    Hello everyone,

    As we're approaching the end of the year, we may have a traditional event where we'd have an opportunity to release a small set of new decals to be used be everyone in Livery Designer.

    We're looking ideally for shapes or decals that you would find useful (weathering effects for example) or that you would like to see to help with your creations!
    A reminder of course that we are under restrictions when it comes to licensing, so I won't be accepting any suggestions for licensed logos.

    We'd be looking at roughly 3-5 decals to add, so if you have ideas for a small range of shapes, effects or other things you'd like to see, please let me know in this thread! Thank you :)

    You can add special warning signs for freight trains like explosive or inflammable.

    The hazmat Symbal is not licensed?, it's used globally by all that transport hazmat including Fuel, that includes oil, or any flammable liquids as well as some types of metal that react with water Very dangerous, including gases like oxygen.
    The tag 1267 with the small 3 helps emergency personnel identify the hazardous substance.

    As far as I know, no one nation or company owns the rights to it. There is a book that most emergency personnel are given provided they have the training, in that book, it gives all the info on just about every substance that is hazmat related, and many things are shipped internationally, like medical grade radioactive materials, So I don't think that would be an issue.

    It's been some years, but things could have changed, but I doubt it.

    They weren't replying to the hazmat comment, they were CLEARLY quoting the post that said more companies.

    I made several versions of the Avatar all PNG with and without the eagle and maybe even a black one it is the one I now have here, and I would be willing to put it in for all to use on the American locos.

    Are country flags a thing in the livery designer? I think those would be cool. Especially since I've seen a fair amount of American trains with American flags on them.

    Rather than this, pull ya fingers out and sort the franchise out 1st!!! I'm literally giggling at your failure of tsw4, havent touched tsw3 as 'small window after release of tsw4' has well and truly passed and you keep banging on about future stuff... joke bro! Gutted for JT - OPB .. literally the SAVER of tsw4 and if that comes out bugged by YOUR doing.... say goodbye to Tsw franchise.
    As a console player, your lucky I've no other option! PC users moving over in volumes to things like simrail or whatever and others going back to tsc speaks for itself.
    Please please sort everything out BEFORE even mentioning future stuff. Your digging yourselves a HUGE hole at the moment.

    I think it would be nice to see maybe flags implemented from all countries and if possible a nice variety of American signs?? A lot of the signs are UK and German but no US signs to use with American made liveries.

    I know the post says no logos, but is a BR double arrow not feasable?

    The BR double Arrow symbol would be fantastic.

    I would have said the BR late and early crests along with double arrows but seeing as they are licence I will suggest another thing that would be useful for lining:

    A quarter of a circle outline, there is a semi circular one but in my latest livery (apart from the early crest) having a quarter of a circle outline would have saved the most time. If I have confused you Alex just let me know and I'll send a screenshot showing what I mean, as I think I have confused myself!

    Maybe add some Christmas decors, or some symbols of Pepsi and coca cola stuth, which would go great on some tankers and box cars for freight trains...
