Wow, slow down, a A3 300dpi RGB poster wil be 52Mb uncompressed, so a A2 wil
be 104Mb and a A1 204Mb... not the files you send over the internet...
Eventually the files will be smaller cos they will be compressed (either
TIFF-compressed or JPEG).
Yes I thought about placing the modelnumbers and release years under the
tracks, but not in this preview.

Good idea, but there is a problem; the first poster wil only contain
grey-area 12V and 9V trains. This is because older parts (for LDraw that
is), used in the blue area are hard to get or not available at al. For
example the 6x22 plate with motor cut-out used by the 727 is nor available.
Or the old wagons with the bue and red magnets. So I will be focusing on the
7xxx, 4xxx and MOT trains, sorry.

Well thank you, I'm blussing. But I can't take all the credit. I made a lot
of the models but there are also some made by others... I don't know where
this will end. If the poster is ready I will make all DAT-files available
too. And for non-LDRraw users or people who don't have the CPU-power to
render arrangments can be made...
