What are "Quilty Meats", exactly?
That's why we have beta testers. As I said better than many.

I want my first upload to the DLS something people will like to use and not just upload something just for the sake of uploading something.
Doing some more research the date is wrong too. I will change it 1883 and just double checked and yes it is spelled Kahn's so I need to remove the 's' from the E. Kahn & Sons Co. sign. I really like adding the name of the city too, great tip. Thanks for your input

Looking Good
Looking much better... one trick you may or may not have tried is simply using a larger texture map, 1024 x 1024 instead of 512^2, for example. No need to change anything inthe config if the name is the same.
Also, and strangely, after creating your texture file with the best possible resolution it sometimes looks better in-game if you smear it just a trifle in your paint program - not "blur" but just "soften" or "unsharpen." The game engine seems to do very well with these, better than sharp edges for some reason.

dose TRS12 let you use 1024X1024 texture maps becuse it all ways gives me a resize error is its not 512X512 thats why i don't change it.
I use MS paint I don't think it has that "soften" or "unsharpen." intsalled.
The new car has a poly count of 1704 here the complet new mesh now being taken out of the shop and ready to be shiped out to her next spet.6666

TS12 can use any power of 2 texture fires so 512 by 512, 1024 by 1024, 512 by 2048, 2048 by 2048 etc. TS2009 and up use DXT compression so the texture file size is much less of an issue than once it was.
If the box car has a poly count of 1704 then its worth doing at least one lod level.
