    I drew these on Sketchbook. Anybody feel free to use these as profile pictures if you want.

    Very nice! Was that the same software used for your profile picture? I like the logos in the background too!

    It is weird seeing trains with no wheels though, especially on the HST, PEP, and the 47.

    Perhaps you could do other countries as well!

    Nice work. I actually like that they don’t have the wheels.

    Yes that’s right! Although I used a pixel art app a little bit also.

    It’s a stylistic choice, obviously not everyone’s gonna like it, but I’m glad that some people do :).

    I have no objections to this, but being based in Britain understandably I’m not as interested in other countries.

    Thank you!

    These are fantastic - well done! I would use the Azuma one as my profile picture, but I must subtly advocate for the addition of a class 91. Any chance you could make one of these please?

    Don't suppose you would ever consider doing an Arriva 150 one of these? Maybe even one a GMPTE 142..?
    I know I've already requested one over on YT (of which I ended up altering myself, but if you ever need any ideas; there's two!)

    I'd do one myself but the one I did didn't turn out the greatest;
    (It doesn't look too bad when it's smaller)

    Brilliant!

    Back in the nineties I did similar stuff with automobiles (especially F1 cars), using PersonalPaint on the Amiga (an advanced DeluxePaint clone). As of today, this is still the most intuitive raster graphics paint program for me...

    Are these images based on blueprints or ingame long lens screenshots?

    Anyone that has any artistic talent I'm more than happy to compliment, given that I am severely lacking in that area :)

    I'm sure your art work isn't that bad! I can assure you that, despite me having art as one of my GCSE options, your art will be way better than mine. ;)
    You'll have to try drawing something, I'm curious as to how "bad" your stuff really is!

    Ah okay, fair enough! I look forward to seeing them whenever you do continue work on them - no rush, I mean, maybe I could attempt to make my own!



    On second thought, I better not ruin the 150/142s....

    Correct, The 323 and PEP are the newest drawings and are based off of in game screenshots, the older ones are done using images but I'm definitely sticking to using screenshots now :)

    Haha! Nice - though I prefer the older ones with their sleek and unobstructed design and hellishly loud engines. The 1990 McLaren MP4/5b is the most beautiful F1 car ever imho... (though the MP4/4 is widely known as being the best F1 ever built, I think the Turbo's silhouette is lacking that beautiful swung line.)

    Unforgettable Ayrton Senna...

    ...given a hitch by Red Five Magic Mansell :) against the rules. Those were the days....

    Don’t know if you’re taking requests but any chance of a 390 or a 334? (These are bloody brilliant by the way!)

    A respectful comment of admiration from me too. Since the front views mainly show British trains, I assume that your home is the UK, although the user name "Schmalf" sounds a bit German. ;)

    BTW: The making of video on YouTube is also very well done!

    Edit: it’s a little choppy when you look at it up close.

    Correct of course, my bias is pretty obvious isn't it ;)

    Thank You! I'm doing another one for the Class 66 but I'm not sure when that'll get finished.

    I'm in love with these. Very well done. I thought it was a leak for the new UI design that is gonna make TSW look way sleeker. If they don't become part of the UI at least use them (with permission) as icons showing what layers are included with DLC.

    Some good drawings in here. I thought's I'd like to contribute with some portraits that I have done.

    I have an A-level in art. I didn't do well in it though.

    This isn't meant with malice, these really are just done for fun.
