Before I say anything else, I have searched for the train mentioned below on this forum using multiple keywords but cant find anything.
Basically I have OpenTTD and Im a bit tired of the normal trains, I would like to put some trains that I see a lot where I live into the game but cant find any of them. I dont know much about trains so I shall show you a picture of the one I would like:
I was wondering if anyone knows where I could find one of these trains for Transport Tycoon Deluxe.
I see the number 465235, so that means it's class 456. But anyway, this train isn't available yet. It's third-rail powered, so it's even impossible to put this train into TTD, because TTD Patch only supports normal track and track with catenary.
hmm
To be totally honest, I dont really care if the game has no third rail, Im not really fussy about realism like that.
I just really like those trains despite them always smelling of god knows what and being late and having a stupid system of power (dangerous!)
Talking about NewRoutes, how is the progress? Two weeks ago there was a topic about that, but when I got back from holidays I couldn't find it any more. I'm a little confused about that.

I'm open to suggestions for the BR Set still, but they have to be substantiated. No offence or anythin, but "I like them" isn't substantial .
heh, I see where youre coming from.
Well, I have been doing a little spriting..
and no, Im not very good... at all..
uh, well here is what I made. Its not really accurate as it would be for my own use only. The shading is not very good either.
Is it okay if the carriges are that long? the other train is awful stubby
anyway this was just me having a first not-very-serious go.
Holy s***! That's damn fine for a first try. Very good indeed. Obviously, as you state, they aren't in the proper scale, but you have the proper shape and angles, and those are the hardest parts! I'd say you're one week away from drawing perfect TT sprites. I'm looking forward to seeing more work of the new principal artist of the BR Set.

hehe thanks
I cant see myself becoming principal artist of the BR set though
I see other trains on this forum that are much better!
I have found a tutorial that says the trains can only be so long, which is a shame..
also to be totally honest it isnt my first go at sprites, its my first go at TTD sprites but I drew some network south east DMUs a while ago for a game I was going to make (in darkbasic pro- nice and easy)
The size is good, the shape is good (but that's not very difficult with this train). It only looks too plain and bright now, because the shading and details are missing.

mm, to be honest I am totally rubbish at shading. I cant visualise it at all..
well, I have done a sorta bit of shading.
I know, its rubbish edit: its a before/after.. the bottom right is after, on its shady side.
