How often does a train get made from Wanted forum - TW METRO

[Dewgel]

Well, I've posted twice about the Tyne and Wear metro in the Wanted! Forum, but nobody has even replied.
So..If any train reskinners are willing to perhaps reskin or even make a brand new train, called Tyne and wear metro please reply here or there.
I've got full specs, from 30 pictures, cabview pic and interior...to history and even information of what it feels like (I drive one myself)

I'm new to TSM Modeler program. I'm currently figureing out how to use the program and makeing some "mock up" wagons at the moment . If no-one wants to make that type of stock . I'll have a crack at it but you may need to tidy up the textures i make though .

cheers

ash888, would you PLEASE reduce the size of those outrageously large sig images! I have mentioned this before and you have not responded. You might have your screen res set to 1600x1200 but for those who prefer a size like 800x600 they really are indecently big and a great inconvenience. Thanks.

P.S. I read somewhere that the preferred 'netiquette' maximum dimensions for a sig image is something like 400x200 pixels total (all images). You now understand why I am on your case about those bloated pictures!

ash888, would you PLEASE reduce the size of those outrageously large sig images! I have mentioned this before and you have not responded. You might have your screen res set to 1600x1200 but for those who prefer a size like 800x600 they really are indecently big and a great inconvenience. Thanks.

P.S. I read somewhere that the preferred 'netiquette' maximum dimensions for a sig image is something like 400x200 pixels total (all images). You now understand why I am on your case about those bloated pictures!

I'm on 1024x800 and it looks fine...That was a little off topic mate, mind PMing him for stuff like that - I'd like to keep this topic on-topic, nothing personal...
