Hi All,

Thought I'd better show that I am still making stuff for Locomotion (albeit very slowly due to other commitments).

Here are some screenies of a few items that are currenty being worked on by me.

Please remember before posting any comments that these are very much WIP. In some cases the modelling hasn't been finished and none of them are textured properly. Also please remember that none of these are likely to be released before October.

Mods - sorry for the double-post (it was the only way I could attach all the images).

as you said, some more texturing might be necessary, but they look good! especially those tankers, i'm certain that with a little more texturing they're gonna be excellent. :)

Well, here are some more:
Once again, please remember that these are WIP (except the class 52). The cartic needs re-scaling and a lot of finishing work (such as corrected bogies). I'm thinking of making it as four sections to get the shared bogies to work, unless anyone knows of a way to make it work as a single dat.
Mods - apologies about the double-post.

Some more pics of the cartic-4. The cars are models I found on the internet - these won't be used in the final model (I'll make my own for that). The bogies are some that I'd already done. I'll make different ones for the finished model.

One sidenote; i dont know how you want to make those cartrailers, but if you want it the way that you buy it as a MU, then you cant add multiestates, because Locomotion doesnt support that.

Hmmm - I am wondering about those car wagons Jaguar use for their cars (hauled by EWS) - I would post a picture but can't find one (If anyone knows the ones I mean or has a picture - please post it!) - anyway - they run in MU of 4 - no multi-state required!

Why not make all different cars like SUV 's and stuff like that to give it variation.

Thanks for the info IA - looks like I'll have to make separate wagons (end1, intermediate, end2) and let the user make up their own "Cartic".

Andel and graphics-master - one of the things I've got in the pipeline was some car flats, especially for earlier in the game. I was also going to do a variety of loads, with different types of motor and also different ages, but this is well in the future. I was also looking at some well-wagons to carry big trucks and heavy plant. I know it's mainly cosmetic, but I like variety ;)

As an aside, does anybody have some specs for any of these vehicle carriers? I've only got photos to work with, so I'm basically guessing the dimensions, weights and capacities.
