Fear not! All the trains and equipment are receiving updated textures either for release or in incremental updates shortly following release, depending on how much time we have. Many train styles are even being re-textured from scratch. The new engine accepts normal and specular maps and so the level of detail goes beyond mere higher resolution. The Dive Train screen shots should give you a very good idea of the level of detail in our car textures.

There are very good reasons for that which have nothing to do with the state of the simulator. But we do promise to be around more to try to answer what we can. You guys are the community, and without our community NoLimits is nothing. [:)]

The detail level variance between NL1.x's trains is pretty clear. It's interesting that a lot of new trains for NL2 are straight-up being retextured (as opposed to just slapping on a normal and specular map and calling it a day), although it makes sense since a lot of the NL1.x texturing would not work as nicely with normal maps as they do by themselves.
In addition, there's a pretty evident contrast between train geometry detail in 1.3's wooden coaster trains, 1.5's remodeled steel trains, and 1.6 (and post-1.6) B&M and other trains. Shows how the team is improving their work as they go, and makes me curious about how much time they have for re-working the older trains in NL2. Not that it really matters when even 1.3's assets still have decent detail, and with the fact that there are lots of other things to update.
As for the T-shirt idea, I was kidding but thought others might be amused by the idea. I'd definitely get an "official" NL2 tee though, with whatever the new logo will be stamped on and all.
Not sure how well NL-labeled stuff would sell, but if it's popular enough amongst the community, it could become quite a marketing and income tool.
