Questions about train design

[Jancsika]

What puzzles me is this:
We have oodles of re-skinned GP38-s and GP-7 plus some new Diesel electric engines. This seems to me ecological regression, because the world is going the other directions.
Europe, India, Japan, China are moving towards the clean, non-polluting all electric locomotives, and there are some gorgeous electric trains out there.
Why not try some of them???

To make basic model from that country what you are talking above, I think is not difficult, but to add skin for those model, we have to have several images from that train, if we do not have those images, so we can't build that engines

Have you tried Google???

Have you tried Google???

If I have a time I can do that, but I'm not retired yet, so I had to work to earn money to provide for my family life, but if someone can take those pictures, I think I can help to make a model with my ability to 3ds max

I know you can, and rest assured that if and when I’ll need one of those, I’ll will turn to you.
Besides you and Burlington_Northern_3140 are the only one who has come up with some original designs.
I would like to see some of our other members to try their hand on some new design. I have seen some very exciting electric locomotives around.

I had been finished with a new electric train namely ALP-46A, this train from Italy or French, but it's not my created just from another member here ( sorry forgot his name), I just had been done repaired that engine in order to have animation and run fine on this game (see to the picture below), but I'm not going to publish without any request from him

[Jancsika]

This is where you got it from.

Correct, but without request from him I can't publish that mod

Please release the train, I made it for me and for the community, feel free to release it alone or in one of your maps.
I would do others, but unhappily I didn't discover as doing the skin instances.

Ok .... as a request from you, I will post the mod, but it takes time to make the installer, but do not worry if I've done I will post them

[Jancsika]

but it takes time to make the installer,

With due respect, I don’t think this type of mods need an installer.
Everybody who worth his salt (in this case knows what he/she is doing), will know that the Assets folder can go either in the UserMaps or CustomAssets folder. Since there is a 2-way choice the installation should be left to the user of the Mods.
The XML files (even with the Installer) have to be placed manually.
A simple ZIP file would due equally well.

Are you offering to take requests?

I've always wanted to see some trolleys in the game... If you need skins I can paint them for you very happily.

[Jancsika]

I have not done any locomotive skinning, but what I see you need 3 or 4 view (elevation in architecture): Side, Front, Top, and maybe rear. And they should be straight views, not perspectives.
It can be done with a little graphic manipulation, but the starting pictures ought to be fairly well detailed.
Am I correct????
