City of Truro was the first steam loco to exceed 100mph http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWR_3440_City_of_Truro. I would love to see a City in Locomotion, it's on my list of things to do if I ever master MSTS to Lcomotion conversions.
No it wasn't, that record fell to an L&Y highflyer ;).

I'd like to see Pikka do the only 4-6-2 to ever "grace" GWR, The Great Bear. I'm not sure if he does still mod things for Locomotion, but the next time I see him, I'll ask him about it.

Is the Super D still in, or being left out? I can provide photos if you decide to keep it in.
It was a very popular class at the time, all over the LNWR region. Very powerful too. And looks good too! :)

Wow! Those models are cool :D . Can they be converted to Locomotion, or is that just a stupid question?

Aren't they already in there? I don't remember.

Anyway, I'm not doing anything with Locomotion any more. :( TTDP is still where it's at. :)

I'm just recently paying attention to LoMo. I think PikkaBird is probably right though, because there's a limit to how fancy your networks can get in LoMo without the advanced signalling of PTTD, and the limited space. But, the graphics are loads better, for sure. I'd at least give a BR set a play or two, just to see them going on their way. 8) Be nice to combine sets with the other more modern BR set.

I find with the BR set and similar, there's simply too much choice - almost more than you'd normally see in real life unless you travelled around a lot or lived near a main terminus.

Some pre-1930 steamers are a must, though - the starting selection in Lomo is as pitiful as the lack (by default) of a carriage that lets the locos properly stretch their legs.

It would have been nice to see this project. But it is up to Pikkabird, after all.

The day that OpenTTD works with everything from TTD patch is the day I'm very happy... when a train car is only half a square long, suddenly the maps seem a LOT bigger.

Born Acorn, what is that in your avatar? I'm trying to figure out what it is...

Hmm; here's A loco i've been wanting to make with blender; but it may take A LOT of time. "BigBoy"(4*8*8*4).

If any of you guy's can make it, and know how to make it useable in locomotion, would be grand.
Sadly, I havent been told what to do after I make the model in blender and create the X amount of png's.

wow long time since I posted on here, anyway I have been thinking of making the bigboy, only thing is my locos keep looking odd (the sprites never go on right, I think its a xml problem).
I've still got a train to finish (I think it was the Ivatt 2MT, all the sprites done, but the xml is the problem), I'll give someone the sprites if they don't mind doing the other bits.
