beta BR-52

[dancat]

well days of boredom have brought me back to another old model.
I've come closer to finishing this model but still no LOD's.
there is a damage model and the "normal" model is animated.
I don't know if my latest work shows up in the sim correctly because I broke my Saitek X-52 and can't fly a mission to see it.
give it a try if you want.

ps, there is no FM to worry about! :mixedsmi:

YEEEEEEEEEEEEES! Finally some more locomotives with coal tenders!:ernae::salute:

 

[thrasmussen]

Just got done testing it. looks great! But it has a wobble slight from side to side for some reason. I'm impressed with the moving drive bars or whatever they are called.
If you could add some emitters to certain key spots for steam/smoke/light effects that would be great.

 

[dancat]

emitter_light0 and emitter_light1 are already in the model.

 

[dancat]

there's also this.

there's also this.

Ah!! a 'proper' steam locomotive, thanks for that one Jon! ..and with just a few mods this could become a Hall, King, Manor class etc etc. Gods Wonderful Railway

Jon - hope you don't mind but I've done a quick 'n' dirty GWR skin for your Castle - this is '5071 Spitfire'.

..If you had a spare 5 minutes any chance you could you push the reversing rod back behind the nameplate and give her some 'British' buffers pretty please?

(Textures attached)

Cheers!

Can you do them for smoke and steam or no?

 

[FOO FIGHTER]

Well done Jon! Glad to see the master is still at work.:salute:

 

[dancat]

thrasmussen, the smoke and steam I use is just a stock effect that lines up quite well but I can add emitters.
Clive, I think I might have to remap the Brit train to make your skin work better. I can do that and upload a new one.
Barry, thanks!
I got more stuff still!

 

[thrasmussen]

Do you have a U.S. train?

 

[dancat]

no US train.
what did the yanks use for trains?

no US train.

They had plenty of trains, just not in the war, LOL!

 

[dancat]

yeah that's what I thought!
repaint the Brit as a US train.

 

[thrasmussen]

What about a Russian train?

Thrasmussen have a look at SOH vehicle trains :british_loco from Klass_o_44

It was a book I checked out from a library 30 years ago, so I don't remember the name, but it documented the more than 7500 US locomotives we sent to war. I recall pictures of southern England filled with US locomotives waiting to go by LST to France. There was also a section on the railroad that was built in Iran to haul lend lease equipment from the port up into the USSR. Reportedly, all but 20 of the locomotives used by the Soviets during the war were US built.
