Right Away! Railway Recordings
Australian Steam Train Sounds (and the occasional diesel)
Trainz Textures
NEW 11/02/06
If you have read some of the stuff on this website, or you know me, you may know that I spend a fair bit of my spare time playing with Trainz Railroad Simulator (see their website here) and building models for it in gmax. One thing I am always on the lookout for is new textures, and while there are a few free sites around that allow you to use their textures, none are specifically railway related, so I thought I would post some here for your use. All I ask is that you credit me when uploading your models that have used my textures and if you want them to use on payware, please just ask first.
These textures are presented in various sizes, mostly 640x480 pixels, so make sure you resize them to a power of 2 (e.g. 32 x 32, 64 x 64, 512 x 512 pixels) before you use them otherwise the Trainz gamepack jetexporter won't export them into Trainz from gmax.
To use them, simply right click on them and select "save image as" and save them to your favourite directory (whatever that might be). Open them up in a image manipulation program such as Irfanview or The Gimp (both free), crop, resize etc, save them as uncompressed .tga's, and presto, you will have some textures for your next gmax creation!
I have much higher resolution textures available too, so if you want any, feel free to contact me through the contact page here.
