Hello Tim
I like the palm tree's, the engineer and brakeman look like there enjoying them too.




I did a repaint already. See looks like the picture on My desktop.



Cheers Tony :angry2:

That's a great photo of E50 and I suggest that everyone expand the picture to gather in all that delicious detail, not only on the GE's, but the roundhouse too. One of the best of these fine old machines. Thanks, Tony.

I highly recommended the sound upgrade. It makes them sound so 'alive'.

Yes, same here, highly recommended from this camp. I did a little tweaking on the E29 and E34 car body textures today - just didn't like the orange "glow".















A little better...

I love your screen shots. I will be adding these to your "All Time Great Screen Shots by Tim Muir" album.

Tim, The toned down orange looks much more realistic for units that have been used for a while. I really like those.

Thanks, Jim. I've been doing a little work on the E39's and have animated the pan on the A-unit:









Also been tweaking the textures since that last screenshot :



I work on these a couple of hours here'n' there now and then, it's been good therapy.

Tim, it's great to see you working on the boxcabs again. The textures look better than ever, and the Animated pan is a Fantastic development. :)

Here are a few more Milwaukee Boxcab shots.

And here is a re-skin I have been working on (slowly)

Hey Tim, I un-compressed the Ace for the body side, replaced the texture for the body, and re compressed, all with TGA tool. but the side still shows as having the red and cream like in the shot. Do you know how I could fix that?

[timmuir]

Yeah, animating the pans is way overdue. Don't know about animating all of them though. Milwaukee usually ran with only one pan up, but have seen occasional photos with two, sometimes three up on the EF-5's.

Zach, look for the ace file, ExtPanel.ace. I tiled it across the length you see in your screen shot.

some Dutch Class 1200 traction action! I still love this locomotive... they resent toke them out of service. (after driving around for over 50 years!)






The route as you guys can see is still W.I.P. and is an 1960-1970 fictional dutch electric short line.

Hi Tim,

There is a feature in the last version of BIN that allows for the independent raising and lowering of Trolley poles or pans. I have explained it before here: http://www.elvastowe...action-and-bin/

This thread deals with the application to 3rd rail/overhead wire routes (which I still think is a plausible arrangement :) ), but the principal still applies. You, Tim, could make the pans separate, to allow the user to select which pan (or pans) is up.

And secondly, I got the color changed on the side of the PAYE car, I'll post screens later when I'm further along :)
