LRC is cool! both the real one and DanMack's work. the short and low carriage says it's a high-speed train set.

Well I drew them 2 pixels lower than regular passenger cars, so that would kind of defeat the purpose wouldn't it?

Really, it's only 2 pixels shorter? I thought it was like 4 shorter. Huh. I guess I'm not real good at estimating distances.

Question here... did the LRC ever used to run double-headed? Because I was lucky enough to ride it once from Montreal to Toronto just befoer they started decommissioning the LRC engines, and I seem to remember our train was really long with an engine at both ends, like an Acela Express of Class 43.

Yes, LRC's were originally designed as push-pull with a power car at both ends. Damn I miss those things.

You NEED the Calgary C-Train, maybe just for passenger purpouses and even get the passenger count exactly right.
Since i live in Calgary i can get you photos of the C-Train and the count of people in 1 passenger car.

Well, if I do that, why not add TTC Subway cars or Vancouver Skytrain?

Sure, Why not?

Well, since it looks like Raven's got the Japan Set Steamers under control, and I refuse to let this thread drop off the bottom of the board for very long, here's a slight update on what's goign on. I've got to revise the boilers on my CPR steamers a bit, but here are the locomotives and cars I have drawn (sides only) for.

More on the way shortly.

Looks nice! I suppose this one will be for the Arctic environment?

DanMacK · Post by **DanMacK** » 27 May 2004 21:00

Yeah, and possibly the Temperate climate too. It's not ALL snow and ice up here

No, and that's the truth. I was in Montreal last summer and it was ABSURDLY HOT AND HUMID. I mean, we're talking Panama here. It was awful, I went home early.

If you don't vote for the Liberals, I'll complement your work!

Blatant Bump...

Here is the revised image of the Canadian locos (and coaches) I have done. Some have been repainted and other have been redetailed. Eventually I plan to get a trackign page up for this set. Once I actually get some spritesets finished, I'll get a page up. More progress soon, just need to conplete my work on the USSet first.

Can i do this loco?

DanMacK · Post by **DanMacK** » 15 Jul 2004 10:56

Actually singapore kid, I've already got it started (see below).

Not really looking for help on this right now, merely doodling and seeing what I can draw, how it looks and if a Canadian set is viable. If I need help, I'll definitely ask ya'.

Nice work Dan, cannot wait to get these in gameplay. Canada has (had) a suprising ammount (<-why does that look wrong?) of trains.

Not to go OT, but in Northern Alberta, we're in the middle of a "drought" one might say. Hasn't rained for over a month, and we have to grow crops and support cattle!!
