An advice about those trains: I didn't check the trucks, but the trains you are drawing are way out of TTD scale... I am afraid to tell you that in the scale TTD works, it is impossible to appreciate that a vehicle is made of lego... unless you drew it as made of 2 or 4 pieces...

There's information about train sprite sizes in my drawing tutorials (link in sig)

Actually, it's entirely possible to change the TTD scale if you're willing to redraw everything. I don't see a problem with them using those Lego trains as they are. Basically, each one takes up one square instead of half a square. I believe the Russian set is doing similar experiments.

You know, if you are doing a complete Lego set, then you will also need to replace the company-manager faces with Mini-figures. You can easily have the several different heads, varying shirts, and the different hair and hat styles - there aren't too many.

I tend to differ. I don't know what the russian set intends, but you cannot enlarge train/wagon sprites, only reduce them.

This lego set looks great. Really, it does! :P

Have you done any industries and could you tell me where to get LDraw or whatever its called because io would like to do the industries.

I can't await the train graphics of the 80's Lego sets :D
