Old Style Gas Station

[ca2kjet]

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I'll consider doing some older assets but I've got a bunch of stuff I'm still working on so we'll see. Heck, I still need to get back to creating some truck cabs to go with my trailers.

Believe it or not, I was actually inspired by you, Marc. Ever since I saw those models you created for the CSX Selkirk route you've become my "benchmark". So hearing from you means a lot. Thanks.

I wouldn't feel right charging for anything I create. I wanted to finally do something in my life where I give back to a community. I'm thankful I have a good job and have the tools available to me to do this work in my free time. The only repayment I get is the joy in creating something and seeing people enjoy using it. I just hope to keep myself motivated enough to continue to do this (keep me motivated, that's the repayment I want! ). I also want to add that I'd prefer not to create anything that entrenches on someone else who is doing it for money. It's one of the reasons I've stayed away from trying my hand at a locomotive. Maybe I could do a locomotive that no one has created yet in the payware realm? It would make for an interesting side project...

Ok, enough of my blabbing

Of course, what I was told once, it doesn't matter if there's a payware version of the item, if you built the model yourself you would be fine. That is how MSTS got such a large library, multiple models of the same item, both payware and freeware. Such as if there was a payware Berkenshire steam locomotive, no one could do anything to you if you made a freeware Berkenshire, just as long as you built the model yourself from scratch using no part from the payware model.

Do hope to see you do some locomotives later on. How about a Alco C420 highnose.

Haha! NOW you've done it. Here come 5000 locomotive requests!

#1 - Fairbanks Morse Erie Builts in Milwaukee Road livery

Seriously though, your work is spectacularly good. Between you a jpeter (who is doing "city" buildings) we'll soon be able to make a truly unique US route with US assets instead of recycled UK assets.

Thank you!

Let's not even start that in this thread.

Just want to add my thanks. A great addition to the vintage assets for RW. Plan to use it to age Sherman Hill if possible.

Just stumbled upon this one near Donner Pass

Just add some old signs and you are done

ps: played this scenario for the first time. I LOVE it, graphics are awesome !
