Polar Express Observation Car and Coach (Exterior)
All work seen here is my own.
Started in Blender 2.8 and finished in 4.4.3, we have the completed exteriors (minus some coupling detail) of the Polar Express coaches seen in film. While the interior of the regular coach is not complete, the observation car is.
Each car has separately modelled details as well as specialized lighting rigs.

An angled view from the rear, showing the observation deck on the observation car. Notice the red safety light above the roof.
Each car has independent brakes.
Both cars are modelled independently of one another, due to substantial differences.
