Yes, I know. But the RRT2 locomotives are photographed from model trains.

Aha! I knew I'd seen it before. It's a Jouef HOe Decauville 0-4-0.

Though what I was really looking for was information about it in the game...

That is its sprites at full size. RRT2 sprites are not large. Download it and zoom in.

While ripping sprites I found sprites for an unused steam locomotive in the game files. The files are labelled "QUE_". Does anyone know any more about this?

I am pleased to say that my discussions on the other forum have resulted in programs to rip RRT2's sprites and pallettes, though they won't rip transparent sprites.

I don't know if any of this will be helpful to you, but I've been talking with someone on another forum and have managed to get a lot of jargon-heavy information out of him. 29 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 CE 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ...

A small update - after looking at the files in a hex editor, the first seven lines appear to be a header of some kind. Here are some examples: 29 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 CE 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0...

I am fond of the often goofy and inaccurate vanilla locos.

I have created an Imgur album with all the prerelease screenshots of RRT3 I could find. There's some interesting stuff in there, like alternate skins for the Kriegslok and mail car. https://imgur.com/a/MqwUkIb What's really bugging me is I know I saw a prerelease screenshot showing the large Victori...

Do you still have the original version that fixes the issues with misalignments on one side without making changes to the rest of the model?

I have already made a post there, however there has been no response yet. I suppose I shall have to wait and see.

Unfortunately they are not. You can throw one of RRT3's .imbs into a hex editor and it'll produce actual text; no such luck with RRT2's.

Are you sure? That may be the case for RRT3, but RRT2's .imb files are the biggest in the .pak - I can't see why they be that big if they weren't the actual sprites, and there aren't any .dds files or other image files in the .paks.

I'm trying to do this myself. Unpacking the vanilla .paks that contain the data is no problem, but so far I haven't found anyone who can decode the .imb files that presumably contain the actual sprites.

It'd be funny if he was playing RT2. That would explain a few things. :-D But there really is what seems to be an unfinished Britain map in RT3. It has been sitting in the maps folder since 2003, but you can't access it from the scenario or campaign menus. No idea why. If a .gmp isn't corrupted it ...

I am almost 100% certain that PopTop took nearly all the trains in the game from The Great Book of Trains by Brian Hollingsworth (read on archive.org: https://archive.org/details/greatbookoftrain0000holl/mode/2up ). Nearly every train in the game is there, even obscure ones they probably wouldn't ha...
