PerRock,
I noticed the thread was closed for a while so I couldn't reply. I wanted to tell you that that stuff you dug up from the Wayback machine is acrually a current sticky on one of the forums. It looks like a Mod beat me to it.
The reason why I didn't quote the sticky was due to my article covers the job from a slightly different direction, or another way of doing it if you like. The article also directs people to the sticky in case they wish to do it that way.
Cvkiwi,
Chris, may I suggest that you remove your email from your post? You could, and probably will be flooded with SPAM. If people need to email you, by clicking on your name which appears at the top of each post you make. That email address is hidden from the public.
Secondly, all the answers you need to need to know about Blender and gMax can be found in the Trainz Resources Directory under Software or Tutorials. You can also use the search box of course. Just click the picture in my signature.
There are other tutorials on the Trainz Wiki
