Sure I will join! I am very honoured that you have selected the maps I crafted with Universum. :D
As I noted above, this might be a good time to get the attention of Firaxis and Take Two. A few brilliant pictures of dual engines and AB Santa Fe units might also get their interest. The good and great Rodea has just sent me a perfected CLR three axle engine, a real addition to the engine models available. I will try to get a good shot of that.

In fact, in a week or two, we might have some more skins for Australia. I had to focus very much on real world work - which I actually get paid for! :lol: - during the last two months, but I may have some free time again to continue on new Australia skins - what about you, Burlington_Northern?

I'd be glad to help with as many skins as you want. I can't find any thing to do so they should be easy to complete.

You can use anything of mine in any of your maps. Does anybody know how to take shots of the roundhouse? All the new locomotives would probably get their interest too.

BN, do you model steam? A Big Boy would thrill them, I bet!

Sorry, I just paint. Rodea is the only one I have ever seen model something. I have Ideas for some victorian railways S class engines and Milwaukee Road E8s now. Possibly I can find the CLF somewhere for that: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.p ... 12&nseq=17. I will paint anything you want me too.

This Victoria livery would be the most needed at this time for the two diesels.

That is a pretty old paint program. It is much easier to paint an engine with a newer program like Paint.net. Paint.net also allows you to weather your trains. If you find a paint program you like I might be able to show you how to weather your passenger cars. Untill then, would you like me to try weathering them?
