you mean the kuids? John

4.3 export as fbx then traniz will convert it to trainzmesh. The bogey can be .im, the body trainzmesh. Cheerio John

Interesting, some of my most popular downloads are assets that I just put up but didn't think there was much interest in. Having a method of showing which are the mot popular might help, but with 2,000 assets on the DLS it would have to sort them by download count. Cheerio John

Yes. John

I think one problem in the UK is the hills and tunnels which restrict the loading gauge and make it difficult to electrify. Also many of the lines are not exactly straight. Then you get the planning problems. For HS2 each section that ran through a town or village needed planning permission...

It's all down to profit. In the US basically the freight lines own the track. So a long train travelling at 30 mph (50 km/h) gets the job done and needs less track maintenance. In Europe often passenger services and freight share the line so the track is maintained to a higher standard and...

The thomas stock is copyrighted so basically it is no longer available. Cheerio John

Another thing to look at is the locos have two parts, the top bit and the moving wheels. Find a bogey the right size then all you need is the superstructure. John

Have a look at Ed's suggestions. Basically ideally you need a plan with dimensions front and side view plus photos front and side. A sectional plan is a start. Try digging on https://www.rmweb.co.uk/ in the forums, and as Ed suggested https://www.railwaymuseum.org.uk/. HMRS have a forum for...

Have a look on HMRS, if you're close to Ottawa you can drop round for a coffee. John

You could always try blender and make one? try KUID2:403746:2179:5 on the DLS edh6 has made a variety of narrow gauge locos Cheerio John

About a third of the time need for content creation is the research. So do you have plans, front and side photos? I understand bluebell have an 0-6-0 loco of the same type floating round so take good camera down there and take some photos. Once you have a research pack it will be easier to...

It can make a difference on large routes and if you're using quad channel memory 64 gigs might not be an option due to memory module availability but 128 is so 128 works sometimes. Cheerio John

Since the only difference is the monitor it's 3,686,400 pixels to be driven rather than 2,073,600, translation you'll need about twice the GPU to get the same frame rates. I might go a 4k monitor then run it in 1920 by 1080 for trainz. Cheerio John

So if the monitor max frames per second is 60 why would you feed it more than 60 fps? Thanks John
