Feb-24-02, 07:58 AM (EST) "DASH 8 to be shipped...." WHEW! After much blood sweat and many tears(mainly because 3DSMax killed numerous files), the dash8 is now in the technical stages... Fozzy the Bear has graciously consented to get the kinks worked out and make it road worthy and my bro, Redwing, is going to get the physics, lighting and everything else worked out. These will be delivered as the were when SP and SSW first odered them, in groups of 4 consecutively numbered locos. Some will be weathered, some won't. Santa Fe will get the treatment after SP and SSW. After that... well, we'll see... =|Goldenpig out!

>PLEASE! First of all guys! I have to say that Danny has done a superb job on creating the model. I recieved the Max files from him today and they really are very good. I will be sorting out the very minor snags and exporting the MSTS Model tomorrow.... Stll working on it as I type this! Just taking a coffee break!So expect it as soon as Danny feels the graphics are ready and I get the machine packaged up and sent back to him for release (about midweek). You're in for a treat with this one, Even I think this machine looks really good! (and I'm not noted for being a big diesel fan)Best Regards,

Feb-26-02, 04:25 PM (EST) 15. "RE: DASH 8 to be shipped...." Excellent work, Danny! Photo-quality build and presentation I can hear the motor-drives on the photo-line saving those .pcx's... now if only MSTS saved 'em as .jpgs... Perhaps a Susie-Q skin as Kurt suggested might be VERY popular with us Eastern US fans... these photos from George Elwood's site:Julian/Fozzy, how about if I e-mail you a 1/2-off coupon for Dunkin' Donuts to keep you focused on this NON-steam loco? Are you using plainsman Bob's physics data? I hope so...Mike Brandt, are you out there? Thanks to ALL of you for your efforts!jfroth1

>default gp38 cab -n- sounds
>or will it be like
>the C30-7's It does use the GP38 cab, and the dash 9 sounds.... This was mostly to reduce the download size and make it compatible with all versions of MSTS. The cab and sounds are aliased from the original MSTS models. So when you get it you don't have to do any file copying or anything that will chew up hard drive space!Best Regards,

Feb-28-02, 06:44 PM (EST) 23. "RE: DASH 8 to be shipped...." Oh NO! You didn't fall for the oldest PC horror, failing to do sequencial backups? Sods Law: The time you forget to do a backup is the time proceeding the event you should have backedup for.Having got that little homily out of the way...it's time I did some backups, too.
