Central of Georgia modernized Heavyweight car

I always fall under the spell of the modernized and "streamstyled" heavyweight 12 wheelers, still old-fashioned and often slightly provincial. This time, my gaze turned toward the Central of Georgia, a roadname for wich nearly no passenger equipment is available. Central of Georgia used for a time the chocolate and orange livery of Illinois Central, and this was my first choice. The car I made is a close foobie of CofG coach 527, color printed as usual (and without lettering, as I am a bit lazy...)

It is seen here in company of a borrowed IC baggage car (MTL product), on a light train let by an Atlas FM H15-44.

I must say, you have mastered this printing process. Well done. I have followed your process threads. Almost makes me want to buy one like yours. I have been seeing ads for multi-head printers for multi-color filament printing lately, and wonder how well those work.

Lowell Smith did CoG coach 663 as part of his Illinois Central City of Miami trainset.  Unfortunately, it's sold out.
