Does the trainz team plan on making R1, R12, R15, R17, R30, R32, R32 GOH and R40 Slant avatars? I can't make one myself because I can't draw. 
New avatar requests - Not sure if this is the right place
- Thread starter freightcar2
- Start date
The Trainz team doesn't do the art. Someone else needs to create the image and submit it to the Helpdesk. It needs to meet the size limits for avatars.
For the record, you don't need drawing skills. I started with a screen capture of one of the monorails in TRS2006 and tweaked the image down to an acceptable size.

FC2, why not do a capture of a Trainz(1) item, or a take a photo of either the real carriages, or model for that matter, and use them in your signature - but make sure the photo is reduced to fit the signature limits.(2)
1. But I'm not sure if captured shots of items in train simulators break any copyright or not.
To administrators/moderators, I wonder if other captures of other train simulators are allowed to be used in signatures, especially if the item/s aren't available in Trainz, and wonder if non train/tram stuff is allowed in signatures?
2. Reducing photos/captured shots most likely means slightly sharpening them.
EDIT: Forget to say, what's the go with using avatars in signatures?
PS: What, no Red Rattlers for avatars? :'(

A "Red Rattler"?

Red Rattlers
NOTE: The video & my captured shots were from a VHSC film, so quality isn't the best
For NSW:
Sample of Red Rattlers in this video here (And yes I do know that part of the video repeats itself.)
Offically, the double decks in that consist were known as Tullochs, but still part of a Red Rattler consist. (Search for B-set or B Set, Tullochs or maybe Red Rattler on various simulator sites for downloads)
No quoting of my images permitted

Red Rattlers (my image)
And these 620/720 class rail motors were sometimes incorrectly called Red Rattlers, even while in this colour. An earlier colour to these was this:

For Victoria & Queensland:
NOTE: The rest are NOT my photos links.
Photos of some versions of ex-suburban trains also nicknamed Red Rattlers.
See Vicsig's webpage here (Tait's & Swing Doors)
Queensland also had loco-hauled suburban trains nicknamed "Red Rattlers", but I don't know the offical name for them, although they may be on the various simulator download sites.
