You are tempting me. *,*! I have been bitten by Train Fever, but when you get this one ready, I need to fire up good old RailRoad Tycoon again. :lol: Funny thing that you say about 1798 tris. I have checked Transport Fever locomotives and models and even the simple ones start with 5000 plus tris. An...

I bought this game from GOG sale last fall, but only now I have begun to play it. So far I like it. Sure the economics are slightly different that RRT3 and it lacks of continental railway feeling, but it has trains. Pretty ones. Ok the basic game and especially early period has limited variation of ...

May I ask from where you got the texture for Jadgpanther? Renault is a very good choice as almost all armies which used early tanks had that or locally built copies. US, USSR, Italy, France of course and even us Finns had Renaults. StuG III would perhaps been more "anonymous" rather than this last e...

Great work with Garratts. I have not yet run it, but I certainly will.

Yes, we know that RRT3 does odd things. I think that the game is so old that at the time it was not possible to buy 3D engine for a program. So we are stuck with whater physical model the programmer came up with.

I'm currently thinking I should maybe try and clear the locomotive backlog a bit, by doing what I've done with the Schools: finish sorting the mesh out, get them running, and leave final UV mapping and detailed skinning for later. It may provide a bit of an incentive to do further work on them, and...

Oh dear. You are so quick. :shock: I did not even open RRT3 or 3D software whole weekend. One of my workmates was leaving, so we had an afterwork party. First too much fun. (0!!0) and then next morning not so much fun. *!*!*! There's no way that green is Bulleid malachite. It's definitely an olive o...

I think the problem is the weird way RT3 does perspective from some angles. Not only the RRT3, but is is my eyes too. :oops: I now know that most Schools had same tender, but when I google pictures the angle make it look like there were several different lenghts. So it so no "problem", but more per...

Oh did not realise that you have already sorted liveries. Apparently there were two different shades of olive, with one favoured at Ashford and the other favoured at Eastleigh. The Eastleigh green was darker, but nobody seems to agree on what shade either of them were so it's anyone's guess. Yes I h...

I haven't thought about the American much yet. That must be up for consideration soon. I did have this idea: Incidentally, while I think of it, another option if we want a bit more choice in the 1850's is to do what a lot of companies did in real life, and have two variants of the standard 4-4-0. O...

I went to see what modelmakers think about it. I know that Dapol has N gauge Schools and Hornby OO model. Dapol's Olive Green and Malachite has painted wheels and Hornby has only BR versions at the moment and all these have black wheels. I know that model makers get these things wrong often, but I t...
