There is one at http://www.uktrainsim.com/index.php?for ... texturing1.

After working through that and experimenting with the wagons mentioned above, I would ask further questions in forum 'Help for Beginners' and not 'General MSTS Discussion'.

And the one Daz attempted a few years ago went under because of various reasons. It's one thing to make a fictional route which people will take as sodor, but it's another to try and build a route as close as possible to how it appears in the TV series. There's a lot of stuff on that island!

Well that's in-part to people suddenly going paranoid over 'possible' copyright lawsuits 2-3 years ago.

If you look on UKTS you'll see a whole lot of Thomas related material...but once everyone was shouting about copyrights we (meaning the few of us who were making Thomas reskins and models back then) gave up

I had a good model of Bill&Ben/Judy&Alfred coming along back then, and I ended up stuffing it due to all the paranoia. I haven't seen one yet...so there should be no danger.

Yip, Daz and me are still in contact and he was helping me with models etc... for the route.

I must go back to the route sometime in the near future and add in a few things etc.... just to spice it up a bit.

I did make it accordingly to the Rev.W.Awdrys map, so it just shows how sad i am.

I had all the track laid from Knapford to Crovans gate, the line to Ffarquar and beyond ( Toby's mine area ) was semi conmpleted and i had the track all the way to the Aluminium works. And also quite abit of it was scenerised, most of the buildings built by either me or Daz

Currently, I'm Trying to reskin something, but it's not troublesome trucks. It's Donald & Douglas, the two scottish twins. I decided to make a loco reskin since I learned that MSTS Locos come with a Bmp or Tga format under the samples folder. Download coming soon!

Donald and Douglas have already been made for msts quite a while ago.
However they were not released on UKTS but were made with assistance by myself.

If anyone wants me to upload these then please give me a shout and i'll dig em out as they contain both the twins and the utility coach that is seen in the middle of the two in the tv series.

Cheers

Daz
