Weekly report calendar week 25
V 100 and an end
Now finally the last correction in the form of the revised lightning arrows is complete. The three V 100 packages for the Bundesbahn and the V 100 package for DBAG as well as the rolling stock exchange package for PT 6 are now available under the following links.
The other packages are in progress. The next package, which will be published in a revised form, is the one with the NbE V 100.
V 100 and a start
As announced a week ago, the separate announcement is now coming. In view of the conversion of all my rolling stock packages to Open Rails, the time has now come to upgrade not only the .eng and .wag files, but also the models themselves to the Open Rails quality level. The compromise of continuing to use the partially ancient and often simply designed models in Open Rails, with its additional and better functions and display options, is no longer acceptable. Just think of the GR models from the first few years, which have become completely inadequate, or the altogether very primitive models of PT. Therefore, this will be a new field of activity for me.
New builds of the best possible quality
In order to achieve the highest possible level when making new models, I will only make locomotives, wagons and railcars based on the original technical drawing.
Until next time

V 100 and (still) no end
Then I thought that I had finally completed the work on the packages for the V 100 of the Bundesbahn and the DBAG, and I found that the lightning arrows on the covers of the exhaust and heating vent were of a completely inadequate and imprecise position. In addition, the color of the lightning arrows was not the original. This error has now also been corrected and will soon be included in a further update of the packages for the V 100 of the Bundesbahn and the DBAG.
This update will definitely be the last. There will be a separate announcement in this regard on June 26, 2022. But I don't want to reveal more just yet.
As a result, all further V 100 packages are delayed accordingly.
Supplement to the V 60 package
The package with the V 60 of the Bundesbahn and DBAG did not previously contain a 364. Therefore, as part of the translation of the readme file, this package will be supplemented by 14 364 from the Bundesbahn and nine 364 from the DBAG.
Open Rails
The investigation into the corrections to the GR routes and their adaptation to the OR are progressing well and I will probably be able to give answers regarding the scope of the work to be done in the medium term.
Until next time
Frank Stendel
