It's probably the 3D program he's using. It isn't compatible with MSTS, am I right?
Looks awesome!

Heh, I'm afraid it's not compatible with much at all.

I'm 99% sure it wouldn't work. It's a very inefficient model for any purpose other than rendering an image. It's got a lot of unnecessary geometry and it consists of hundreds of parts with thousands of polygons.
The best I could do is export it as a DXF, but the model is a) incomplete, and b) currently weighs in at 15MB and is unlikely to be workable as a simulation.
Also, 99% of the reason it looks so good is because of lighting, which will be lost in MSTS or Trainz, leaving it not looking much better than existing Tangara models.
I'm working on duplicating it as a G-Set now, bending the lip under shouldn't be too difficult.
