Very nice I see you decided to go for single cab locomotives in the end and I look forward to seeing some of this in your usual high quality paint liveries

Well I got this in PM
Clip-----
thats a f59phi from train sim you did a lousey just painting to look like you created it ---- end clip.
I agree it looks like one .....So I presume that it basic shape is copyrighted and I can't go any further with it... Prehaps I'll give it a hump in the middle to alter its shape enough, or would that still be wrong?

all I can say is that most north american locomotive designs since the switcher have looked like each other so however the idiot was I suggest they either contribute some code and produce a model or maybe just shut up and appear less ignorant. How many of the models currently on download have not used MSTS to LoMo conversions or are not from Trainsim etc? Not many I'd guess as for copyright to the shape yes but unless you specifically have breached a trademarked shape and that shouldn't be hard to check I'd say carry on afterall you are creating via another platform and designing in blocks that are shown as original work

I have my on thoughts on these. But since someone said someone else made one that looked like it or as they said mine lloked too close to being a copyright issue. I can't think of anyway to show proof I created these. I've shown works in progress and still hit a copyright. So before I release anyof my work I guess I'll have to show my CD-code for TS Modeler.
Too many legalities to distribute anything, I don't see why the others take the time to e-mail the authors to publish their work.
Now if (big if at present) I decide to continue to work on making stock do I have to wait consent from any and everyone that made a unit the looked somewhat like mine? Do I also have to give them credit because I seen some shape that looked like it in MSTS?

This would be the finished product. Now just a matter of waiting and seeing if someone else may have made something similiar to this. Noticw a mid-ship hump. Has a high profile high HP engine

that is a pretty funny diesign, but high HP now days can be made in small packages, I would loose the extra axle at the rear of the locomotive

The B-C design has been tried before and it does seem to work not sure however about the safety factors at speed as the front end will probably "hunt" due to the shorter bogie wheelbase at that point, I would tend to go with a C-B arrangement to give the front end more support. The hump is a good idea just put it down to UIC regulations regarding the use of exhaust silencer systems and say its a DESIGN factor.

Here's a beta version ..... I could not do more than one beta test myself... I left the lomo CD tray sitting on the table when went to store and the cat desided it was a flashy new toy.... Sorry not sure if I got the bogies right

It looks like an RS1375 - or something like that name.
What exactly does this have to do with Farmlands?

Well the I was going to use my version of a crowl type cab but alas Maple Leaf tracks or 3dtrains has a version of that cab and I don't want copyright issues. It does look lots better with the smaller crowl cab.
This topic is for farmland car set. ANd last I checked 99.9% of all long distance trains will go through farmland in US.
Besides the farmland mod topic is locked! I have taken all the files off there because I lacked permission to use certain graphics. As soon as I feel like writing and getting permission (or change graphics to my own) there will be no further work done there. I have 40% of the industry graphics done and run out of ideas for the others.

A number of various gp7/9 rebuild types all of my own creation. Some of these types are already available in mods by others. I'll convert all these to lomo unless I'm informed of a copyright or other reason not to.
