Those are some nice updates. Looking good from here. DO you have by chance, freight trains?

[vester_DK 477]

Yes I have. Not by change, but a lot of work......

 

 

Check out my showroom.

A new color scheme, Long Island RR:

This time with two new engines from the same RR.

[vester_DK 477]

Chicago, Burlington & Quincy:

Also known as Q, mostly Burlington Route.

This is where the B in BNSF railways comes from.

(BNSF = Burlington Northern Santa Fee)

[vester_DK 477]

Going to the area around Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan ect:

SOO-Lines and a few alternative engines.

 

Maine Central and a few alternative engines.

Beautiful work, my friend!

[vester_DK 477]

Louisville & Nashville and a Wabash engine.

 

Chicago Northwestern.

[TekindusT 3,809]

So much low-polygon beauty on this thread!

[Hotwheeler 409]

Your new trains are truly awesome.I love all the liveries and passenger car variations.

I assume they will be like your  other train packs,choose one replacement and add one or several additionals.Because i clearly can`t decide between you more modern trains and these classic beauties.

[vester_DK 477]

Good news on that front: You can use additional cars from both in the modern style and the vintage style at the same time.

 

Half way with the modding by now.

 

 

Here is a picture of the Atlantic Coast Line:

Interesting color choice.Kinda reminds me of the german"Telekom", a Telekommunication company.

The last car doesn't seem to be in line with the rest of the train.Is it a little bug or because of a weird rail slope?

And that sounds good about the "additional" thing...

[vester_DK 477]

Think its a weird slope thing.

 

 

First a picture taken by Simcoug:

Milwaukee Road with a engine from Tennessee Central.

 

Baltimore and Ohio:

 

Lackawanna:

 

For all three mods there are fitting engines in Volume 10:

Milw A, Milw B, BO and EL.

An overview of the color schemes in the coming release:

[Hotwheeler 409]

Ah great,i damaged another keyboard by drooling all over it...

No seriously,this looks really nice.I assume that there are a gazillion tons of complicated programming,tweaking and kicking/punching so the game won`t mix passenger cars and locomotives liveries,right?Man i really can`t imagine all this massive work that was put into this project.But i`m sure all this efford will pay of in many happy SC4 players, cool pictures from Diaries with these trains in it and many happy facfes that are doing "awwwww" and "ohhhhh" expressions like at a cool fireworks exhibition.

[vester_DK 477]

Sorry to hear about your keyboard. Maybe its time to get yourself cover for it.

 

There are some modding behind this, but there is no way of controlling how the trains mixes the train cars. To bad.

At least it would be a treat to could control some aspects of it, but no.

 

So if you want to have to two trains from different railroads to pas each other, the only way to do that is throught Photoshop/Gimp and programs like that.

Like on this image with two Chicago Northwestern engines, where the colors has been updated:

Could wait for the two trains to pass each other, so zip-zip....

 

Been working on some extra engine fitting the colors of train cars:

Maine Central


.... and a train in colors to blend into the surrounding:

Satremento Northern (a subsidiary of Western Pacific)

 

inspired by this picture:

...colors you also saw on Western Pacific engines.

 

 

Quiet fitting to think that in Volume 9 had a Satremento Southern engine in colors Southern Pacific Lark.

[vester_DK 477]

Here are one more engine:

Chicago South Shoe Line.

[vester_DK 477]

Great Northern, Empire Builder.

All those trains and cars look great! Wonderful work I only wish there could be more steam locomotives in game (yeah, I'm a sucker for steam trains...)

[vester_DK 477]

You and a lot of others.

 

 

Been wrapping up the engines, correcting the models and the textures:

Time to work on the two readmes (for engines and for cars).

The readme for the cars is almost done. Just need to add the new engines to the text.

[SimCoug 5,973]

Great work!!

[slickbg56 778]

Most excellent!

[TPB 562]

Wow, amazing work!

[T Wrecks 10,209]

You really are the rail transit authority in terms of SC4. One model as beautiful as the other, and all that choice and variation to boot!

[vester_DK 477]

Thank you all.

 

Have finished the two readme's and the first installer, the one of the engines.

Second one I need to figure out what the structure is going to be.

 

 

Another teaser:

A Texas & Pacific and a Missouri Pacific engine.

Have done both engines in the two color sets.

[vester_DK 477]

With some good help from Noah (noahclem), rivit, simcoug and Matt(threestooges) I got through the testing and checking the mods, installer and readmes.

Thank you. Thank you.


Now its time to hit the sc4d exchange:

 

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Hooray for all of you, and thanks a bunch!

[vester_DK 477]

Thank you, T Wrecks.

 

Started working again on old project:

Still a work in progress. The shadow at the bottom more or less mark what is almost done. Still no texture on the pantograph.

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Ooooh, now that's a change of pace! Unlike your previous project, I may never use this one myself because I'm a sucker for older trains, but that's an attractive high-speed train skin if I've ever seen one.
