Welcome to Subpar Productions
I am a 3D modeler and texture artist specializing in making railroad equipment, primarily from North America from the pioneering days into the steam/diesel transition era. The vast majority of the models and textures available on this website were created by me; I created animations and scripts for the few exceptions. All models found on this website were created for the Trainz series of simulators, which is produced by N3V Games Pty. Ltd. Most Trainz assets starting with kuid:96914 can be found on this website. As this website's history spans nearly a decade, models are separated by the Trainz version they have been designed for use in.
Model Updates
As time permits, older, Trainz Railway Simulator 2004 (TRS2004)-era models will be upgraded to Trainz Classics 3 (TC3) and up compliance. As most of my older models are crude by my current standards, each upgrade involves significant amount of mesh and texture work to improve accuracy, appearance and efficiency. Therefore, the upgrade program is expected to take many years. As a notice, Trainz: A New Era is not officially supported as it has broken many scripting functions which are utilized by models available on this page.
Requests
At the present time, I do not accept requests; my personal to-do list contains enough models to keep me occupied for many years. In addition, I have a large backlog of old models which need to be updated to my current standards.
About Ben (bdaneal)
Born and raised in Atlanta, Ben just barely missed the original Norfolk Southern steam program and New Georgia excursion era. Despite this, a focus on steam excursions on family vacations as a youth generated a healthy fascination with steam power. This fascination led him to start making 3D models of trains for the Trainz series in 2003 and begin volunteering at the Southeastern Railway Museum in 2006. Over time, this interest in railroading became increasingly academic, with the majority of his term papers written while studying history in college being either railroad or transportation related. With his experience working on the prototype, Ben is able to fill in gaps where blueprints are unavailable or lacking in detail.
