I am posting this request here because I know that there are a number of serious (and very talented) modelers on ET. Sadly, it seems that interest in modeling is just plain dying over at Tsim, aside from some Indian equipment and some repaints of existing (often old crude) models. MOW equipment is great as both interesting objects to see during an activity, or to operate. Here is a screenshot of some existing equipment in the sim to illustrate.


Here are some items that I believe would be great additions in high-detail models:
Hi-rail pickup (my photos here--I have several photos if a modeler is interested)



Hi-MOW truck (I may have some good photos of this, but I haven't located them yet.)
Tamper
Ballast regulator
Excavator (scenery object)
Side-boom bulldozer--also called a pipelayer dozer (scenery object)
Hi-detail backhoe (scenery object)

I do not want this to sound like I am a "gimme pig"--in fact, I would gladly pay for these models as payware if they were produced. Like many, there are things that I am good at in the sim, but modeling is not one of them. As always, thanks to all who contribute to the OpenRails sim.

Hi.
Up to date, there are wrecker crane, crane with hook/greifer, grinding trains, tampers, self-loading car... may forgot something else.

^My operative word is "high-detail." Most of the MOW equipment that I know of that is currently available is pretty low detail (and often low accuracy) stuff produced years ago.

In most - yes, but cranes are pretty nice.
