Payware is in many
ways no different from other productions, except for one major fact:
charging money for something places a responsibility on your shoulders
that you need to consider very seriously before you venture into
business.
You are responsible towards your customers but more importantly you
are responsible towards any brand owner whose name, logo or colours
you use. Hence quality is no longer a matter to be taken lightly. Any
negligence reflects upon yourself and the brand owner as well.
|
|
Subsequently payware
models cannot be cranked out like so many sausages on a string. They
need to be carefully researched and continually revised to obtain the
best possible result - something that you as the creator can be proud
of and third parties involved feel safe about. Hence quality takes
time. |

Projects
Underneath you will see a list of current projects. Not all are being
worked on simultaneously, rather an order of rotation exists, dictated
by way of available reference material, that governs which models are
active. In general the list complies to the general grouping of
objects used in Trainz® except for the concept work category, which
contains larger thematic projects covering more than one category

Concept work
Concept work is where we try to work thematically. Meaning
anything from recreating a certain period to depicting a geographical
region and its railroad. This will typically result in larger add-on
packs with rolling stock, trackside items and scenery.

Skovbo Jernbane-Arkiv run by
Mr. Claus Frost provides quality CAD based plans of mainly Danish rolling
stock. To be able to do so Claus Frost has access to a lot of original plans
in the very nice scales 1:25 and 1:10. Not that his 1:87 plans are of a
lower quality, we can assure that they are not, but the ability to peruse
through the "real McCoy" is something truly special, which can be seen from
the level of detail in the NOHAB project. |

This is
another fish we are very proud to have landed. The name Rhätische Bahn or
RhB for short is known by narrow gauge enthusiasts around the globe for its
amazing routes in the Swiss highlands as well as for a number of special
trains and locomotives. |
|
 |
Finally we
have succeeded in achieving something very unique: a license from the Swiss
federal railways or Sweizerische Bundesbahn (SBB-CFF-FSS) This is a very
important achievement for the bureau since it was a SBB locomotive that
started the whole payware venture. Furthermore it proves perfectly that all
good things come to those who wait. |

*Since we started RM has been
merged with BLS and as such does not exist as an individual entity. But the
Re 436 carrying the distinctive livery still can be seen on the swiss rails,
so we see no reason to discontinue the model. |
