I need help with phase IVb. I'm painting some Superliners in the scheme for Microsoft Train Simulator. I'm mainly using pictures I've found on-line for reference, but I'd like any input from the experts. Plus if anyone has some car numbers that have been painted into IVb that would help a lot.

I should add that the shapes I'm using are not very accurate, but surprisingly they are currently the best available. I'm trying to make them look more realistic with this repaint, but the shapes obviously have their limitations.

Here is what I have so far (Sup I diner #38000, Sup I snack coach #35004, Sup I sleeper #32016, Sup II dorm #39039, and Sup I lounge #33003): Any suggestions as far as the IVb goes? Are all the cars I chose actually in IVb?

The new train simulators will be coming out in 2006. There will be at least 3, I don't know which one will be the better. What do you think?

Not sure who will win the battle of the new Train Sims, but my guess is Train Master (by P.I. Engineering) will be the best for US railroad fans, Rail Simulator (by KUJU) will be the best for European fans, and Trainz 2006 (by Auran) will be the best for those not into super authentic simulations but prefer an easy to use and opperate program.
