I want to take this time to personally thank those artists who have volunteered their time and skill to create custom content per my requests.
I understand the fact that you love the work that you do, and that you enjoy a challange from time to time. But your hard work has benefited the entire Trainz community more than I could ever tell you.
The creative custom touches that you provide us are the differance between creating a virtual trainset, and creating virtual reality!
There are so many excellent content creators out there, so I won't deminish their value by burying them in a long list of name. I will feature them a few at a time.
BenDorsey: One of first project I was hoping Ben do for me was NASA's Solid Rocket Booster Cars.
I model the Florida East Coast Railway, and these cars are delivered to NASA via the FEC. Ben wasn't satisfied with one car in one color. He made them in both the yellow and white with removable loads.
I will be needing these cars when I add the NASA railroad to my FEC route. I hope I can find someone who has created (or can create) the space shuttle on its launch pad, and the huge Vehicle Assembly Building, because the NASA railroad is within viewing distance of both.
Ben is a great bridge builder as other Trainz members know. This year, he has modeled ever bridge on the current FEC mainline. It appears that the half-mile long FEC draw bridge crossing the St. Johns River wasn't enough of a challange for him. He is presently stepping back into FEC history to take on the Key West Extension's SEVEN MILE BRIDGE.
Clear off your baseboards folks! This bridge should be amazing!
bnsf50: has become famous in the trainz community for his railroad crossing grades; even though they are only a portion of his great creations.
The FEC route that I am working on contains all 351 miles of the current mainline, plus about 100 miles more of branch lines. With nearly 1000 crossing grades contained in my route, I preferred a "one stop" source with a wide selection of the various crossings I would need.
With bnsf50 crossings, I found the right crossing, not just something that was close. Even better; if he didn't have what you were looking for, Clem could create it (like the bridge-style overheads).
I greatly appeciate the wider crossing grades when modeling South Florida.
Chrisaw: The Florida East Coast Railway headquarters complex in St. Augustine was a "must-have" to complete my route.
Most every FEC fan recognizes this building, and many FEC fans have taken a tour inside of it. It needed to look realistic without creating a massive poly count.
Attendees of the recent FECRS convention were blown away by how well chris used many select photos to create the building. After the finishing touches have been completed it will be difficult to tell the differance between Chris' building and the real thing!
Kudios to these great Content Creators!
I have others that I will thank on other posts.
I bet you have Content Creators that deserve your thanks as well.
Here would be a great place to mention them.
