    The more I think about it, the more I see that both sides have a point. In TrainSimulation’s case, as they are a small team of just 4 people, with only 2 3D Modelers between them. They’re now in a Catch-22, as replacements for the lost sets won’t be made for quite some time, but at the same time, they don’t have the sales volume to support slow sellers.

    The least-worst option right now is to somehow move the discontinued sets in questions to a platform that can support low sale volumes.

    But also, I think just in general, people are fed up with items being discontinued, especially those with no viable replacements forthcoming. So many vendors are just now gone, others have pulled out of general sales, or have discontinued sets. A whole lot of content, many without good or any replacements for that matter is now lost.

    Not pointing any fingers, just stating facts.

    Me personally, my time and energy is running a bit low. There's so much to do, but I'm just not in the mood to do it after doing a bunch of CAD and Graphics work, the same sort of stuff you need to do to make good models.

      Yep, sure are, but hard to take the time to sit and fiddle with them, and get lack luster help. Plus when it already takes forever to spit out a route or repaints, I don't see piling on more projects. Pretty sure my better half would be selling my PC if I spend anymore time on it on my days off..

      For the record, what I do say on here or any other place, is meaning absolutely no disrespect to the crew. Considering the friendship with a few of the individuals of the team, they would hear from me directly if I really had an issue, and we would talk it through. Sean, Chris and Andrew have all helped me out with projects, as I have also helped them with photos, advice, etc. I feel they would be the same way with me in this situation. Figured I'd just pass this along in case it seems like I'm just dumping on them and bad mounting their decisions. Just pointing out it's a little hard to do certain things and losing out on certain things, when items become removed, but not once did I say they shouldn't do it, just simply sucks and renders a lot of equipment useless unless some folks got lucky enough, and yes, that includes my reasoning on switching to the NAVS equipment for repaints and not TSN, as I don't want to continue this risk.
