Working on make the engines from Volume 17 into props:


You will be able to have up to five different railroads to show up.

The props comes in series of different angles
0, 11.25, 18.43, 22.5, 26.56, 33.69, 45, 52.5, 56.31, 63.44, 67.5, 78.75.
Some are wishes from Simmer2, others are taken from FAR networks.

The installation will be done in two steps:
- installing the props with the base textures as seen above.
- installing 5 textures files (as seen in Volume 17 A-E).


All in all, the files count has ended up at 701 files.

That is really awesome. I hope you will the most common lines. Is this the "models as props" method?

[vester]

It is the "Models as Props" method.
It was the method with less work for me and the lotters,
... and most flexibility for how this mods can changed.

[vester]

... and now with real railroad textures on:

Wow. I'm not a lotter, so I won't be using this actively, but thanks very much Arne for all the work! I'm sure someone will make some great stuff from these and I'll be able to enjoy your work even more!

[vester]

APSMS: You could always take others lots and replace the engines on the lot.

Still working on the installer script.
Here is a graphics from one of the readmes:

Nice work on the engines!
Great to see them on the LEX after so much work. 

[vester]

Thank you Arthur. Its been a lot more work that I thought it would be.


Just to recap, as I can see the textures Vol 3B have 2 download more than the basefile.
You will need to download and install the basefile for the textures to be any use.

Have made some graphics to help you get an overview of all the mods in the packages in the VDK Proppack 3 as well as VDK Train Vol 16:

[Sciurus]

Really nice models and textures.   Now, I wait for some french trains to match with my stations

[kbieniu7]

Wow, it's been very long time since I visited your thread, vester. And I'm amazed, this is a lot of beautiful models!

I could ask for some Polish models as well, but not to be too demanding, I can just pin myself under Sciurus' idea of some French locos 

[vester]

That last graphics was of the proppack 3.


Been working a bit on making the old passenger engines EMD F9 into props as well.
Would spice it up with a few new textures:

Delaware & Hudson in Warbonnet.


Florida East Coast.


Maryland Area Regional Commuter


Texas Limited.


Go Transit! Toronto.


VIA Rail Canada.
