Welcome to the world of kitbashing! Simple config edits will eventually lead to much greater projects!

You can adjust the height of the cars by editing the config file by adding the "position" tag in the mesh field in asterisks. It moves x/y/z position. Setting the Z position to -0.1 ~ -0.15 will lower the main mesh so the coupler height should work roughly to NG rolling stock. You may need to...

Condolences to the family. Truly a legend in the community

I had a feeling it was that. I assume you used the steel cab from the TF 4-6-0's, then that is a good bit of info. If so, then that gives me a reason to take a look at them again lol

That's a rather interesting locomotive model. I assume its a private reskin/kitbash, but what is the base asset?

So, as the title shows, I'm looking for some SG logging locomotives. Mainly, I am looking for USA SG 2-6-2T, 2-8-2T, or 2-6-6-2T types and the alike. I already have a good library of geared locomotives (Shay/Heisler/Climax), as well as conventional rod locos (2-6-0, 2-8-0, etc.) and short line...

Here are a few that come to mind

Only issue that I am seeing is panning the camera is rather clunky. There is no smooth/precise rotation as before, only jerky movements. Speed of moving around is fine, just only rotating/panning in Surveyor. Haven't explored any further. If I find any more issues, will post an update

For now, I will be keeping things private. I am using some 3rd party textures/meshes on my little kitbashes, so that is another extra thing I will have to account for on releasing things. (I am lazy and do not want to seek permission from multiple people or have to swap things out to comply with...

Condolences to his family. Green signals ahead.

Eureka!!! All I had to do was add the alpha tag to the texture.txt file. I both love and hate how simple that was. It did not occur to me to add that line. Now, the fun begins 😁

Thank you for the examples. After digging around on the 2 models, they do not really help on what I am trying to do. I am already familiar with adding in additional attachment points and updating/tweaking textures. At least that's what those 2 examples were showing to me via config files and...

Thank you for the lead. I was able to (eventually) download from the google doc link. I'm poking around on the IM editor tool, and not sure how to go about actually viewing and editing things on it.

Not sure if this is possible (excluding the copyright minefield that this thread could become), but is there a way to remove certain parts of a mesh/asset without having the original source file(s) or go about a way to "cover up/mask out" the parts I do not want? I'm wanting to modify some of...

Does anybody know of any good generic 3ft gauge locomotives? I'm working on a fictional route currently and am looking for some motive power to fill it. The problems I am finding is most of the NG content out there is a bit too prototypical for the niche I am looking to fill. While I do love...
