Howdy!
I've been using Elvenor's MAN6 Dual Gauge track for years now. Great track. Recently, I've began to notice something.
The quality of track has been increasing over the years, in part to the newer releases like TS '09 and up with new graphics properties and details. It's now 2012. Years have past since the Dual Gauge track's first use. I say it's time to give it an update. I say that the rails need to be of a heavier grade, the ties and ballast more crisp and 3d. I would love to take on the making of a new series of the MAN6 Dual, Standard and Narrow Gauge Tracks, yet due to time, resources, and experience, I can not perform this task. What I am saying is what I think would look best in on a newer version of the MAN6.
Seeing how the forums here have been recently with the 'gimmie pig' and 'Freeware vs. Payware' episodes, I do not want to sound like I want this done over night. I'm only expressing my concern with the awesome assests that were created back in the day. I want to see this track more in the future with an updated look.
Just wanting to see if anybody else feels the same with older assets like this getting the reconition they deserve by updateing/rebuilding them for the newer versions of TRAINZ. Anybody up to the task of (or at least consider) making a newer version of the MAN6 series of Dual Gauge track for TRAINZ?
(please don't make this a tread about 'gimmie pigs' and such that is all-too-common around here these days)
