Very nice Jon :)

Youve resized the nameplate again, a feat that still eludes me :-?

Hi Richard
Thanks .... its one of Ian's nameplates (North Eastern).
Its not correct for the 57s though.... as they are really offset, on opposite sides.

Cheers
Jon

Nice work there Jon. I finally have my PC back up and running again, so in time I will update the previous Freightliner 57s I uploaded onto Ians model. :)

Brilliant news.......... thanks Anton. :P

If you could send me that side texture it would be great.
I have done some more work on the front of 57005

Hi Jon,

That front does a lot for the skin as a whole - especially around the headcode boxes which were 'problem areas' on Anton's original skin.

Very nice looking indeed, Jon, particularly with the revised front end. Also good to hear that more will be on the way from Anton.

Hi
Thanks Dave and Michael

I'll continue work on 57005 (as I don't think that one has been done before)
If anyone has the side texture in 1024 x 1024 it would be great.
I have also done some work on 57005, in my favourite preserved livery (along with Riviera trains :lol: )





As inspired by this photo by Carl Westwood (nice shots Carl)

Are those waggons available in MSTS ?

Cheers
Jon

Nope, they are jna or jxas. Closest to those are MT FSF freeware wagons.
