The Day We Caught the Train

[curiousb]

I'm not terribly sure how popular this particular offering will be, it might appeal only to a bit of a 'niche' market, but let's see how it goes...

More in the same vein as the companion post earlier today, but this time 45 vintage British and Irish railway posters! Maybe because these represent my 'home turf', or because I've always had a soft spot for the age of steam, I think these particular posters have a quirky, nostalgic charm.

As before, these should work with HugeLunatic's base-game version of the Maxis mesh and karaskaras's add-on set.

Just to forewarn you, there will be yet moar recolours of the mesh at some point, but with a rather different feel to them - wait and see... ;)

Included are these Maxis mesh recolours:




And these lmhwjs horizontal add-on mesh recolours:






(Mesh by lmhwjs not included; get it here)

lmhwjs for the horizontal mesh; where would I be without it? :)

WOW. These are simply wonderful! I loooove retro posters, I'm glad I found your journal! :D Definitely downloading, you're so talented.
Also, I would love to know where you find all those retro images, since I always have to google them and stuff like that - if it's ok for you. :)
Thanks again!

Thanks, alex - it's great to get such lovely feedback!

I get a lot of my images for pictures/posters from here: http://www.allposters.com/

For these particular ones I actually found a fab site with loads of old railway posters: http://www.travelpostersonline.com/

Thank you so much! :) *lurks*

Oh wow! These are absolutely fantastic! I've spent many holidays/days out in a lot of those places. Thank you very much for making them. :D

[bagfran.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, marazion! It's the same for me - many of these are some of my favourite places to visit. :)

I loooove these :) Thanks so much!
could I maybe make a request that wouldn't get me shot!!!? Would it be very hard for these to be 'simlished'?
*runs away very fast, clutching the box of wonderful pictures...

LOL! I'm not going to shoot you, but I'm afaid I do have to say that I really don't know how to go about 'Simlishing' something. I'm guessing there must be Simlish fonts out there somewhere...

That being the case, I would say it is possible, but I can imagine it might take quite a lot of work in Photoshop, and I'm afraid I don't really have the time just at the moment.

If I do make any more sets in the future however, I will bear it in mind. :)

Thanks again for downloading - I'm glad the lack of Simlish hasn't put you off!

[pinkthistles.livejournal.com]

OOH! thanks for not being angry with me :) They are MOST definitely perfect as they are, I'm terribly thankful. I can open SimPe - but that's it !!

Fran!! I've missed you!

I just found your site! I was going through an archive of Community Finds - Version 1, page 11, at Sims Urbania. When I saw "Bagfran" I was so thrilled. I LOVE your site!!

I had to grab these posters up, great job! I can't wait to use them! *runs off to look at more stuff*

Huggles,
