Australian screenshots

To me that looks like a C class loco leading the 44.
Yup,
VR C Class, I miss see'ing them run past Geelong in V/Line.
Anyone care to guess these?
I gave some Prototypes to some people months ago but they where really bad
so I spent all day fixing up glitches and att point problems.
I started making them mid last year, then I stopped working on them
months ago, then thought I'll clean them up a bit.

Looking fantastic.... :udrool:
Yeah,
I tried to make them close to real as possible, I would sometimes spend hours looking at the 2 Motor cars in Newport Workshops back in 2002/2003 "they actually did run back then" I saw them go out to the city loop, Only problem is I spent too much time building the interior of these rather then the exterior.
Means the exterior isn't 100% accurate, I also built them in Gmax and it'll crash allot, sometimes when I save, take a break come back and Gmax refuses to load the file, so I have to start again, while I build new models in 3ds Max now, these where collecting dust in F:\drive for months so I thought I'll do what I can in Gmax and make them a semi beta (means there still incomplete) but they have no errors in TS09+ but cannot be back dated to TRS06 and lower as they use mesh-library.
I was also trying for a crush load too see how many people we could squeeze in it.
Not every car has passengers "as Gmax would crash allot when making att points"
I also started a 75ft and Refurbished ones along with MTH and BCH, BTH, BIH cars.
but for now, there going to collect dust ;P
Anyways I hope to have them up in Victrainz forum in the next few days or so for those drooling for it as I can't do anything on them till sometime next year when it's converted to 3ds so I can really detail them

When you are working on stuff in gmax, I learned to save-as instead of save. If you name your file "harris001" or similar, click the + button when doing a save-as and it will automatically be named harris002 and so on.
Yes you wind up with dozens of copies which need to be purged occasionally, but if you introduce a problem you can just go back one or two versions until it goes away...
Also make sure the gmax files and texture source files are regularly backed up to a different drive, or dropped to CD/DVD. Avoids lots of heartache in the event of an unplanned disk failure.

Odd what inspires us at times. The was an unusual combo:
1. Don't often take shots with inclement weather.
2. Have never tried to intentionally incorporate a good/appropriate sky for said inclement weather.
3. Never taken a passenger view shot.
4. Got another of Pete's locos operational in TS2010.
... thus conspiring these 2 shots. Different I guess.

Glen, i don't know about you, but i come to these forums, and this thread in particular, to get away from real life for awhile. I don't really wish to be reminded how gloomy that it can get at times.
Still, that said, the works of Forest_Runner are a large part of what makes my time here so enjoyable.:Y: For that i thank you, sir, and say keep 'em coming!:udrool:
Matt.

By the mid-1980's the reliability of the ageing Bluebird railcars began to cause problems on the Adelaide-Mt Gambier services. Here, pristine 966 rescues a pair of cars and is running nearly 3 hours late!! (inspired by actual photograph dated November 1986).

.is that caption from a book called south australian diesel pictoral, the 80's?

A first time for everything,
As long as I have been making stuff I have done "special items or projects" for people with specific requests, most of the time they dont request, I offer to make it.
A couple of days ago I received an email from, I think the term you guys use is a "gimme pig". This email contained a "request" for several pieces of rollingstock and many scenery items.
You know who you are and for the first time since I came here my answer is no. I will not be making these items for you. Perhaps you should learn from the behaviour of the overwhelming majority of users in this forum.
Having said that, I will continue to help route builders and others with specific items they require, but I will not act on what I think was a greedy demand for content.
cheers
