Modding assets for trainz

[orangeengine69]

So it's definitely been a while since I last visited this forum (sorry I've gone to college)
During that time I've done some cool stuff, I've gotten really into MSTS conversions my latest one being flying Scotsman

And also this 0-4-0 from sketchfab

I Consulted with the Original author of the 0-4-0 and he allow me to release it publicly with credit of course

Also i learn this rigging technique from Paul hobbs

Stop posting images from discord please.

Stop posting images from discord please.

Why?

It's way faster and I don't have to upload them to the trainz portal which is strange....
And it looks out of place

And also this 0-4-0 from sketchfab

Oh yeah... I forgot this would happen

So this is my latest project. A Metropolitan E class Converted From MSTS, This model is made by Dave Robinson (Twomanydjs)
As of writing this the model is quite barebones just bogey, enginespec, enginesound, interior, and hornsound.
Eventually I want to script it with tc3_script

And also since this model have enough cab detail I'm gonna rig it

Hi. Just found your blog. The only pics still visible are the most recent posting. I think that is why the request to not post from Discord, because they don't stay around very long. Anyway, great work in your post above, and I hope to follow along in the future.

Thanks for the kind words
Even though I wish I can release my MSTS conversions publicly, but for obvious reasons I can't do that
After I got banned from the official trainz discord server after accidentally releasing a reskin of a do not modify model. Because I was still new back then and don't know what licenses are (worst mistake of my life)
I've been pretty careful with what trainz content i show off or release

 

[orangeengine69]

My dream is for these models to be publicly available for everyone to download and use
But as for now the models are released on my discord server and my friends discord server. Because they agree with me that it's cool
(Please don't sue me)
I am not making money off this, I would never do that. all the models are released to download for free and modifications are allowed for private/personal use

 

[orangeengine69]

As for why I've been gone for this long?
The answer is College and personal life things...
As a teenager turning 16 soon I barely have any of my own free time

So this is not just 1 project but an entire group effort and sort of company

RSR collectors edition - Recreating Thai Steam Locomotives in 3D

Thailand is quite lacking in steam locomotives. there are some but they are either payware, impossible to find, or just cheap Reskins.
But our goal here at RSR is custom accurate 3D models with all the bells and whistles release to download completely for free. (also if the model is buggy it will not pass QC)
*Note: there will be some payware content but those will be "special edition" with unique details compared to the freeware stuff.

If you which to support us
- Visit our website: https://sites.google.com/view/rsrcollectorsedition/
- View our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/412670168232470/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT

If anyone ask I'm the creator of RSR collectors edition
So most of the models will be made by me, however we have 4 developers all of which are my friends so we are all on the same page.

Images of the most recent project
RSR/SRT CX50 Drivers (Basic Edition)
This came about when 1 of the developers "bank" ask me to make some custom wheels for his model of the CX50 he's making (which will be a private model)

So I decide to keep the details quite basic to partly save time (because I don't have that much as of typing this)
The actual model for RSR will be more detailed

This is just the 1st test export I'll make the valve gear eventually

Alright so here's the MSTS conversion I'm doing
Ex-Alexandra Docks Railway 2-6-2/GWR #1205

From the now defunct UKTrainSim (someone uploaded the files on internet archive)

 

[orangeengine69]

This project has been ongoing around for 4 weeks now.
I've just exported the body and wheels 2 days ago

 

[orangeengine69]

So I have some updates on the Ex-Alexandra Docks Railway 2-6-2/GWR #1205
The body was exported on 23/07/2025

 

[orangeengine69]

However from the start I have plans to model some fox ears because this engine is so cute

 

[orangeengine69]

Which i did. Just last day

Considering this was the first time I ever sculpted anything in blender it turn out really good

 

[orangeengine69]

Sooo......
Where do we even start?
Well first off I was not expecting to just vanished almost 1 month straight. Yeah my life is a mess my exam is coming up and I'm going on boy scouts this September.
This year is going so fast XoX
So yeah that's why there's been no updates here I barely have Anything to show
