      Hi and welcome!The railcar objects look very good, but I might offer a couple suggestions:
      1.If you make the object 3 dimensional (all sides and roof complete)they will be great as train objects for outside viewing in openBVE.http://openbve.zxq.net/
      2.I would try to use a texture,even if it's not the exact right one,for the front and back ends.The solid color just doesn't look good to me.
      3.There is some blue around the wheels that should be eliminated.One way that happens is using feathering or antialiasing when selecting an object in a graphics program.
      It's good to see another USA site.Maybe you'll work on a midwest route?You can use any objects in my route if you like. http://www.geocities.com/mcg2h/

          Thanks for the comments. I have long been an admirer of Blueridge, I have ridden your route over and over, it has been an inspiration. I will take your comments regarding my boxcars to heart and correct them. I didn't realize anyone would see more than two sides, but of course they do. I was just conserving computer resources. I do have a local route in the works, short but descriptive of my local area,fictititious but true to life. I will be posting it as soon as I get some details worked out.

              Welcome, Alamos. Your objects are great! I hope you will try to make some trains / routes for BVE.

              Best regards:-)

                  The objects look wonderful, Al, but I am so frustrated - I am just completing a change of address, and have still to date not got my computer set up, so I can't view them, damn! It is good to see another developer working to his strengths, as I too have concentrated on object building and have left route building to the really clever people! Perhaps you would like to take a look at: www.eezypeazy.co.uk and visit the object library to see samples of my work.
                  That's made my day, I have a counterpart "Al" on the opposite side of the Atlantic! Parallel Universes...!
                  Best wishes,
                  Al.
