Sodor Bill and Ben?

Post by JonathonAG »

Hi Guys,
as some of you know, i am working on a sodor route. I will be extending the track down to Brendam Bay and the China Clay Quarries. I was wondering though, as there isn't a bill or Ben, would someone be able to build one of the twins? It would be most helpful and useful, and would be great to run at the docks?

So can anyone help please?

Are there any screenshots of this route, since it appears to be good?

Well, I've just made one as my first ever model. How do I upload a picture here? I only have it as a .3dc, it's not animated and I don't have to tools to export it into MSTS but if anybody wants to finish it off for me they're welcome to, in fact I'd be delighted.

Well for the picture, my recomendation is taking a screenshot of it in TSM (or whatever modeler you used) saving it as a jpg file in paint or Paintshop Pro. Then upload the picture file to http://www.imageshack.us/ (which is an easy site to use). :)

As for exporting the model...I haven't used TSM in such a long time (mainly because I lost some codes I needed :-? ) so I'm sorry to say that I wouldn't be too much help there.

@ rwaceyw
Go ahead ;) You have my permission (just give me a little recognition in the readme or something :P lol ). I don't think I'll ever be able to finish them myself. :( (I wonder why you never contacted me on MSNM about it :o )
