Trainy1: How would you go about reskinning tracks for Trainz. I have taken a couple of pictures of abandoned railroad track but am not sure how to reskin the track or use my picture as a texture for the track. Would it be possible to use my picture on JR track. I've seen some great reskins of the concrete and wooden JR track.

I am no where near an expert with re-skinning track. All I did was tinker with the current textures in Photoshop. I am sure you can implement your own textures keeping in mind how everything is mapped. Sorry, I am only just entering the wonderful world of re-skinning :).

So I guess you're making ALL the L&N 4-6-2s?

No. :hehe: I had only intended on making the 152, but after I got done with it I came across a picture of L&N #168 (a later sister of 152) in an old L&N Magazine of mine. So I decided to make it too. But on the 168, I didn't do anything extra besides re-number the skin.

I've been thinking about possibly releasing the 152 (and maybe 168) if people took enough interest in them, but there hasn't been that big of a response so far... We'll see.
 
Impressive looking route Trainy1. Is that a WIP route that you are working?

BTW, While I like looking at the screenshots and appreciate the people who share their screenshots. It would just be helpful if the people who posts the screenshots said what route it is and if it is a WIP or not. I am not trying to start a flame war here with anybody, But just be helpful with some people to know if it is a WIP route, Personal route (not for release), or a route that someone can find on the DLS or somewhere else. This way, We don't get people asking what route it is like myself who asked above. That is all I am saying

If you really want to gauge peoples interest, make a post in General or Freeware about it and ask who wants it. Post a couple screens. You'll get the response you're looking for promise.... This board is LOADED with people that will happily clamor for ANY steamer they can get their hands on, and much appreciate any well done one. Honestly, I could say if you're worried about interest, load it up, make a post in Freeware, and watch the DL's climb to 4 digits within a week....

Thanks Falcus, I'll try that.

I LOVE THAT PHOTO! I would love to eventually have a route that looks THAT good!

*cough* Sorry. My inner gimme-pig just took over. That's *ahem* a really nice route, Jack. I like your new signature, too.

Keep calm and stay calm,
