2011 news:
November 23, 2011
I've reskinned another of Fitz505's reefers in Haggis livery; it's also now on the DLS. I've also updated and uploaded some more source files on the downloads page - mostly some V & T equipment, but also the wood fences on the Miscellaneous page.
November 2, 2011
A new set of buildings is now available on the DLS. Some are new and some are updates of older content -
adding normal maps and optimizing the models and textures.
New is another version of the car shops building in Virginia City, three miscellaneous yard buildings,
a yard office, and versions of the sand house and blacksmith houses with red roofs.
Updated are three blacksmith shops and the sand house. The
download pages here have also been updated with the recent content.
In addition, I've reskinned one of Fitz505's reefers to carry Haggis.

I've spent the last couple of months working on the Virginia City engine yards, showing the changes through the years. As I finish the content, I'll put it on the DLS. Several versions of the Virginia City car shops are now available on the DLS, along with a tan dirt reskin of the 60lb track and a stack of ties. Also on the DLS (but unrelated) is a spline version of the 15 foot wide road truss bridge.
August 10, 2011
Several new road truss bridges are now available for download from the DLS. These are based on the 40' wide road bridge, but are only 30' and 15' wide, respectively. All three bridges (including the 40' version) now also have normal mapping.

The updated combination cars are now on the DLS. Swaying has been added to the V&T ore car, as well as to the new caboose #9 in progress. An updated ore car (also with swaying) should be available shortly.

Rounding out the set of combination cars on the beta page, the post-1902 versions have been uploaded. These have knuckle couplers, air brakes, and have lost the ventilated doors and hatches (although the upper side bars still remain).
May 23, 2011
The yellow V & T combination box car model has been updated with feedback received from several people. The side hatches are now animated. And, there are now red versions on the beta page as well.
April 25, 2011
Now posted on the beta page is a yellow version of the V & T combination box car. The model has been updated, and it is now scripted to sway from side to side as it travels down the track, courtesy a script from TRam. I've also been working on a new version of caboose 9 (as built), using Andrew Brandon's new illustrations and color research.

I did a bit more optimization and detail work on the 47 foot coach, and it's now on the DLS. I also did another set of old DB track with attached fill (this time with a grass texture) by request. It's also on the DLS now.
February 8, 2011
I cleaned out some old db track models with attached fill, and sent them to the DLS. Also finished the 47 foot coach post-dated to after 1902, with knuckle couplers and air brakes. It's currently on the beta page, and I'll upload it to the DLS if no issues are found. Finally, I made a set of old stop signs, which should be on the DLS within a couple days.

Happy new year!!
Due to some issues with the old gallery, I've updated it to use different software. Let me know in the
forums if you have any issues or feedback.
