I see a dutch Veolia and a dutch Arriva... Where are the electric versions?

[strongbow]

You have to do them - this is a diesel only pack.

Just stick a pantograph on the top of the powerpack and ready.

Nice DMU's, you can even see the portrait of the celeb on the Veolia one.

thats a mock up image?

the text on the middle power car seams to be under a wrong angle, but nice lomo version

[strongbow]

Yes, photoshopped Capital Metro GTW probably. I'll update the livery once the real one is out - 2011?

[strongbow]

One more thing, I'm getting a bit annoyed by people telling me my vehicles are too big, so I made measurements.

I compared the width of the standard track in Locomotion with my Capital Metro GTW. Seems actually the vehicle should be even bigger in relation to the track. If 8 pixels is 1435mm, then the GTW with its 3000mm should be roughly twice the size - 16 pixels. It is 14 pixels wide right now.

The game default TGV is also 14 pixels wide and according to Wikipedia 2900mm wide in real.

Thoughts welcome...

[Martin1990]

wont twice the size clip terrible?

and it whould not fit in with anything anymore...

[strongbow]

Not twice the current size, twice the track width. Meaning 2 pixels wider than it is.

Right now, the GTW (3000mm) is the same width as the TGV from the game (2900mm) - 14 pixels.

Or are the trains squashed vertically as well, not just lengthwise? I don't suppose though as mine are usually touching the wires.

They look fine to me. Allthough I do play the game, not try to find ways to critasize free stuff. I love free stuff......

[noofnoof]

To be honest, even if they are a little out of proportion, it's not like you are going to have trouble squeezing them into a 16 length platform. and the bigger they are the more detail, and the prettier they look.

@tracer: must you spam up every topic?

[Martin1990]

ah i get it now, i guess it whould be more acurate, but i doubt you'll realy notice, and i like them the way they are
