Hello all,

I've just recently managed to get TTDPatch working on my computer and
with all the new graphics out there (Esp. the DB set), it has greatly
added to my enjoyment of the game.  I did a few edited screenshots
many moons ago, and after seeing what was possible with the new TTD
Patch, I decided to start working on some actual graphics.  I draw
"Train Gifs" in my spare time, so I figured I'd be up to this task :).
 I'm gurrently playing around with side views mostly, adding the
diagonal and end views after I finalize what all I'd like to do.  My
inspiration for this set is certainly the excellent DB set.  I've
edited the original graphics in some places, others I've drawn myself.

A picture of my current "List" is at
http://www.trainweb.org/rrgifroundhouse/TTD/TRAIN1.gif

I want to have several North American specific freight cars as well, 
I'm planning on adding a "Bethgon" unit train hopper (for coal, copper
and Iron ore) as well as a steel boxcar and a few others.  I'm not
sure if all of these will work, but I see no reason why not, just may
end up with some clipping issues here and there.

Here's what else I plan on adding before anyone adds any more.

A Challenger (4-6-6-4) and Tender similar to the current Garratt
(Although only 2 units)
EMD GP20, GP35, GP38, GP50, GP60M, SD9, Alco RS3, RSD7, C420, C628,
and C636 diesels.  The LRC will be painted in VIA Rail colours, and
the other diesels will get liveries eventually as well.

I also want to do some passenger coaches.  I know I can get the
drawings no prob, jst will take a bit of getting used to for the
programming bit.

Suggestions on current progress welcomed.  Feel free to check out my
website as well - http://www.trainweb.org/rrgifroundhouse

Thanks,
Take Care,
Dan MacKellar

Just to let you know, there's already a US train set in the works.  You can
read about it at http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=6236

Maybe it would be more fruitful to join forces with them?  It's up to you
of course.

PS: I'll answer your email soonish (when I get my thesis corrections done)
