Where can I get the ESE 2.0 or the USRA Light Mountain by Train Artisan?

[thescreecher]

Unoriginal I think a copy of the CD is still available on Amazon.

I downloaded the mountain.

American Classics shows up on eBay from time to time. I do wish someone from Train Artisan were still around to release it to us to host, though.

eric Anyways, what happened to TA like other MSTS content creators? NALW and 3D Train Stuff sites are still up and running. I also wish I can get some of 3DTS's stuff but they are payware

What is Conn McCarthy doing now?

[eric]

Conn is still on this side of the ballast as of this week, fortunately. We'd need to find Cyrus Lum for permission, though.

eric hes another person who worked at train artisan?

[eric]

He was the owner.

[thescreecher]

I never knew that until now

What's bad about this is that TA makes really high quality models of locomotives. However, these are lost media ever since the site has gone on sale.

[Unoriginal]

Dunno if “high quality” is still the case. Sure I always admired the texturing, but model wise just go to BLW or TS if you want better versions of those locomotives. There’s some good steam locomotives in the library that can replace the mountains.

There is a Southern PS-4 that TA made and one that John Fowlis made. John Fowlis's pacific textures are only matte because he reskinned his pacific model. However, TA made a completely new model with glossy textures.

TA's ps4

Its beautiful and was way ahead of its time, but turns out that TA has some weird membership program called Club TA. If you join this membership program, you can download this beauty

Where is he now? (Cyrus Lum)
