Wow, that's some very good progress!

As for empty intermodal cars, just search for them, and you should be able to find them.

I resize to a certain Bogey position i want, i first export the full locomotive and find out its bogeypos is 146, then i will times it by 0.87 to give me a loco with the length of 128, a lood lenght that still looks good around corners, as for freight vehicles i use Plastikmans lengths as a guide, i had them written down somewhere but i have lost it.

This will be released soon, probably tommorow.
I removed the Caternary for better views of the electrics, so dont worry they are electric. I will be doing some early GP series and U25B and U30's next.

Regarding the blue haze around some of the trains, i worked on a new tolerance setting that will remove most of it.
