K&L Trainz Steam Locomotive pics!

The new website is much easier to navigate than the old.
I saw there is a "Deal of the Week" page. I've never bought one of Steve's locomotives before. I thought at $8 for the Frisco T54 Mountain "What the heck. If I don't like it ... ."
OK -- I put in on the track. And immediately went back to the webpage and purchased two more "Deals" -- the C&O/Southern K4 and the N&W A Mallet.
Yes, they are good. Superb.
I know that sounds are a very personal and very subjective. I swapped the sound for one that I personally like better, "Steam Engine Sound - 2 cylinder", kuid:126323:53050
Also the engine spec. The bane of T:ANE is the almost continuous sound of the safety valves. This is particularly noticeable with the built-in K4 and pretty much all other steamers. It's terrible. For those that want to experiment I worked up two alternative especs that "solve" this by releasing a larger quantity of steam in one bigger pop (just pretend it's the air compressor) rather then a continuous stream of hisses. Look for "VR S enginespec 09 revised", kuid:69871:100867 (for smaller locomotives) and "US Big Steam enginespec", kuid2:69871:2132:1 (originally intended for the SP Cab Forward, suitable for larger locomotives and Mallets).
Steve -- I'd like to complement you on the quality of your work. It's outstanding.
Now, for those that want to take their new purchases for a quick spin, maybe here:

Steve has said that there were serious problems with attempting to update the NH F5 #164.
@Steve, on your new site it says "the issue with animated bells not stopping in T:ANE SP2 has been resolved. All models with animated bells have been updated." but I don't see any links to updates on the site?
Edit: The new automated order processing works very well!
This is a screen shot thread after all.
Thanks Steve!

No prob, I spent days trying to fix the 164 with no luck, not that I'm all that great a fixerer. I finally asked Steve about it and he said he had given up on it himself. Maybe someone will commission a replacement someday.

164 will be added to the site soon. It's finally being updated for TANE.

I'm also glad to see a shopping cart added.
But what about purchases before the update? Will they be added to our accounts?

Yay!
Getting this screenshot reminded me of why I should be happy about TANE no matter it's problems.

There has been a shopping cart for almost 3 years.
Anything you purchased in the past will have to be manually added to your account on the site.
Use the support link on the new website and send me a message with your email and i'll get them manually added.

yes thats my name
Yeah I purchased almost everything from the site except the NH conny and the email account was deleted. I do not remember what it was. Oh well, I'll just put the files on a hard drive.
Steve was kind enough to update the new account that I created on his new site with all my past purchases, since this is a manual process it may take awhile to get yours updated. It probably helps that I used the same email for the new account that I had previously been using for my purchases.

As mentioned a few posts above, use the support contact form on the new website and we'll go from there.

I fail to see any extreme dissimilarity

Two sites both made in WordPress, both have a ton of data to show in a confined space. It's what happens.

Nice! I like the new look. Hopefully by the end of this year, or early 2018 I will have saved up the money to buy one of your excellent looking engines!

:wave: Just like to say, I have ordered several items from K&L, what I find:
Quality is top notch, attention to Detail is quite evident. When you see an item you like, you need only check out the well written details, so you know exactly what your purchasing!
Value for money spent?
Without a doubt, great value for money spent!
Customer Support
Respectful and honest, Steve does his best to resolve any issues!
One last item to add, Steve the new Website looks terrific
Thank you Steve for fantastic productions and I'll be ordering more in the Future. Can never have enough rolling stock to play with Trainz.

Hope no one minds, just though I'd like to play with the freeware from K&L while I save up....
Best Polar Express for Trainz ever!
