Spamtastic!

Oh man,  it sucks that I put my link up and I am getting nothing but spam.

Update on New Zealand.  I am still waiting to get approval from the New Zealand gov. on if I am able to come into the country.  I sent my application in last week.  We are waiting on my daughters passport and then we will send the rest of the applications in.

We are ready to be in country and learning our way around, but we have this last step to get through.

Work on the Dash 9 is still underway.  My previous employee and good friend Andre Roux has agreed to give the texture the love it needs.  Hang tight for an huge update soon.  It’s looking amazing.

Hi Mike!

Thanks for keeping us informed on the Dash 9 and your New Zealand adventure! Hope the passport stuff doesn’t take too much time, so you can go there ASAP.

Oh, I’ve just seen Andre Roux’s textures on his website and I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, his work is just amazing, on the other…you know, the more I see TS2 screens, the less I understand MS.

But, as someone said on The Last Crusade: “You lost today, kid. But that doesn’t mean you have to like it.”
I’m sure in the future we will enjoy something like TS2 or even better. Maybe RW and that Dash 9 are the beginning of it…

Regards.

mike, where do you get your plans (blueprints) for the dash 9?

Hey Jesse,
Various places. I think the Dash9 plan was something we had from a magazine or book. I will have to ask Rick Selby where we originally got it.

It was actually an NS unit in the plans but I made the adjustments to make it a BNSF unit from pictures.
