Good idea to set up a list of vehicles first we want to do. I'll have a look at the list; I'll get back to you on Monday.

Cool,

I'll have a look for stuff to add to the list during the weekend!

Very useful comment, Akalamanaia [/ironic]

jamesvassie, it seems you have difficulties drawing the nose correctly, which is indeed the most difficult task. Maybe start with some simpler trains? Anyways, you need practice. I redrew all my old trains from the Dutch set too. Probably something you need to do later too. But as long as you keep practising. Meanwhile, try some easier shapes.

Cheers!

I aint gonna give up!

Do you think the Re460 posted earlier needs any more work done?

Purno needs to update his tutorials, those goldpass graphics look waay too squarish

Try adding textures to the front, like so

Thanks for your help!

I understand about the panto's, for the logo, do you mean it needs to be at the back-end as opposed to the front-end? I understand the front light, for the / and \ views, do the windows need to be less tall and moved down slightly. For the top section in the _ view, can it be that high? What is the max pixel height for that view? The bit under the loco i can do prety easily.

Cheers
James

I don't know anything about height limits, only length limits...

jvassie · Post by **jvassie** » 23 Apr 2005 13:24

I know there must be at least a visual limit on / and \ views, when a train enters a tunnel, it would clash.

SingaporeKid, how do you mean by texturing?

Cheers
James

I mean, by adding a range of colours to make the surface look round
Unfortunately, the yellow that you use is difficult to work with, so it ends up making it look worse
So I just revised all I could

except, its still missing some windows on the roof part..(just make 1 pixel windows..)
or you could make the train 1 or 2 pixels higher and do 2 pixel windows..

This is my list of railway companies to include :

. SBB - Schweizerische Bundesbahn
. BLS - Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon
. RhB - Rhätische Bahn
. FO - Furka-Oberalp Bahn
. BVZ - Brig-Visp-Zermatt Bahn
. SOB - Schweizerische Südostbahn
. BT - Bodensee-Toggenburg Bahn
. MOB - Montreux-Berner Oberland Bahn
. ZVV - Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (S-Bahn), including Bremgarten-Dietikon Bahn (BD), Forchbahn (FB), Sihltal-Zürich-Uetliberg (SZU)

plus major trains visiting Switzerland from Germany, Austria, Italy and France.

So far I have only looked closely at BLS (Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon); this is my must include list of BLS locos :

. BLS Ae 4/4
. BLS Ae 6/8
. BLS Ae 8/8
. BLS Re 4/4
. BLS Re 465
. BLS Class 485

. BLS Ce 4/4

as well as the following 2 wagons; these would make excellent trains, nowhere found in any trainset yet:

. car carrying wagon (car carrying service between Kandersteg and Goppenstein through the Lötschberg Tunnel); used in TT for passenger services.
. low truck carrying wagon (HUPAC service between Germany and Italy); used in TT for goods carrying services.

These SBB locos, just come to mind and I haven't seen them on the list :

. SBB Ce 6/8 (the famous crocodile)
. SBB Re 6/6
. SBB Ae 4/7

Yep, i agree with that list of companies!

Some of them:

SOB
BT
ZW

you might have to do as i know nothing about them!

Cheers
James

I can't wait to see the full list of trains

Windows should be bigger

By these i suppose you mean ICE, TGV, Cisalpino etc
I dont know much abou the austrian ones.

James

Purno · Post by **Purno** » 24 Apr 2005 09:20

And what about the TEE?

jvassie · Post by **jvassie** » 24 Apr 2005 10:14

Good point Purno!

I think the list would be for international trains:

ICE (1 & 3, not sure about 2)
TGV (Lyria, similar to TGV Reseau)
Cisalpino (ETR470)
TEE

And the EuroCity? Or isn't that a special train?
