More WIP shots - Looking for input

could be because of tight turn radius or the length of loading docks.

Mike, I hope its me, but when I change the number of the engine, the numbers disappear.This is not happening with the default Family Lines engines.

It won't accept 4 digit #s... I wish it did... does it work if you just let it auto number? I didn't change anything in the numbering system, in fact I'd bet it still points to the default folder for the number data.

Oh, one of the surprises:



Yes Virginia there was an FT! This is demo 103, restored for it's 50th birthday in 1989. It has the "The diesel That Did It" plate on the nose right of the door. I did the B unit files as well, but don't have the xtra pack to try them.

Edit: OK, I got the FT B units... will post more pics as I progress.

[PapaXpress]

ugh... I used 4 digits! And I knew that 4 digits wouldn't work!

Kali, is that a 40' box car? If so is it from Britkits?

Yes, that's the freebie Britkits one which is driving me up the wall, I can't find the doors or some other random body parts on the ends atm.

That's a nice looking FT Mike; think you can try turning the alpha channel down a bit? there's polished and then there's 20 coats of varnish :)

WIP, the mask isn't on it yet.

Rgr!

So here's the CN box; still haven't worked the trucks out and there's a fair bit of detailing to do elsewhere, but I think it's coming out ok.

[thecanadianrail]

I like what i see!

[Kali]

The ends on that model are confusing what I can't find are shots of the info panels under the CN logo and that barcode... I've found a vast amount of ( some rather good even ) grafitti, but nothing useful.

[Kali]

Yea, the first one; I'll just pretend that it might not be the right info :p

[MadMike1024]

Wow! The Warbonnet looks nice on the E7. A WIP, not quite happy with the silver color, and some fiddly bits to do with the jewelry. Overall though not too bad.

[Kali]

Yes, that should work well. I think silver is probably best started from untinted grey.

I once got towed behind a VIA E unit, I really ought to go and find out what it was likely to be. Or I guess it could be an FPsomething.

This boxcar roof has the most confusing mapping in the history of confusing roofs.

Jigsaw puzzle?

[Kali]

Jigsaw puzzle?

You might call it something like that

[styckx]

Wow.. That looks like no fun. You have fun with that.
