Eddie,

There's a Greater Britain, a Dreadnought & a Jumbo in the works.

Your Claughton should really have 57' stock. Somewhere I have drawings for 12 wheel WCJS coaches - now they really would look good.

Think of a griddle car as an indoor barbeque!

I don't think car transporters ran on the Western, just don't load it.

Reskinning can be done with simple programs, plenty of info on this site.

The last chapter has been added.

It covers snaps, viewports etc. & ends with Levels of Detail.

Pick it up at the earlier address, it's now chapter 13.

What am I meant to be seeing?

Locos wouldn't have run on another companies lines unless running powers had been agreed. What is common in model railways would have been unknown. The wagons were logged by the Railway Clearing House, don't know exactly how it worked, apparently they logged 70,000 wagons daily. The idea was that wa...

or even Pwllheli. Did all the Butlins locos find their way to preserved lines? Apart from the Terrier wasn't there a King - or was that Bulmers? & a Duchess. Loading a loco onto a well wagon would have meant the use of a crane - can't see that! Would the con rods of an inside cylinder loco be discon...

solentskipper,

Have you tried Ebay? Both versions go through quite cheaply.

Paul, Locos would have been towed, probably next to the train engine to provide braking. I suppose that motion would be disconnected if possible, this would have been easier with outside cylinders. I don't think selling locos out of company was that common, locos from outside manufacturers probably ...

xpte, I've made one for 10000, purely to have 4 exhausts. The model itself is 2 polygons with transparent texture. The only problem with it - it causes havoc with the speed prediction - goes wildly between 0 & 250mph!! Obviously it's a clash in the .eng file. The file on trainsim is similar but set-...

Still nearly ready - I've just got to texture the roof.

Mike,

I've just found:-

might be of interest to you.

Michael,

Good idea but...TSM isn't entirely logical. It depends on the hierarchy & grouping, some parts won't appear in SFM.

There's a German program which claims to be able to tame TSM, I haven't any experience of it.

Mike,

This came up a couple of days ago.

You're obviously using TSM; problem seems to be that TSM won't handle more than 2 material states - never has done for me, anyway.

Sounds like time to move to Gmax!

smmille1,

I read that thread, all those files are in place.

The error message I get is:-

Error -2147220987
Could not obtain input file information

First of many error messages. It tries to make an .ace file but it's 0 bytes.

Jonathan, Search on this site, on train-sim.com & steam4me for long & exhaustive discourses. If you're tempted with 3dCanvas try the free download first before you pay for the full version. 3dCanvas won't work on my computer; I know others have had problems. If only for this reason Gmax wins. You ca...
