    Western Train with instructions —Timothy Gould
   Hi all, I thought that it might be nice to do something for the community to finish of 2009. So I've begun a project to develop a Western Train along with some instructions.

        Re: Western Train with instructions —Philippe Hurbain
     Hi Tim, Wonderful models and instructions! (no I'm not turning train ;o)... But I find the edgelines of black parts much too dark, making these parts illegible. What setup did you use? Philo (16 years ago, 16-Dec-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad, FTX)
    
         Re: Western Train with instructions —Timothy Gould
     (...) Thanks! Strange. The edgelines show up very clearly on my system. I'm curious how other people find them? They're set to something similar to dark grey. Tim (16 years ago, 16-Dec-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad, FTX)
    
         Re: Western Train with instructions —Philippe Hurbain
     (...) See the difference between your instructions and those I created from the MPD: (URL) guess is that your LDView lpub setup has edge lines set to "always black" Philo (16 years ago, 16-Dec-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad)
    
         Re: Western Train with instructions —Travis Cobbs
     (...) I agree that dark gray would have worked better for these edge lines. I can easily change "always back" in LDView to be "usually black". I played around with the settings a bit, and with r * 30 + g * 59 + b * 11 <= 3600 as my threshold for (...) (16 years ago, 16-Dec-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad, FTX)
    
         Re: Western Train with instructions —Philippe Hurbain
     (...) I always considered that "Always black" was unusable since dark colors were illegible. So for me the answer is yes. I would be tempted to push the threshold further: even if there is enough contrast on screen, it could be insufficient in (...) (16 years ago, 16-Dec-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad, FTX)
    
         Re: Western Train with instructions —Michael Heidemann
     (...) I agree fully with Philo's thoughts about the "Always black" edgelines. cu mikeheide (16 years ago, 16-Dec-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad, FTX)
    
         Re: Western Train with instructions —Timothy Gould
     (...) So do I but going back to the original issue which instructions are using the black edgelines? Tim (16 years ago, 16-Dec-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad, FTX)
    
         Re: Western Train with instructions —Timothy Gould
     (...) Ahhh I found them. The original loco and the last two. I must have accidentally switched LPub across to a different setting before doing (and redoing in the case of the loco) the instructions. Newer versions will be uploaded.

        Re: Western Train with instructions —Timothy Gould

The yellow domes must be attached on a top corner, not in the middle. I'll update the (...) (16 years ago, 20-Dec-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
