Why not model in Blender? It'll make programming the mod cleaner than making multiple objects in Techne, and seeing a ton of ModeBase classes in one class. [Or so I assume if you're making them from multiple objects...]
Just wondering... since you can't ride the trains, how will they be controlled? Will there be a remote control with a special GUI that has a slider bar to control speed or something?
We are not sure about controlling them yet, our Ideas so far are either making the trains powered by coal (like a furnace cart) or letting the rails work like powered rails, and providing with the option of making them not move when the rails are powered, we still have to discuss how we are going to do this, but we'll first see if we can get the tracks & train to appear ingame.

I'll look into blender, thanks for the tip!
As far as I know, MrMc is still having problems with getting the tracks to appear ingame, if anyone has any knowledge of how to do this, please send Him a message.
For controlling them, atleast for the beta versions, the steam engines will be controlled the same as a furnace cart. Stick a lump of coal in and off it goes. This will probably change in the future.
I will look into blender, but for now, if everyone who is submitting models, please model them in techne.
Nice models miner!
If someone wants to have a go at modelling steam engines, that would be great!

I've tried blender, i can't yet figure it out. I'm willing to learn though.
They look awesome! What can we expect from you next?
Tank cars, another wood car and a SD40, by end of weekend hopefully. maybe a control thing?

Ok, as far as my help goes, I can't offer much in modeling. However, if you have any technical questions on locomotives or live steam, let me know. I would love to be able to help more, but I don't know modeling. Good luck, and I really hope this mod takes off!

Ok, so. The poll has ended, and the Small Donation: 1st Option, Big Donation: 2nd Option has won!
This means that if you donate a small amount, a custom wagon will be added to the mod with your head sticking out of it! This custom wagon will be public, so anyone who downloads the mod will have access to it.
If you donate a larger amount, you will receive a custom version of the mod in which all the freight cars are functional and can carry items and blocks! This will only be for people who donate larger amounts of money, and will not be made public.
Updates:
A very helpful guy named Tupelov, has helped me implement the track model, so tomorrow (GMT) some screenshots will be out showing them! The next step will be adding functionality to the tracks, so minecart enitites can ride them!
You can hopefully expect a snapshot release in the next couple of weeks!
So you say ride on trains, do you mean something like this?
Yeah, they are about that sort of size. But you wont actually be able to ride them. I meant I had to make the track block work like track, so you can put a train on them.
Edit:
I looked it up. Very simple

Edit: my post have been a bit odd lately.
I'll make sure to ask technical questions....
Techne Importing error should be fixed now by the way!
If you can model in techne, you are welcome to submit rolling stock!
And sloped track/switches, of course

There in that sort of scale.

If you guys want to start working on bridge models, without track included, that would be awesome!
And of course Sloped Track/Switches, don't forget those.
More pics coming soon though!
