May be of use to some builders

Fire up your 3D modelling tool and start building some rolling stock, or find out what others are previewing here. If you have questions about how to make the blueprints work or what names mean what in models, here's the place to find out your answers.

May be of use to some builders

Post by g0fthick »

I'm sure you guys are well aware how much research goes into building Railworks content and how long this can take to collect. I've recently stumbled upon a site called Flickriver which allows you to quickly and efficiently browse through the Flickr image database, loading all images relevant to your search onto the one page, loading more images as you scroll through. You can literally find every photo of, say, an autocoach there is to be found on Flickr with one click.

Very handy and a real time saver, so I thought I'd pass it on! :)

Thanks for this, Tom! I've been linked to it once or twice but didn't pay much attention to the website itself, just the images. Fotopic also has one of these sites but I cannot remember the URL.

Cool.
Googling for the fotopic pendant, I came across this: http://traindatabase.fotopic.net/
It has links to further sources left and right towards the end of these columns.
