Once again, it's that palpable sense of atmosphere: the effect is so much more than the sum of its parts. Brilliant!

And the orphaned lum resited!:p;)

Very sad: he was an extremely talented creator of fastidiously detailed assets. My heart goes out to all he was dear to.... R.I.P.

Whereas I must have clocked up well over a couple of thousand WR trips between Reading and Paddington, Mike, right from the early days, before they were even officially rostered but would run occasional services ahead of the new timetable, up until late 2005, when I moved to Scotland...

That didn’t take long to find a lovely new home, Ken!

Point of order here, John: it’s not the creation that’s the issue, but the importation into game - and the satisfaction is all the greater when an asset is finally smuggled past CM’s highly overzealous border guards! I may have bleated about the difficulties of taking on Blender in the past...

It's always a treat to see any of my assets in your screenshots, Ken: makes all the effort and aggro worthwhile! Thanks for giving me more motivation - I've spent the entire day trying to coax a new Blender mesh (which two separate add-ons confirm as perfectly clean) into the game, but no...

My condolences, too. His services to Trainz were immense, and his name seemed to be at the very core of things when I first started here, although it was a while before I understood its derivation. Working with him on a couple of projects was most enjoyable - even when he inveigled me into...

Glad to hear you were able to obtain the advice to sort things, Innis - it would have been soul-destroying to have lost all that fine work!

Yes, real life has intervened in my case, but in a really good way, consequently leaving me less time (and inclination) for asset creation. I'm still dabbling, but the hoops one has to go through now to get a model into game looking the way it was envisaged can be brain scrambling to say the...

Great to see all that work has come to see the light of day....👏

Any Borders Railway extension will have to wait, since a green light has been given to the reopening of the Levenmouth line (as yours truly predicted here some years back). https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-49279810 This will reconnect the largest urban area in...
