NYC GP9 Pack Released

A new GP9 add-on is available on my website, featuring the entire GP9 'Lightning Stripe' liveried roster of the New York Central railroad. That is eight subclasses of passenger and freight units, in two paint schemes, with long- and short hood forward running versions.

When Lightning Strikes

The New York Central had a very striking paint scheme (if you pardon the pun). Here's my model of it on the new GP9s.

Geeps and Cadillacs

Two new engine add-ons are now available on my website: a Boston & Maine GP9 4-pack, and a Chicago, Burlington & Quincy SD7/9 8-pack. The CB&Q add-on is a joint effort of Micheal Calvin and Dan Vystrcil of Virtual Rail Creations and myself.

Two New Doodlebugs Released

On my website you can now download two new Doodlebugs: the RW&A car previously shown here, and an all new Boston & Maine car.

Doodlebug RW&A Style

Coming soon for the RW&A:

Doodlebug 2.0 now live

The updated Montana Western Doodlebug is now available at my website:

I recommend uninstalling any existing older versions of the model before adding the new one.

Doodlebug Cab

Adding details to the engine block. This is the camera view from the engineer's seat (yes, they really sat that close to the engine on the real MW #31). Must have been quite a noisy and smelly work place, health and safety regulations sure have come a long way since then.

Revisiting an old model

The model of Montana Western #31, an EMC "Doodlebug" Gas-Electric railcar, was one of my earlier models in Railworks, which clearly shows when comparing it to more recent rail vehicle models. An update was needed and has been started last night. The screenshots below show the updated exterior model of the Doodlebug, with tweaked textures, new wheels, better shaders and material settings in use.

Finally! SOU/CofG SD9s Ready for Release

After several delays and a couple of puzzling last minute bugs they are finally ready for release: the Southern Ry. / Central of Georgia (post-merger) SD9s. Textures and idea for those two beauties by Harry Adkins -- thanks!

You can download them now on my website.

RW&A SD9s Scenario Testing

The RW&A Lakeside route has been released today, now it's about time to get final testing for the RW&A SD9 underway. The locomotives should be ready for their freeware release very soon now, and they will come with QuickDrive and two standard scenarios for the RWA route.

These two will be released shortly after the release of  the RW&A Route.

Tatra T3 Public Alpha Version Available

I've just released a public alpha version of the Tatra T3 tram on my website. This alpha version contains a fully working, stand-alone but still incomplete model. You can use it in TS2014 like any other electric engine, all of the key features work.

T3 Insider Info

WIP screenshot of the T3's interior. Those grey metal 'bins' under the (plastic) seats contain the heating, so it is always pretty warm and comfortable in the winter.

Eureka!

Still with placeholder textures on most parts, but already running in the game:
