No! I'm Steve 🙂 (and I think you meant Paul Hobbs)

@@ing4trainz sorry are are gifing me paul hobbs vibes can do a vid how to export form blander ???

The pantograph is set for the standard Trainz height, whatever that is. It should fit any suitable catenary track. I did not model track or platforms as there are suitable models of Italian railways on the DLS. I will put the main station at San Marino on my website at the next update in about a month or so.

If, like me, you are using Gmax, you need the free Trainz Asset plugin from the N3V site (there is also one for Blender). Installation is straightforward, although note that it has to be in the same folder as the gmax.exe file. Make sure the exporter's exe file has an icon on your desktop; if necessary create one in the usual way for Windows. Now use that icon to open Gmax and you will have the export option available in Gmax under 'file', top-right. It will automatically create the texture txt files. These will be of the older type, simple txt files with the tga file listed alongside the alpha. It will not create the new .texture format. However, the old type work fine for me in TRS22 etc. Make sure you move or copy the actual tga files referred to into the same folder as your exported model. You can open any of my models in Content Manager to see how they should be assembled in the folder i.e. mesh + config + .txt files + .tga files + any script file + screenshot + sound, if any. Hope that helps.

@@ing4trainz Well I tried using Blender (as I had it installed earlier) everything exports fine but texture.txt doesnt comes.

I think your best bet is to post a request on the Trainz forum - start a new question. I don't use Blender so I am not sure how its exporter addon works. There are plenty of Blender users out there so I am sure someone will be helpful. Good luck.

I tend not to make models of anything after 1950, and I would always need plans and photos. If you can find scale plans of the BR class 14 diesel then I might be tempted to put in on my 'to do' list, but I couldn't promise any production date. My email is on my website - see 'contact'.

@ing4trainz I will give u all needed please make S14 🥺🥺 don't need more details 🥺🥺 or make sri lankan railway Rumenian compartments plsssss 🥺🥺

Hi, from what I can see the Sri Lankan Railways class S14 rolling stock is brand new. As I mentioned above, I don't make models of anything built after 1950 and especially not the most modern dmu/emu types. I'm just not interested. Sorry about that. Why not try the Trainz forum to see if anyone else might be willing to undertake the project? Good luck.

@@ing4trainz so make class m2c or Class Y

@@ing4trainz or class B2B victory special steam loco with coaches 🥺🥺

I'm aiming to do a couple of locos suitable for the Beckton gas works with no cabs and dumb buffers but they are some way off yet. As to others it all depends on accurate plans, as I've requested on my site. I'm always open to suggestions backed up by plans and photos but I can't promise any timetable.....

Gmax

I think the Great Eastern demonstrated Brunel's genius as it had so many innovations which were only incorporated into shipping many decades later. As with a number of his projects, the commercial pressures meant they could not be fully implemented in their day. Definitely the 'little giant' of engineers!

It used to be available from Turbosquid but they no longer list it. I found this site online: www.fileplanet.com/archive/p-62940/gmax-v1-2 You may need to get the registration code online as well - a quick Google search should locate it. It's at your own risk, I haven't tried the site and I'm not endorsing it. Also, I understand it won't run under Windows 11. Nevertheless, I'll keep using it until I am absolutely forced to try and learn Blender.....

Thanks! I will try!@@ing4trainz

@@ing4trainz but, can you send to me your Gmax? In a Google Driver Link? Just compacting your files?

No, I don't think I can distribute it.

Usually a Windows-Registry File. Got it on a File Server. Thanks for the Tutorial!@@ing4trainz

Yes it still available out in the internet

where? :O@@Pissoff6842

You're welcome!

Yes, no problem, on the list, watch this space ...

@@ing4trainz Thanks! And as for watching this space, I already get upload notifications for this channel. :)

Of course!😎

And more to come - there's another 37 in the pipeline, coal merchants in Wiltshire but getting their coal from collieries far and wide. Also a couple more of the 20-ton steel PO coal wagons 🙂

No, this was just a short demo route to show off the rolling stock.

Go to my website to see my reskins policy

Well, it's a possibility. No plans at the moment but I'll definitely consider it for the future.

I'm not quite sure what you're commenting on. Gmax still exists and I'm still making models in it - and still enjoying doing it.

I'm aiming to add some more videos as I go along with the model making. They'll be more in the form of updates rather than explaining each bit of the process so if there are any aspects which you feel need further explanation just post here and I'll aim to cover them.

@@ing4trainz I think showing how you rig/animate the wheels may be helpful, as well as setting up smoke/steam particle systems (showing the attachment point placement/naming, and the containers in the config).

@@Sharadise OK, will do.

I set it to 4ft 8.5in so that it could run on the same track as most other early locos.

@@ing4trainz I thought so. Anyway, good work!

Yes, more or less. Check out the 'night' mesh in any cariage that lights up at night. Also the config.

Thanks! I think they are more or less finished. I'm not planning to add anything extra to them. I'm thinking my next project will be the earlier 633 class of 0-6-0 locos which were used for London suburban traffic and also, with condensing gear, along the Widened Lines to Farringdon and beyond.

@@ing4trainz ok though I've been meaning to ask will you be focusing on double framed and Early GWR standard guage locomotives at the moment

Just realised you meant my comment about the long-unfinished route! Yes, at the moment I seem to be doing 19th century GWR standard-gauge locos. Previously I have done some of the GWR clerestory passenger stock from the same period. It tends to be whatever interests me as a model at any one time. The Barnum was suggested in a comment in one of my other videos, and it was a good one to do. As I said above, the 633 class mostly based at Southall could well be next.

I'm not 100% happy with the rail motor and trailer as I've released them and want to revisit the models, especially where the tumblehome sides meet the inward-angled ends. Once I have that done to my satisfaction I will then produce a range of rail motors and trailers, including the preserved examples at Didcot GWS.

I understand, practice makes perfect. Take your time. ;)

Hi, I test them on T:ANE so they should be fine for TRS19. I do occasionally test them on TRS19 and they work OK for me. Make sure you use the versions from my website, not from the DLS - I stopped uploading updates there some years back after being 'instructed' to do so. Let me know if you come across any issues and I'll have a look. Use the contact page on my website: www.jatws.org/ing4trainz/index.htm

I think it is only TRS19 and up, but the best way to check is toexperiment by installing a TRS19-compatible loco with the effect into TRS09 and see whar happens. I'm not sure if the effect is dependent on the version of Trainz or is a twinkles effect initiated by an entry in the enginespec or config, as with smoke, whistle etc.

You need to have Gmax and the Trainz plugin installed in the same folder. When you load the plugin it also loads Gmax but with the Trainz-specific 'front-end'. This is just a particular setup of the Gmax screen and tools. If you were just to load Gmax from its exe file you would get the generic setup; the plugin makes it easier to export models into Trainz.

@@ing4trainz oh no its ok i found the aplication now, thanks

can you tell me where you find it?@@bluestarproductions2033

No, it was a bigger project than Bob and I could manage, especially the cityscape, but all the released models are available on my website if you want to have a go: www.jatws.org/ing4trainz/index.htm

@@ing4trainz that’s great, I got most of the models, even the 1820s ones, I loved those

Your'e welcome. I'm currently working on the shorter 60ft rail motor and a couple more trailers, and then probably the GWR 2-4-0 Barnums of 1890.

It's available to download from my website: www.jatws.org/ing4trainz/index.htm
