatballhero  [author] 12 Jun, 2021 @ 6:43am 
yeah! screenshots would help a lot. GTX 970 i could kind of believe if you were using high settings
