Wait, the Muni Cable Car isn't in this yet...

I get your point now, it is part of USA.

It's nice to know there is interest within the community. The modeller will create an account to share more updates on their progress in the near future. I'm posting this comment to help guide them to this topic to avoid topic duplications.

Hey All, thank you so much for the kind words on this project, trust me, it hasn't been the easist, especially since I have crippling OCD and a busy work schedule. Since the last screenshots have been posted, I did a few revisions to the body itself to match the correct passenger door height from the roof of the LRV itself, and I've made changes to the axles and bogies due to measurement discrepancies. I have both cars measured exactly based on their official technical drawings, and the only things that need to happen are the detailing of window frames, undercarriage components, and framing, diaphragm and articulation, wheel modeling, control animation, and, of course, scripting, lighting, and final in-game simulation.

For the components, I have created a checklist of what are where they are located, thankfully, a close contact at LA Metro sent me the LRV Manual for these cars (this includes amendments for the modifications done in the early 1990s and changes made for the P2020s that were assigned to the Metro Green Line), so there will be a lot of work to be done between now and the end of June. I have a couple of fan pieces I am preparing with the cars as well, so stay tuned.

Here's a texture test.

For a visual comparison to the SG2, the P865 and P2020 are only 3 meters shorter in length.
For the European dominant audience, the SG2 is ≈29m long for a single car while the P865/P2020 is ≈ 26m
For us minority Americans, ≈91ft vs 89ft respectively.
TheCh3mist92's examples are of the A cabin.

I better not hope the SG2 doesn't go after you for insulting his size.. or worse, all of Rotterdam's trains of the Metro.

If it were still alive and not scrapped that is
