I must say, I haven't had experienced a thriller like this since a month, when I was suffering from a serious case of the Runs ("Durchfall" for ze Germanspeaking fans) and a cold
at the same time - in other words, every time I had to sneeze it was like playing Russian Roulette. Sorry ladies for the graphic detail (yeah, that's you @Licaon - btw am I on your
list? Wink wink, nudge nudge*)

That being said:

I confess. It was me. I ripped parts from @'Bandion''s model and frankensteined it into a locomotive while using @Jansch his hacked account. Or was it the other way around? I don't
remember anymore. Oh no, wait. I've been manipulating both sides into doing the 101 at the same time. I was that customer of @Bandion, trying to "trump" things up a bit (OMG,
bad political pun there). When I knew @Jansch was getting close I've threatened @trunky and @Bandion to finish it right away. If they didn't, I would've send nudes from myself.
As you might imagine, they've complied with unnatural haste, that's what the promise of psychological scarring will do. Trust me, my nudes are better fertility control then
China's 1-child-policy.

By the way, thanks for the hat-tip @Skyjoe , you miserable thief. You've not learned from me - you outright copy-pasted my work! I can tell, because on those last projects the grime
seemed very similar to mine. Only better, more detailed and more realistic. But aside those minor details, they were almost the same. From a distance and when squinting.

As you all might've guessed I sacrifice myself on the altar of Transport Fever. What's one innocent life compared to dozens of good mods? Nothing. Never mind the bogus confession, as long
as everyone agrees it's true, it must be true. So, in short:

And @Bandion, if you leave: I'll release a "Hello Kitty" or disturbing Hentai repaintpack of all your models you pr*ck.

* Don't hate me, if you want to scold and torture me, do it in PM... There's so much public humiliation I can take. I've played the part of a little girl** once in a stageplay whilst being a chubby boy. So yeah. I thought it would
help my acting career at age 11, but I was sadly mistaken.

** Yes, I wore a dress and a orange wig with pigtails. I sang a song about starvation in Africa***. This is actually true, no joke.

*** No, it didn't raise awareness, it made people laugh. Especially my friends and parents****

**** If you're actually reading all this extra footnotes, it's time to do something more interesting. Like sleeping.

That's a model made by @Jansch - I have no idea when he's gonna release it.

EDIT: Well, that would be right now...

In the meantime, the Daylight Express has entered the shed. First: the nightmare of very extensive normal mapping. A GIF clearly shows the
difference:

Another project that's still going on: the BBÖ 214. Franzle requested a clean version (blasphemy) and changed several details.
A picture of the progress:

In the meantime I was busy with a repaint request made quite some time ago by @Banter_NMBS:
a Belgian repaint of the Desiro ML made by @Akamas. A screenshot of the progress:

OK, I just raped Grimes his PM-box with a sh*tload of files. Giving him quite some work to do alas.
But I trust the VT 133 will be released in the not to distant future!

As some may already know, the texturing work is as good as done:

Absolutely Fabulous... Created in the 50's, it was a piece of American design livening up
our railnetwork. They lasted until 1998 and some are still used today by privateers. One
of the most beloved locomotives, according to the persons who've used it.

INSELBAHN FEVER!!!

Me thinks that concludes my work on the anteater!

And the next:

EDIT: forgot a little thing... Loknr. now applied.

And the next one:

Nope. Some parts were mirrormapped (by lack of a better term), but I've already compensated for that with
my normal map and texturing. No sweat. It cost me about 15-30 min extra work, but would've cost you pro-
bably more.

Aaaaaand the first one is done, at least I think:

So, the hard work is done. What I've done:

- did a recon on the parts, because when probing I discovered some of the parts were mirrormapped and reversed
the effect of the normal map - positive becomes negative and vice versa

- applied the normal map - only a few things were needed, the model is already quite detailed.

- colored all the parts I consider "universal", with that I mean all the parts that remain (mostly) the same no matter
what repaint I apply

The current state of affairs:

We just kicked out the last BR 152 out of the shed when we all heard strange sniffing noises.
Was it a pig? A hedgehog? No, it turned out to be an anteater....

And all the versions in 1 preview:

So, my work on the BR 152 is done!

So, my work on the BR 152 is done!

And two extra skins on demand:

RailTim & Angry... I hate you both. Giving me all this extra work...
