I made a KC Streetcar heritage paint scheme based off the old PCC cars.
Had to make adjustments here and there to conform to the the standards I could find between various existing liveries.

First import, not super happy with the color of the stripe but it's a start. I do really like how the other details on the E8 came out tho.

Didn't do much modeling last night though I did start on a Baggage Mail Coach for the diesel Firefly.

Started on the passenger cars for a Frisco Firefly diesel Era consist. Added an additional baggage, coach, and a streamlined car for some additional visual interest as well.

It's painful to read plans from a century ago that perfectly formulate how to build a world class transit system yet today we still need years of redundant studies to even build a bus lane

Check out this 1923 transit plan commissioned by the Chicago City Council. We use to be insanely ambitious. A network like this would've supported Paris-level population densities.
It's never too late!

I’ve spent a lot of the last three years investigating the rise of anti-trans politics. Often, it came back to the controversy over trans women athletes.
So I teamed up with @pablo.show to look into the leading figure on the issue: Riley Gaines.

How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire
The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

Such a shame that KC will be losing a 137 year old historic building all because the asshole owner refused to keep up with maintenance. Neglecting a property like this should be a crime honestly.

Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

Managed to squeeze the original and simplified livery on the texture SO will be able to get a variety of versions made.

I am very happy with the progress I made today. All the major stuff done now I get to work on the details.
The structural frame behind the vent is one thing I am looking forward to modeling after I find a decent reference.
