               :|  I received my heavyweight Texas Special RPO car done for Lowell Smith. Wow! It is a very nicely done paint scheme that Micro Trains did on this car. This car represents one of two heavyweight cars painted in the shadow line  Texas Special scheme to fill in for lightweight RPO cars when needed. Coming soon a heavyweight diner that was upgraded and painted as a TS fill in car when needed. Nate Goodman. (Nato).  :|

Here's a quick video of the new RPO with the rest of Lowell's Texas Special cars.  I replaced the stock wheels with FVM 36" metal wheels and the stock 1015 MT couplers with Z scale 907's.  The motive power are 2 E7's that I kitbashed from a pair of Life-Like E7's.  There are some other custom painted/decaled cars in this consist as well.
