It's best never to assume a persons intentions, but to only consider the possible actions. One mans trash can be another mans treasure.

I agree, just because it's a duplicate, it's actually not, unless it is and then it would be, but it never is. In other words what this is, could be a more optimized, better updated, more improved over time, different art or performance design. Sprung is more than correct. Nice Mod, first one I've seen like this, didn't know how much I wanted this until now!

This is still a really good Mod man, just because someone else has done it doesn't mean that this mod was not also wanted ^^

I'm curious whether -- or rather, to what extent -- the more detailed models affect frame rate, especially later in the game when every frame counts.
Your models seem to be slightly less intricate than the ones of that other mod while still improving visuals, so there may be a place for both?

Also, that other mod comes with a change of the rail tracks at the same time, which may not be everyone's cup of tea either.

Just as I uploaded it, I noticed there's already a mod available that does the same ... and better. Exactly the same happened yesterday with a mod about faster mines but I didn't make it available. I'm such an idiot.
