I don't suppose you'd consider resizing the meshes so that the floor of the train cars are slightly lower and the length is a bit longer, so that foundation height flooring doesn't show through? I realize the pictures are a little dark, but I think my point is clear.

OH.MY.GOD. There are no words to explain my awe at this. Keep on creating, it's people like you who keep these sites going.
Also, could you upload the lot where you took the screenshots? It's really cute.

So, I was really excited to see these in game and make a lot with trains on them. I downloaded in a heartbeat, and opened my game, ready to make my train station only to find one, large, unavoidable problem with your meshes. They don't line up the to footprints! This creates a problem for trying to delete your objects if placed incorrectly. It isn't as bad with the actual train pieces, but an awful experience trying to delete the railroad tracks. I noticed that you used TSRw, that means that fixing the footprints are as easy as clicking a button or two.

I think what you tried doing was make the trains place-able on the tracks without cheats, but it wasn't successful. But jump ahead to the finished project and you have your instructions for placement to use the "MoveObjects" cheat anyway. Having the mesh hang off the footprint is useless and an extra hassle now. To the point though, do you have plans on fixing the boxcars and making the footprint of the tracks larger? It would help out a lot

In other news, the meshes themselves look gorgeous!

Thanks again for all the comments.

Whoden: I liked your idea and I'm working on it.
Qbuilderz: I'm going to fix the footprints of the train. I don't use TSRW.

I'll add a new link with the changes as soon i can.

Auschick4 and Jelloeggboy: Sorry , I don't upload lots.

It's incredibly useful to have the tracks and trains offset. I bulldozed the small junkyard in Twinbrooks and put the largest lot I could in there which wouldn't make the world train tracks go kaplooey. But I still wanted to connect the tracks on my lot to the train tracks in the World, so I put the second to absolute smallest lot right up in the gap where the World broken tracks are and in World Editor (not on the lot) covered the hole with swamp grass.

Because the tracks are offset, I was able to hang them off the lot and the missing gap between your tracks and neighborhood tracks is seriously not noticable even when a sim is visiting any of the lots. Then I put another little lot right behind the first one. Mature plants, a scary tree and a couple tracks are going on one little lot (so the hobos can have food when they fall off the train), and a bloody mattress, hammock, egyptian toilet and more tracks are going on the other (so the hobos can sleep). The tracks all turn perfectly into the train barn, which I'm building now. Debugbuy is giving me steam traps to stick under the train -- AWESOME. I'd post pic but it ain't done yet.

Anyway, offset is GREAT!! Even more offset would give me even more options. Btw:

*Dear God/Santa/My Fairy Godmother, I could really use a ton more train related items* Like a big ole whomping oil barrel turned sideways, on stilts. Or a big ole tank of some sort, for flammable fuel storage. Gears to stick on the wall, pipes in odd places, etc etc. Don't mind me, I have greedy downloader's disease and don't have nearly enough steampunk...

The 1st thing I thought of when I saw these was to make a house with them. So, thanks for taking my idea seriously.
