A locomotive on itself would make no profit. The profit made from trains is what it pulls, which at this point, I had nothing. My next goal was to make passenger coaches for the G-1sa, and any other passenger locomotive I create for the Reading. Creating coaches was much easier than the locomotive, as many are preserved, and due to the great source of information at The Reading Modeler's website (Reading Modeler's Coach Index). Due to the abundance of information on them, and the time period I was modeling (early 1950s) I created the PBr and PBh type coaches. Not even a day into modeling, I was nearly finished the exterior of the coach.

I decided not to put any interior on the coaches, as it would cause lag and I have a system that can be used to board passengers easier. Once done, I imported the coaches to Roblox in the same format as before. The outcome was this :

The numbers on the side of the coach was something I implemented very quickly. It is an auto generated numbering system, which adheres to the number of coaches that there were on the Reading. I also implemented it onto the locomotive as well.
After the coaches were done, I realized I could easily edit them into a combine, or a combined Coach and Baggage car. The Reading Modeler also has a page on the site for combines, which I used. Creating the combine was a quick and easy process, which was completed within two hours.

Since I had a basic set of equipment, the next step is to create the basis of the map, including the infrastructure.
