Davis

 

[VirtualBeechGrove]

Cool, how about the viewliners? By the way on VBG ur photo gallery section is empty and on ur homepage it says look at some pics of projeects under photo gallery.

I haven't been focused on doing any art atm. It's just a hobby so i work on creations during my spare time. We'll have to see if i get more work done on them soon.

By the way, I just have a few questions really quick, if you don't mind:

1. Will they be in phase 4b?

2. Will they be in all variations (buisness/cafe, buisnessclass, cafe, coachclass,etc.)

3. Will they have those 3 brake light indicators by the doors (you know like the ones on the horizons on the DLS)

4. When the train stops at a station will the staircase unfold, maybe you could put that in as a pantograph button function?

5. Are they gonna be a really high poly or are they gonna be about the same as ur 1700 series baggage car?

Thanks for your time,

Davis

Sorry Davis, you'll just have to wait and see for yourself...:hehe:

Surprises...

 

[strench707]

I'm good with that, I was just wondering. However, I did see some pictures of it in phase 4b and I was just wondering if you were only doing that on the old file or the new ones. If that's a suprise too, then I'll just wait.

Hey I was just wondering, after you finish up ur p32, amfleet and viewliner projects, whatelse do you plan to do in the future? Maybe some heritage stuff like crew dorms and diners or an hhp-8 and e60, i heard something about the genesis series, metroliner amtrak cab car, superliners, revised acela,ect.

I just put that list of stuff out there to see if you were interested or planned to do any of those things.

Keep up the great work and I'm not pressuring you at all, I'm just curious as to what you are interested in making.

Thanks,
Davis

 

[VirtualBeechGrove]

Just relax, I don't make things that I feel are missing from trainz, It's art that I do because of my interest in the equipment. So I am going to not go ahead and make plans on future things, just be patient, because I can't even garuntee I will release all this stuff, merely because I could lose interest. Remember.. It's art and requires lots of devotion and time.

 

[strench707]

I understand but what I mean is are you interested in that kinda stuff or older amtrak stuff. How are the amfleets and viewliner going?

@ jefff944, take your time.

@ strench707, don't rush him. let the man do his stuff.

 

[VirtualBeechGrove]

I'll update you when i make progress. Right now i have to get my old files off my old harddrive.

Corey

 

[strench707]

No rush, so what ur saying is ur putting all the stuff from ur old memory to ur new one, once it''s transfered, you can then resume normal activities, is that what ur saying?

Is ur new PC a vista or an XP?

Davis

 

[VirtualBeechGrove]

I'm saying that I will work on my stuff when I am in the mood to do so, since I have other things to occupy my time with. I am running Vista 64 bit.

Okay, a break is good every once in a while. Sounds like it's a good computer. Just out of curiosity, what company is it? I'm gonna be taking a trainz break in september when I break ground on my amtrak model railroad (4 tracks all the way:Y: :clap: :clap: :Y: ), that will get my train mind in whole nother place, I'm buying my 4th and 5th P42DC to add to my fleet in September!

Davis

 

[strench707]

By the way Corey, a while back you said you knew some consists. I was wondering if you still had some of those. That could also, really help me run prototypical trains on my model railroad. If not, that's okay, I just thought you mentiomed something a while back about consists amfleets were used in.

The most recent regional I rode had the werdest consist:

P42DC
P32-BHW
1700 Series Baggage Car
Amfleet 2 Lounge
Amfleet 1 Coach (x3)
Horizon Coach (x1)
Amfleet 1 Coach
Amfleet 2 Coach
US Navy Private Car

That was Regional 90 I believe and I just rode it from Fredericksburg, VA to Ashland-Hanover, VA and back (both just north of richmond). Anyways, I know that's an unusual consist but apparently, they all just came out of beech grove and need to be distributed. A couple amfleers had "Amtrak's Empire Service" on the doors which I had never seen before.

Anyways, if you hav the consists I would be very interested.

Thanks in advance for any consist insight you may have
