    I don't think we can give enough praise to the design of the scenery. I grew up in Harrow and the Bakerloo line is just like being there (although in 1974 we had the older stock!)

    It got me wondering about well established iconic scenery props like the forth rail bridge... Do you as game designers have to painstakinly draw every girder with relative positions etc etc, which I imagine would take as long as the myth of painting it - or is there a repository of architectural like objects in CAD format that help you cut that level of workload out.

    Not sure if this is the right sub area to post such an fyi or whether the answer is some deep trade secret, but would love to know, as such deep questions often spring to mind whilst gazing at the rails ahead :D

    Thx

    the top girders should be tubular, just like the main stays.
    this would require some serious modeling skills, joining several distorted rhomboids of large size and complexity
    seems the model has been ported from TSC which has the same defect

    As I've said elsewhere and on DTG's FB page - nice bridge, shame about the rest of the route. :)

    Of course the American band with the same name were much better.
