You too Dick, and thanks for all your hard work


Looks fantastic, a wonderful creation. Something to look forward to in the New Year, which depressingly enough is just over a week away. Where has 10 gone!!

Cheers from Down Under, where it is not snow covering the ground, but locusts

Absolutely lovely creation there!

Is this a WIP? Checking the Britkits site I'm not seeing anything on it; at the risk of sounding like the dunderhead noob I am, am I overlooking anything?

I'm only a few days into RW2, but I applaud the efforts you and other fans have made in expanding its scope.

I just installed the basic RS-3 and popped it into a cloned scenario to play with it a bit. As an ALCO fan for years it's great to see it come to life.

I'll certainly be purchasing some of the premium packs in short order, seeing the L&N Mike in the video has me slavering to get my grubby mitts on it and the Shay!

Happy new year!

It's a WIP. Keep drooling for a bit.

Sorry guys they are still WIP. I am working on the engine LUA files, whistle sounds and some fancy animations like sparks coming from the stack when the fire doors are open.

I hope to get it out early in the new year, but I have been invaded by teenage grandchildren who are monopolising my computer power!!!!

Dick...

Looking forward to their release whenever.

Re the log cars and mini caboose as seen in the screenies - are these something new or are they an existing release from another developer?? Cant have a Shay and nothing behind it :)

from Down Under, where it will be a pleasant 40 degrees today and 43 tomorrow (and that is C)

[KCJones]

The log cars, and other rolling stock will be part of the release. As you say "You can't have a Shay without anything for it to pull"!!!!

You can put me down for a set

Cheers and Happy New Year to all...

Enjoyed the video. Nice editing work, btw!

After that, I had to have a taste of the real thing... found this video I call "Talking Shays"... some engineers at Cass showing off their whistle-blowing skills....

After listening to this I thought some of you might enjoy it, too. I never knew until I watched this that they "Man" the handbrakes to control the wagons on those steep downgrades (up to 9%).

Hi all
What route is featured in the video preview and is it available for use.
Thanks....Phill

[KCJones]

Hi Phill,
In true cinomatic tradition it was filmed in various locations on Rich Garbers Colton and Northern and Ohio Steel routes.

Thanks Dick
Looks like some more Britkits product to squeeze into the hard drive

Do these locomotives and rolling stock show up in any specific routes, or will I have to use the editor or RW Tools? I've not delved into any kind of editing yet, just a driver.
