Frankly i'm not gonna stop building this as ive done so much to it now. I know I will never match up to eldavo or that this model will be any better than eldavo's cause i havent got that skill yet but I think everyone who is against me doing it is very selfish! what about the people who can't afford to just go "ooooh that's nice" then order it straight away?
OUCH!! Calm down RJ! Firstly, I tried to be mild in my suggestion, in reality, there is no point to build A) something that is already done, you'll know what I mean after some experience and B) do something and move onto something else half way through (as per me). But this is my personal belief and experience.
I am talking from experience here, yes, some locos you create are extremely easy to create and can be done in a lessor timeframe than it takes me to make a "super bubble", but in the end, we do it because we enjoy doing so. Arguably, we should be free to produce what we want but some do have a huge influence of what we should produce.
I still get to this very day that the 117 needs updating, it needs passengers and other variations. Or we need more first gen DMUs. Or something simliar. Yes, that is partially true, we also need a lot of second generation DMUs, but who is going to produce them and for how long?
Sometimes, demand is greater than supply and supply can be short, so someone has to give in somewhere.
(Oh, there are many items I have been asked to create, but due to the list mounting and the work flowing, I have had to refuse. The A-Train was a good example of something I couldn't create, the 442 with a pantograph is another and I have had other requests. Basically, everyone and anyone wants everything and everything. I hope I made sense in this forum message).
RJ, its best to sit and think things through. I do understand about your situation and reply, being a content creator can be agonising and fustrating but I have had 6 years of it, just ask Louise_T and Electra!

EDIT:
By the way RJL, you may want to note that human selfishness is a fault by design, but also a strength in some respects. If we didn't have some sort of selfishness in society, some areas wouldn't of succeeded as much as they have now, the Personal Computer would be one, railways another. Quite simply, because people want to make money, if you want to make as much money as possible, isn't that selfish itself?
