How about using a different track texture? It would probably make it look sooooo much better!!

Love the look of it! The videos great!

Ah, another one asking that. Well at the beginning of the rpoject, this was tried.......but when installing x-tracks i got error messages, and when i instaled finescale after i uninstalled x-tracks, i also got error messages. So my only option was default

No..I dont mean track type, but track texture!

Just a sec I'll get an ID for you!

Rusty Track [314251 bytes] - rusttrak.zip
File ID: 2848 Date: 26 Aug 2002 - 664 Downloads

I think that will make the route look nicer.

Just another thought, some of the platforms do seem abit long!
Would it be a good idea to download the magnetic platforms to get a more ideal lengh?

Anything I can help you on drop me a line!
(I consider my Thomas Knowledge to be very good!)

Same here. Although I don't have a map of Sodor I can still give some ideas of track layout and locations along the way.

Hi
any help towards msts sodor will be great, anything you can provide plase either post on the forums or e-mail me them through the e-mail link found in my profile

Oh, and having just watching some of the new thomas eps, Maron has changed. I recall in the first couple of series it was straight platforms, but now it is curved

Have you got a map of Sodor?

Maron has always had a curved station...I think...

There are plenty of maps on the Real LIves of Thomas site.

Is there, i've only been using that site to see what all the locos in thomas are based on for reskins ( Arthur in porgress ).

I'll have to have a more detailed look later

Calvert, i can't download the rusty track texture because of the huge queues, so is it possible you can send the textures to me, or would it be okay if i use the scottrax textures ( i have them on my machine somewhere )
