blah blah 86 class screenshot and stuff
Pete - looking spectacular! Will be nice to have electric trains plying the rails again
. As far as that tuscan passenger car looks - well, I've seen enough heritage trains to know that yours fits the bill nicely!
blah blah CQBY screenshot blah blah
Matt - looking better than the ones I see in real life!
I see while I was away from the forums (I fall off the topic reply notification list every so often for some reason, and because I don't get the e-mail, I don't think to check the thread) that
Davido has done the sneaky and released some new models. As if I didn't have enough free time as it was, now I have to download them and try them out. Ah, lifes tough!
As they say, patience is a virtue, and when it rains, it pours. Both seem to be true at the moment
.
As for the recent discussion on things that do not run on rails - I think scenery is as, if not more important than the trains itself. We have an abundance of quality rolling stock out there, with more and more being made each day. The problem is, is that there are few content creators working on scenery, so many of us have gotten so used to putting up with the usual "same old same old" default Auran scenery, that we don't think to comment when we see something new. Is it wrong? Yeah, it probably is. I usually remain a lurker here, as my efforts pale in comparison to some other screenshot creators here, and so I don't usually go to the effort of taking and uploading screenshots.
That said, I get a huge amount of enjoyment when I have new scenery items to make my routes look better (I usually use all the help I can get). The trees showcased recently in this thread all look great, and I am hoping to obtain all of them (both the payware and freeware trees on show).
Oh, for the record? I love the trees made by
Boobless ed - not simply because they are superior to the trees included by Auran, but because they look really nice when they flash past the train. I put a lot of effort into my scenery, and then don't even pay attention when racing past in the cab, but I love those trees. Whenever I have to install a new version of TRS, that is one of the first things I seek out and download.
YMMV however.
I look forward to installing my TRS2010 that I have sitting next to the computer. Sadly, this computer is probably nearly 5 years old, if not older, and TRS09 is pushing it. This year, a new desktop! Just need to squirrel away some pennies first....
And, does anybody know of the double ended AN 930 and SA Stone Hoppers in ANR, AN ,and some other livery that Nick has made on the VicTrainz Forums to be made avaliable for TRS2009??
