                  I think your double Decker passenger trains are great, not sure about the textures on the first one out of the three, the third is my favorite!

                    Thanks for the comment Liam I am not really very happy with either of them I must still learn a great deal about using textures, the trouble is that i enjoy making names and logos in cad form then creating 3d images in SU and "branding then (intersecting) with the model but i will have to mak an effort to "texture" properly
