The first of the combination car rebuilds is completed and uploaded. I also rebuilt the oranges product with

Trainboi has posted some nice V&T cabooses and coaches over at
Trainz-Forge under the freeware
section.
This year's presentation (the V&T's Reno yard) for the Virginia & Truckee Railroad Historical
Society has been posted to the
Presentation page. I've uploaded a bunch of stuff from the presentation,
including lots of roads, some railroad crossing signs, irrigation ditches, and buildings. I also updated the
V&T moguls 10, 13, 14 with the proper frame color.

Work on the Reno engine yard progresses. I've also uploaded revisions of the Reno blacksmith shop and some
road crossings to the DLS; as well as a little crossing shanty.

Four versions of a Dodge Brothers delivery van circa 1918 are now on the DLS. I've also posted three
versions of a DH4 mail plane.

I've uploaded a Mack AC stake truck, as well as another driver model to go along with it. I've also updated
some models to fix a material issue exposed by the better error-checking in TANE SP2.
Finally, I've started to rework the Reno engine yard area in preparation of a new presentation at the
Virginia and Truckee Railroad Historical Society in October.

I finally finished and uploaded to the DLS a Southern Pacific pneumatic coal loader (of a design used by the
V&T in the Carson City yards), as well as a version of express car no. 2 converted to a house (also in
Carson City).
I've started work on a series of Mack trucks from the 1920s, as well as some 1920's people.

I've taken a little time to finish up some old models. A new telegraph pole (with one wire) has been
uploaded, and a board-and-batten version of the shack and a baggage car that was converted to a house are
both on their way to the DLS.
I've also been experimenting a bit with Blender Cycles procedural materials, starting with a new cordwood
load.

I've uploaded a set of turntables to the DLS - two new narrow-gauge versions, and one replacement for an old
standard-gauged model.
Currently, I'm working on updating the NCNG turntables.
