Gee, I'm sorry to hear that. Was he an old guy like me and his time was up? My condolences go out to all his friends, btw.
Does this mean we can't offer his re-skinned/modified content to the public anymore? (Hell of a question to ask after hearing this news, isn't it?)

OK, folks, here's the final 'color' I'm sticking with as a 'new painted' version of this wonderful caboose. I've also toned down the solid wood doors a bit. http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/2213/cab2mt8.jpg http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/2171/cab3uy4.jpg Next version will be an old worn well u...

Holy Toledo, Ben. What narrow gauge fanatic wouldn't? :D YES! Please I would like it to look well used. Open tool box, chains hanging off a little, a tool or two laying around. Catch my drift? I don't want a 'new' one. I'm not sure about rusty but, well used and dirty would be a dream come true. Oh,...

Here's a little update.
I've toned down the red a bit and added solid wooden doors for now....

Thanks a bunch. I love a little input, be it good or bad. Constructive criticism is the key to doing better work. Keep it coming, I can take it... :lol: I have darkened this little jewel nicely and will work on those wheels for ya, too. Aging it will be my pleasure... :D Unfortunately, I can't skin ...

I agree with you, Ben, the color is a little too bright. I was trying to copy this one, http://carsoncarshops.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=83 but it came out too pink in-game. (I'm still adjusting.) The window frames and the copula are using the same mapped area. That was a little disappointing when I ...

Here's another potential project. The Caboose.

Ken, I'm sharing this one only because you may be interested. It's the first attempt to re-skin the caboose and it looks a little pink in the game, (got to adjust this), but if you want me to continue, I will. Obviously, this was a quick re-skin and there's a lot of work to do yet. Do you want the E...

Well, I'm just startin' but when KUJU comes out I think I'll be moving on.

I understand the MSTS2 sim will be for Vista only OS's. It's the one I wanted but I'm NOT moving to Vista for it.

Welcome back... :)

I'm sure I do. I see it's going to be a little more then I thought so I've put it off for now. I do understand what I have to do and that was one of my plans was to find a similar model to work with.

Thanks again, Curtis... :)

Beautiful!!! And, no copula. Great shots for a modeler... Unfortunately, I can only re-skin, (re-paint), what is already there. I can't alter the original model, I'm afraid. We would have to get one of the talented GMax guys around here to build one for us. Sorry. What I can do is, make it red and p...

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you on this...

I've been fooling with this and haven't gotten it down yet. When I remove the above mentioned, I get a very blank config file that doesn't work anymore. I apparently don't know enough about it, yet.

I wanted to thank you anyway, though... :)

This little narrow gauge jewel by Elvenor is a project I want to encounter. I've already removed the road name. I thought I'd leave the number 3 and age it with old runny paint. I think I can age this baby nicely... :)
