After rather a long time I am back into production.
After spending some time learning how to use Blender, on non railway projects, and updating my Leominster to Kington Line (Still not finished) I have been experimenting on Doodlebugs.
I am not sure when it will be finished as I still have the cab to do and under-bonnet stuff. {under-hood}

Hi Dick,

Nice to see you here. I don't know if you remember me but your MSTS BRITKIT SD40 started me on content creation - for the original MSTS Sandpatch. We corresponded a bit back then.

I just transitioned to Blender in early December - I'm amazed at what it can do over 3DC. I'm sorry I waited so long.

Nice work - as always.
:)

Regards,
Scott

Hi American Steam,

Thanks.

Yeah - I'm still mostly in OpenRails - the "Mountain Sub" is what really dragged me over here as I can't get enough of that route. It's absolutely gorgeous. I'd love to see some BIG B&O steam pounding those rails.

I don't have a clue on what I would need to do differently - to port my models - I'm a complete newb for DTG TS development. Someday...

Regards,
Scott

Cab pictures. I am afraid they are freelance. If anyone has pictures of a doodlebug cab they would be useful. As yo will see many of the bits are from others of my models!!!! (Why reinvent the wheel) **!!bang!!** !*hp*!

Welcome back. I look forward to seeing your new content develop. I still operating with your content nearly every time I run a US route. Your heavyweight passenger coaches remain the only option really, and the same for your locomotives.

Welcome back and best of luck,
I am enthused to see Britkits grow once again. The doodlebug looks lovely, although I am afraid I have no cab images.

Hi Dick,

So good to see you're still train simming! Same as Scott, it was your MSTS repaint kits that got me to take up the virtual paint brush and pixel cutter. !*salute*!

The Doodlebug is beautiful! I didn't even know before seeing yours that there ever was an articulated Doodlebug.

Cheers,
Michael

Glad to see you're still in the saddle Dick. As you know, I've enjoyed many of your creations and always look forward to your next project. I especially enjoy the work you've done with all the animated 3d character sets. Your doodlebug model looks great, as well as the paintwork (extra nice job on the truck weathering). I'll be quite happy to add it to my collection. Thanks for all the work you continue to do for us. !*cheers*!
