Got back to working on the Caltrain MP36's and here's the progress. Still have some kinks to work out but hopefully it will be ready soon. Numbers will be 923, 925 (Jackie Speier Unit) and 927   |

Very nice. Two weekends ago, I saw my first MP36PH-3C at King Street, one thing that really stood out is they are very beautiful and intimidating locomotives, as is their trainsets.
I'm not begging or being a gimmie-pig, but I think that a full set of CalTrain Baby Bullets should be released. 3DTrains has become very repaint-friendly as of late, and it might be in your favor. Just a friendly suggestion.
On a sidenote, and this is a just a friendly piece of information: Marc Nelson of 3DTrains does allow a release of repaints/textures only on a case-by-case basis. I state this fact because he has given me the all clear to release my Amtrak Cascades F59PHI repaints.

Very glad to see you back, Drew - I was thinking about your MP's not too long ago. Looking eagerly forward to their release - you have my email, of course.
-Kurt

Cascade - I'll have to think about that, I'm not to fond of 3dtrains I've had some run ins with some of their members about the Surfliner equiptment. I much rather deal with Kurt with the MP36s for now, He's much easier to deal with  Kurt - I can always send ya a copy to beta if you'd like Kurt, you are after all the master of the MP36 giving us a great model to work with ;D |

If the members that make up the discussion forum themselves are not to your liking, to hell with them. Kurt - I can always send ya a copy to beta if you'd like Kurt, you are after all the master of the MP36 giving us a great model to work with ;D That is a most kind thought - I'll take you up on it. I've been chomping at the bit to take these babies for a spin... -Kurt |

I remember getting a cab tour of 927 a month ago. I will tell you. It looks different then the metra one. I think it was amazing! When you are sitting in the engineers seat, you feel powerful. I have never felt this way before about any cab ride/tour. I have been in quite a few caltrain tours too!

I gotta love the MP36's! I'll download those in a heartbeat! They are always around here in the Metra livery so I had to get KLW's MP.  |
