So you've noticed that Southern is my favourite, Rob! I've still got plenty more Southern steam locos in mind, but I'll probably do a "Royal Scot" at some time - I've got a nice photo of "The Hussar" that's taken my fancy.

How bout a nice 5MT, a new freeware model is a huge gap in the libary atm (tries guilt trip )

[jbilton]

Looks absolutely stunning.

got a black 5 in the works, somewhere Rob, im sure i sent you a picture at one point, caprotti and 767 versions will be there aswell of course if i get beaten to it well my models will follow up just to boost the library, i'll have to set about uploading screenshots of all works in progress on my comp, but enough Hijacking the thread.

When you want these disks for the MN Danny?

Can anyone give me any links to pictures of Southern Lamps so i can set about building one for both Danny's MN and the L1?

Thanks, Jon. As you can see from Mike's comments, he's been helping me out with the MN's. We're nearly there now, just discs, lamps and crew to fit - might have to forget about a crew though if I can't beat the alpha bug..........

[demonshadow]

and bounding box, which i still need to sort, i'll have a go at some Crew in a few minutes, i personally won't be bothering with alpha's... currently trying to sort out mobile phone issues... got a new simcard and such, now just got to try retrieve the most important numbers from the o2 site, then it's on to the crew.

any personal taste in height Danny?
Height, stance etc etc...... (perhaps a nice brunette, in a black and white dress or something )

Hi, Pictures look excellent. Have posted this in other sections. Is it possible to add Golden Arrow Headboard with Arrow through it and also the large Golden Arrow on the side or the smaller Golden Arrow on the deflectors? it would look Absolutely fantistic.

Have attempted to do this myself on another engine with TGA Tools2 but when I attempt to change paintwork it paints out the rivets. I was trying to make a weathered engine look like a new one. Any help or suggestions please.

I was trying to make a weathered engine look like a new one.

I did 2 versions in Southern livery - one "Shaw Savill" is clean and the other "Canadian Pacific" is weathered - why not just give Shaw Savill a new number and crest if you want an alternative clean one?

WRT the Golden Arrow, I was asked for this some weeks ago. I could do it but it means dropping other work that I have in hand. It would need additional parts made - for the smokebox arrow and flags at least - the side arrows could possibly be incorporated into the body texture. It seems a worthwhile addition, so I'll do it eventually - unless someone else beats me to it................

Meanwhile One other question please?

I only want to change the Main Body and Tender Colour of BATS_BoB_34067_GA_BR, Nothing else. Is it possible to change an Ace File to make a new model as opposed to weathered or do I still have to do this with TGATools2

[dee4141]

You can certainly reskin 34067's body and tender in the normal way, but you would need to keep it for your own personal use. You won't be able to upload it to the UKTS Library as a reskin though as it's no longer possible to get permission from BATS. BATS only permitted reskins to be uploaded to their own website in any case. It should be OK to show screenshots though................

Hi again, thanks for reply.

Don't know anything about reskinning, Although I have seen mention of it before. I will have a look in Tutorial section to see if anything there. If not maybe you could point me in the right Direction

[dee4141]

You'll find the Tutorial headed "Texturing". It's very good and tells you all you need to know..........after that it's practice!
