In Thief 2 those textures are only used in the "Kidnap" mission. And the tracks supposed to be new there.
Of course, you're doing this for Thief 2, my bad. I automatically assumed these tracks were the Thief 1 ones.

MaxEd - I'm impressed by the effort you had done so far and I'm curious to see what you'll come up with in the coming days (weeks, months...? )
Just one thing though - I haven't seen these textures in game yet, but I have a feeling that you're making them a bit too clean. Straight lines are perfectly straight, edges are sharp, no dirt, etc. These tracks textures just ask for some loose stones, dirt here and there on the sleepers. After all a mine would be an extremely messy place. All of the sleepers are perfectly rectangular and of the identical size and texture. Just add a bit of variety. Turn them by 1, 2 degree, vary offset by 2-3 pixels. Chip off some corner, make one edge diagonal, another one more rough. Add a wider crack there and change the saturation of a wooden log on another one.
You don't have to exaggerate it - you can still stay within the layout of original textures. But it would be great to add the details, which our brain used to fill in, when looking at the blurry original textures.
But again - let this does not be taken as a criticism, but rather a friendly suggestion. You're the main man here! :thumb:

Perfect, Necrobob! There are some other source pics on here that need doing, the jobs yours if you're willing?:D
Gecko has been doing some excellent stuff with source pics for his Thief Gold HD pack, maybe we could purloin some of
his textures for the EP after he publishes it.

Yeah, why not.
