Little Joe lives!!!!! AMAZING work dude.

Speaking of the South Shore...would anyone happen to know any good modern CSS sounds for their EMU's?
 
It seems that they prefer to run it with the rear pantograph up. Note: In this scene in the video, it's running backwards.

Little Joe FTW! If you have audio files for it I could possibly make one...

Thats interesting. Don't see many electrics that run with the panto up like that. Usually it is the one on the other end that is up. Right now on the model the pantos are not animated and are a WIP. Still got to figure that out with blender.

Thanks to that vid, I now realize how much stuff I need to add and fix XD.

Transferred most of the route over to the DEM. Still got a bit of work to go, including buildings and more detailed catenary as well as signals.
 
I'm finally back (moving was a freaking nightmare).

Do you still need me to make the various car barns?

Ben
 
Yes please! That would be great! We could always use some help. We can get you measurements and have loads of reference shots as well.
 
Matt, you have been asked to do your own work and to not come into this thread and stir up trouble. Do not make me report your posts. Please leave peacefully.

Ben is a talented creator and I am sure his creations would be welcomed by all no matter whose project they show up on.

Can Ben not create for various projects at the same time?

Well I just heard from bendorsey and he says that he accidentally posted here instead on my thread so sorry guys for the confusion
 
Whoops, Sorry for the misunderstanding Ben.

Might as well give the project an update
EF4 has been rebuilt and is awaiting textures.

Thanks!

I have an announcement to make. In order to make this the most accurate route out there for IRM, we are asking if anyone would like to help out with the project. Any talents are welcome, whether it be modelling, reskinning, or route building. :)
 
I might can help a bit over Christmas break. I'm a fairly good reskinner (not top notch by any means but I can get the job done) and so so with textures and scenery. What do you need me to do? I'd prefer to reskin.

Edit: Quick sample, it's just a simple patch job but I put a lot of work into recreating the logo and the like, also probably my best weathering job to date.

Quite honestly, this isn't a bad skin at all. Right now I'm bogged down, so I'll open up some discussion within the group.
 
I definitely wouldn't be against helping with some route build over break as well, maybe around the 21st or so, depending upon how much I work over the break time may be able to be used up doing some skinning and route building work, mainly route building. Just let me know if you guys could use the help, over skype if you could trainman probably has it AFAIK.
