No, not binned. Just waiting to see what the response is. If I had jumped in there and given an immediate response we would not know how strong the un-solicited feeling was for a DMU. As it stands, of the several thousand views of the TC3 related threads there have been 2 requests for DMUs and one post about how unfair it is that no-one's made any. It's hardly an overwhelming clamour is it."Lets see a Multiple Unit of some type for Trainz Classics 3", errr.... yes...
binned, judging by the silence.
Make it to the required standard, with custom cab, full interior, nightmode, changeable liveries/weathering, custom sounds, AWS, ACS couplers, and with no third party contributions, all in the required timescale and with a resonable poly count and texture usage and we'll think about it. Of course you'll also need to be prepared to change it several times to make use of new features if required."Unless Mike, you're saying "make it and get it to us by x date and then we might think about it".
If somebody makes something that is of the required standard and meets all the criteria for something the group is working on then we will take contributions and offers.Judging by the way the group works, contributations and offers are not really that......... well thought of, are they?
Send me another $64,000 and I'll tell you as well.Mike will; it be before the Kuji release
The desire for DMUs is in our conciousness, so the ball has started rolling. How far it will roll is another matter entirely.Mike, I know that a hard core of about six of us would love a whole fleet of DMUs! They were a fact of life in our golden days. Now if they will second me the ball might start rolling.

I am reliably informed, that local services were steam hauled until after 1967.However, what were the units that worked local trains in the 60s on the S&C I wonder?
Keep an eye on http://www.trainzclassics.co.uk We will be keeping it updated regularly and it will be our means of showing everyone the progress.Once the comments and suggestions have been digested by the team, what do they have in mind as to how information on progress should be made? On one hand, we know that the project will be simmering in the background, and so a big announcement about a month before release date might be ideal, to avoid the speculation and silliness that has been prevalent until recently on the KRS Forum. On the other hand, everyone is eager for up-to-date news, so perhaps an announcement on a certain date each month could be made to avoid frustration. It will be interesting to see how they will deal with this dilemma.
All taken as constructive Bruce, don't worry.I hope these are taken as constructive suggestions. I know all the types of coaches I mentioned could not possibly be included in TC3, but the more people who write in with their preferences, the more chance there is of the team taking their preferences seriously.

We do work with people outside of the core team, we do, and have, use content by other people. We have also asked some people to contribute content and they've turned us down.... it is a two-way street, sometimes our solicitation isn't..... 'well thought of' to use your words.
If anyone feels they have something they would like to contribute towards the release then I am more than happy to talk to them if they'd like to mail me. I would say though....
....that I feel we have a reputation as a team for the quality of our work, and that won't be compromised. (apologies if anyone thinks that sounds arrogant)
It also strikes me that most people take the easy way out with models, passing off a Mk3 reskin as a Wessex or a 153, but hang on, aren't most people only interested in modelling accruately than quickly?
Well, I think I am known for my support of 1st generation DMUs almost as much as my obsession with Mk1 coaches.....so, yes, I'd love to see a new DMU for TC3!

Hmm, does this point towards a need for some non-corridor local/suburban coaching stock for steam haulage? Coincidentally, I recall that WEN brought out a couple of examples of such stock last year. Perhaps these could be developed further?I am reliably informed, that local services were steam hauled until after 1967.
Somewhat after the time period we had in mind.
