evilcrow: Your mods of legacy models are great, I am also making some tests, but so far didn't reach such great look. I would be interested to see the setup for particular materials/textures ;-)
 
re post #7021 JAGG
Hello JAGG,
You will need;
JNR C5549 4-6-2 Hokkaido-3 <kuid:438196:55491> by "keimei" and the Tender
IM Editor https://contentcreation.trainzsimulator.com/im-editor-edit-im-files/ use "tbumpenv"
PevSoft Trainz Tools http://trainz.shaneturner.co.uk/tutorials/index.php/home/utilities/pevsoft-trainz-tools
Trainz Mesh Viewer2. Shows what goes where
Images2TGA. Make Normal Map, Merge Alpha, Image Fix Uniform Error
TextureTXT. Generates the Texture File TXT
Paint.net Effects Blurs Smart Blur at the default setting (Radius 3 Strength 0.10)
Make a clone and carry out any changes to the config that you may wish.
Whilst open look for tga image "c55e49" and for convenience rename to "c55e" and also IN the texture.txt file c55e.
Open the TGA in Paint.net and go Effects.....Blurs.....Smart Blur at the default setting (Radius 3 Strength 0.10) and save.
Keeping the TGA open now go Adjustments.....Black and White, now save in the image format BMP as c55e.BMP
Keeping the clone open, use Images2TGA to open the TGA image "c55e" go File.....Merge Alpha Image and save (I use Save As for most things)
Now go TextureTXT and it will generate the correct txt file.
Now do the same for "c55e_nor" TGA. A point to remember is that the Alpha image will effect the "shiny" look of the loco, a mid gray should be acceptable.
Open "c55e49.im" in IM Editor (Professional mode), in the tree, Object1...material, change "bodym.tbumpgloss" to "tbumpenv" and Okay it
You will delete the Reflection texture "env_metal.texture" by using the red X causing the warning and red box to disappear (hopefully)
Change the Bump Texture amout to say 16.
Now look at Object 12 ....material.....change the Material from tbumptex to tbumpenv and give the Bump texture an amount of 16
Save and save everthing now and view the model.
Always work on a clone. The BMP can be deleted once finished but you can keep if you wish for future ref.
You can of course alter the"c55e_main" image if you wish.

As far as i know "proper" dual gauge tracks are not avaible for trainz, however they should be pretty easy to make in the route editor itself by compenetrating different tracks.

Here i've used Samplaire's 1435mm and Rizky's procedural 1067mm tracks, combining the two to get a double-gauge track (the train here is a 1435mm gauge 719-5000 Series).

This system allows you to have realistically independent 1435mm and 1067mm gauge tracks, as it is in reality, as trainz treats these as two separate tracks, even if they're one within the other, meaning you can get "1067mm only" or "1435mm only" junctions, or both but as two separate ones. However, it also has a downside, first of all, the 1435mm and 1067mm you're going to use must be as similar as possible (the result here is the best i could do, and it isn't optmal by a long margin) and signalling will be very difficult to get right, as with two separate tracks, a signal will be only activated by either only the 1067mm or the 1435mm trains, as in traiz a signal can refer to one track only, whereas in reality signals are wired to both gauges).
 
Evilcrow,

Those material updates really help make keimei's locomotives look so much better in TRS19. I too have been wondering where keimei went. I've been working on a D51 and C57 on and off, hopefully one day they can see the light into Trainz.

No, I mean that the track model of 1067 and the track model of 1435 are combined to form a new track. I have three sets of tracks of 600 + 1067 + 1435, but I think this is too complex, and the track of 600 gauge is not commonly used, so I want a track of 1067 + 1435.

I just discovered something, the KHB paid motorcycle package I bought before, I found that the EF210 was missing in it, and there was this bike in the promotional picture, but I didn’t have it after I imported it, because I purchased it on behalf of me. If I need to provide proof of purchase, I can put it Chat records are sent out (Chinese to Google Translate)
 
re post #7027 Railwoodman
Matt, thank you for the compliment.
re post #7028 GDennish.
It is nearly 10 years since "keimei" last visited the Forum. I hope that your locomotives see the 'light of day' soon, a JNR tanl loco would be very nice.

JNR WIP

I'm currently building a route with 1600mm and 1435mm tracks set in Melbourne, Australia (my hometown) with this same problem. You can see it on my screenshot here on the left-most track. Interlocking towers can solve this problem in theory
