For being late for class...you have to write 500 times: "I will get a new 2010 Calender".

cascaderailroad,
I was hoping someone would point it out it isn't Apirl Fools day, because the title is no lie.

I do have a new 2010 calendar. So, I said I had a working Electroliner, I do.

Oh that thing is so Retro, Streamlined, Art Deco, Penn Central Green(ish), fugly, that it is almost cool looking It takes an ugly mother, to love an ugly baby !

I bet it was a simple problem fixing someting in the config file ?

PC green? Please, it is torquise and Salmon. I had a shortline in that paint for a while. I find it to be kinda snazzy.

Here's a shot of the REAL Electroloner, I took this shot at the IRM last year...

It's correctly matched in colors. The video distorts the colors a tad and the dark night time (with edited colors) can also deceive.

That is the true color of the texture straight from the locomotive's folder in Trainz.

Please excuse the double post.

No, the Electroliner was originally made by landrvr1. It was so messed up, that it has be converted and changed with the texturing and mesh layout. It ended up changing usernames when the user who took the time to figure out and fix it (stupaja) is now the owner. He had (I think) to redo the bogies in a Hex Editor. I was lucky to have had the fixed Electroliner sent to me from Barry, who got it from Electro, who got it from stupaja when he was around in 2007 when he first fixed it up.

The configuration file needed to be redone as well.

It is very unfair to Landrvr1 to say that it was all messed up. It was built for the original (pre SP3) version of Trainz where one was allowed to only have one bogie and worked perfectly satisfactorily. It was because that later versions of Trainz needed two bogies that it was necessary to modify the meshes by adding a second attachment point and dummy bogie. Incidentally the only correction I needed to get it working in TS2010 was to add a mesh table to the bogey config as it had the pm/missing shadow error.

Teddytoot,
I do not wish to attack Landrvr1, but to praise him.


I intend to make a tribute to him.

ARe you going to be uploading it to the DLS??? :udrool:

Landrvr1's content (modified or not) may not be uploaded but may be distributed by email. That was the condition he imposed.

 

[SantaFebuff]

Also, with that, I find Landrvr1 most interesting for imposing such an idea. I find it like a collecting game.

Landrvr1 created it, so you must follow the rules.
