Ten years ago to the day, I decided to press the Print Screen button while running some UP steam on the good ol' FBL. Ten years of my first ever MSTS screenshots.
God help me, all the tenth anniversaries are gonna surround me like the curses leaving Pandora's Box. Bucket Limited. First fictional livery. The anniversaries of all the fictionals I created in my prime. I hope that white hair on my desk somehow came from my dog.
Apologies for the bump; MSTS shots are hard to come by nowadays, and since this is a flashback post these are indeed MSTS screenshots.
Ten years and a day ago, I debuted Gump Transit, my first completely original fictional in MSTS. This was by no means my first fictional; I had created a slew of fictional roadnames and liveries in Trainz 2004 thanks to its easy-to-learn Paint Shed. However, being freed from Paint Shed's constraints let me push the limits as far as my graphic design skills would allow. More than anything, it would be a stepping stone in finding my identity as a total fictional foamer.
