While doing renderings, I've noticed something odd. POV-Ray mirrors all the models across the XY axis. For instance, look at this image of (URL) 853>. It appears to be right hand drive, but the model I made it from is left hand drive. This isn't (...) (17 years ago, 17-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) 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".

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 (17 years ago, 16-Dec-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad, FTX)
