    How the heck do they fund their work - all their stock could be sold at good prices...

    Much appreciated! :D

    They is a he and there is a donation button on his page. If everyone who D/L something from his page would leave a little something it will allow him to continue.

    I did actually mean it in the real definition of the word "they" - 3rd person plural. Wasn't aware it's a one man show.

    The point is why he doesn't sell his stuff, makes me wonder.

    Edit: "They" is a group, so correct.

    It is great when a person with such talent is willing to gift his time. I personally am not a fan of steam locos. I still appreciate his time (and everyone else) who step up and help this community with our wonderful hobby!

    A lot of people were involved in creating this locomotive, read the manual. A lot of moving parts but no auto fireman which probably requires extensive scripting knowledge.

    A locomotive with such a long rigid wheelbase is a bit picky as to where to put it on the rails. Best select a fairly straight piece of track or she will jump off the tracks the moment you put her on.

    Is there anything on here not too trivial to nit pick? The point I was trying to make is that Darlan is just a individual who loves to create things for the community.

    As with quite a few developers there is usually a consortium that bring different attributes in developing content. Although Darlan is the primary he has help when needed. This is love of the game and no different than any other artist only the medium is different.
