Well we're watching and waiting, Dolphus - although maybe silently - we still enjoy every image
...fantastic modeling

Astonished work
Have you a plan for a top view "circuit" where all that can be moving?

Thank you d12dozr for your comment, I must say that sometimes the SILENCE is deafening...
Pilou sadly only in my dreams...one day when I get a supercomputer that is not intimidated by my biggest enemy..polly count then i will be in modelers heaven (nice big layout by the way is it yours?)

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
