btw, when exporting a model from msts to loco, i would recommend setting the y-of to -0.2 as it brings the model up to the height of the default models

MD, your SPT models are just perfect, I can recreate suburban networks with a Glasgow feel to it. Great work, I hope more is to follow.

BTW, the 318 also sits on the tracks PERFECTLY, rather than a little off-centre. Any clue why that is?

Hehe. It was a thought that occured to me a couple of days ago and thats the 1st train i've done it with, the Class 92 should also be like this.
I may start updating the already released models to incorporate this aswell.

I think thats a superb idea.
Almost everything i hate will be gone from conversions then, and the shadows really dont bother me thaaaat much, makes for a FAR more enjoyable game.
Thanks very much guys!!
PS - Chance of a 312?? Im happy to find stats and pics for you if its needed. Let me know!

hmmm a 312, atm i dont have any plans for a 312, don't know about andel and IA. I have a 303 which has a similiar front end but it aint a perfect conversion. I may look into it tho...

Hey, nice, but what's up with the GNER livery?
Those trains are dark blue, not black. Can you make it a little less black and a little more blue/lighter blue? It looks good, but not quite right!

It's on my list to find...
I like the GNER's, but for me they're a little too dark... but that's just me.
As you can see below, another couple of trains have been added... a SWT 442 Wessex is soon to come...

The Royal Mail EMU is a great idea!
I mean there really isn't away to carry enough Mail, later in the game.
This is really good stuff, well done ya?

its good, but needs a little more work. the Blue needs to be lighter (only slighty) and shinyer, and the engine/dummy
engine needs to have more of a slope to it.
Other than that, not bad

MD, I have a sight problem with the 319s. The capacity according to the scenario editor is 63 passengers, is this not incorrect? and how can I edit this? Or could you edit this problem as I think it may be the same for everyone else who has downloaded it.
Regards

Hey,
I also think that the GNER aint that good but it was only a quick import into the game i done. As for making it lighter, the darkness is due to the fact that i had to convert the model into a 256 colour palette and i may not be able to make this lighter, altho i will have a wee dabble in photoshop to see if this is possible. Also for the slope of the front of the model, nothing i can do as its an import from MSTS, and this model is way down my list of things to do, i just got bored last night and knocked it up.
As for releases thompson_fan, there are some already avaliable, i will be releasing a few a week and as far as i know IA and andel with release a pack, as for an eta, you'd have to speak to them.
Citylinks it should have a capacity of 319 passengers, but i'll look into it.
EDIT: So it was, now the 319's have been updated
