Here's what I've been working on for the past couple of months. The actual 3d-models are by Paul Harper

Aaaaaaaaaw so cute

Excellent buddy, for me it would be lovely to see this as a full blown railway sim.

Not just the DMU's, but mainline diesel loco's as well.

Anyway great to see you are making great progress buddy.

Lovely work. Echo what Mike says above.

Hi,
Excellent!! I echo Vern's echo

Thanks guys, I'll be pushing the sim towards being a more generic train sim over the next three updates: a mainline diesel in the second one and a train editor in the third one. It's been the goal since the beginning but it's taking an awful lot of work!

[haverfordwest]

Great news buddy. I believe you mostly do all the work yourself.

Plus there are only so many hours in a day and you can only do so much.

As always progress followed, with great interest.

Mike.

Excellent Model Sir

[Lapioware]

Graphics are now ready but physics and AI still require some small adjustments. Working on the sounds next...

[haverfordwest]

Oh my goodness me, brilliant buddy. This is my last hope of a decent train game and so far you have done us proud.

Keep up the good work Oskari and many thanks for the update.

Mike.

This is brilliant mate and a fabulous enhancement to a superb railroad simulator.

Thanks guys, I'll post a video next, once the sounds and some other missing stuff are ready.

[haverfordwest]

Great stuff, thanks buddy.

That is the best depiction of moving loose coupled 4 wheel wagons. In any of the train games, including the sound.

Marvelous buddy, just need a greeeeeeeeeeen one please.

The whole development, is a great credit to everyone involved.

Mike.

Thanks Mike, it's a very good start and can still be improved by animating the buffers and couplings, and adding all kinds of metallic groan and impact sounds to match the animations. I haven't figured out how to implement livery options for a vehicle yet so the loco will have to remain blue for now but I'm sure a green livery will pop up from somewhere once the train editor and livery stuff is sorted.
