Hi Chris,
I believe I mentioned about the background of my creations before. I put significant emphasis on utilizing original photo materials of actual coaches and carefully recreate them for Trainz paying attention to many layers. It's important since they have a lot of prototypical details that changed during their service under different European railways (even though they were originally made as part of the same, German family). E.g. in Poland, during major overhauls in the early 1970s most "Donnerbüchsen" received new, welded lower portions of their carbodies (which never happend in Austria, since in the 1970s they were no longer overhauled at all)... and that's just one reason that they are preety useless to switch between one and other for Trainz purposes... not to mention that "repainted" colors rarely come authentic and usually all else becomes spoiled with the color change - in this case e.g. the sediment from water on the side walls. It's always best to use authentic materials and work with them. I had only two original Austrian Ci-28 cars that I photographed in Strasshof and Ampflwang and they're both done for Trainz. There's some other cars that I may take on in the future, but as for Ci-28 or Ci-29, that's basically all that I collected from Austria. Maybe a Bi-29 has some chances of appearing since I bumped into a heavily rebuilt one at Strasshof too... however recently I was rather thinking about some additional 4-axle cars, especially the "Jaffa" paintscheme is modestly represented... though I have not decided about any in particular since I am heavily occupied with a revolution on locomotive scripts and updates. Not to worry, I find historic Austrian railways mighty pleasing too so there's definiely space for future creations from that area.
The above-mentioned, heavily-rebuilt former Bi-29:
