CAP Textures Completed

Challenging times in the current day job have been sapping energy and modelling time so it's great to be able to make this post!

The texture work on the dia. 1/506 vacuum piped brake vans (TOPS code CAP) has been completed this morning with both the recently painted and work worn examples completed and happily displaying in Train Simulator 2014.

These vans have been produced to enable us to add variety and a little more authenticity to the scenarios included with the HBA/HEA hoppers pack and any further packs they can find a use in. They're not expected to form a pack in their own right but will be included with other packs as appropriate.

HBA/HEA Hopper Progress

If you've been following the Developers Notebook you'll know that the past few sessions have been spent upgrading, tweaking and rebuilding various parts of the HEA coal hopper we have under production for Railworks.

All the parts you can see in the render have been added, tweaked, improved by rechecking with sources or in some cases totally rebuilt to start and bring the model up to the standard of our other products.

The model looks slightly odd at the moment with no springs or brake gear making the underside look strangely open with the white background showing through.
