Those are looking great Trolca.
 
If you have no big projects in the works, could you create an engine, and maybe some coal or other cars for the fictional Wachaw Industrial Administration for use in my railroading CJ? (See link in sig if interested)They would be black w/ blue, and some kind of logo.
Just an idea for a new line.
 
It is definitely not a high priority.

    Is this logo acceptable?

    I like the names Dartsmouth Northern and the Topex & Homestead railroads. With your permission I'd like to use them the next time I create a fictional set.

    It looks absolutely acceptable.
     
    Feel free to use the line names. I actually took them from cities in my other regions. In fact, I would much appreciate it.

    A GG1 would be difficult to do. I could make the Pennsylvania Railroad the next new project but most likely I'd start with other locomotives.

    For now, here's some Wachaw Ind Admin hoppers.

    Here's my first try at the Topex & Homestead engine.
    I'm going to update the Burlington Northern set and place it on the STEX before I get back to this.

    Positively amazing, Trolca.
     
    Many Bunnies to you:35.gif35.gif35.gif35.gif35.gif35.gif35.gif
     
    It is ironic though, I just named Homestead after the city in Florida, but then I just came up with Topex to write on a water tower in a drawing. One of my few creative city names.

    I was planning on working on the Burlington Northern set but got side-tracked. I'll be getting on it soon.
    Here are two Dartsmouth Northern engines. I wish the logo was easier to read but some times that's not an easy task.

    Hey trolca, I've seen all of the different trains you have made and I was wondering if you ccould make a newer model melbourne connex train which uses ground rail and elevated rail? That is if you have got time. I would really appreciate it. Here are a few picture link that should help.

    Man, lost my subscription somehow, missed a whole page of replies. Glad to see you're back in the swing of things, Trolca. I'm glad you're hitting the BN set again. No matter what kind of region I do, it always ends up in their are of operation. Mostly because I've grown up seeing them for 20 years.

    I'm going to try and improve a number of the models and textures before I release the Burlington Northern set.
     
    For now, here's another Topex & Homestead engine.

    Ninja12 and DuskTrooper: I think Big Red Fish is the one you're looking for for the Metro trains. Trolca focuses on freights.

    quote>

    Joreg has made a mod for bart. if you just need a subway/el-rail train. Im sure it would be easy to set it as a passenger train if you need to.

    but anyways, talk to joreg.

    I wasn't sure if I should post my request, since I'm not nearly as involved in the forums as some of the other requesters out there, but I'll give it a shot nonetheless..

    I'm preparing a City Journal about the slightly oppressive Empire of Chaumont. Having custom trains would be absolutely magnificent..

    My request is to have the Chaumontian flag on it (see image below and perhaps something like Imperial Rail - Remember : We're watching. (Or just Imperial Rail) I prefer a dark color for the trains and cars, but I'll stop requesting now and let you work your magic.. 2.gif I have lots more ideas about the exact specifications of the train(set), but you can always PM me if you're interested in more details..

    For the most part I rather not do passenger rail mods, but if I did I rather lean towards fictional instead of real.

    What does everyone think about this?

    I must say that it looks pretty good. Can't wait to see if it leads up to any promising prospects.

    I wanted to improve most of the Burlington Northern set before I packaged it. It's been slow going. Here's the SD40 with a few changes.

    <ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//FEBNL4.jpg align=baseline>

    It didn't turn out as well as I hoped.

    I edited an image in the ilive Reader to give a better idea of what I did.

    The SD-40 looks pretty good Trolca. I'm glad you're still slaving away at the BN set. My rails are itching for more trains.


     

    Now remember, nothing seems to come out in the game as good as it looks in other programs.
