! Looks absolutely great. Just like the real thing. Thanks B24Guy.Hi All
When I was very young my family lived about 2x the distance in the photo from the Enfield rail marshaling yards in Sydney.
My Mum often complained about soot on the washing and the curtains.
I enjoyed it as Dad would take us down to see the steam engines at work.
We were always welcomed in the roundhouses.
Memories!
Cheers

Stuart, You have jogged my memory. When I was about 6 my grandfather and Dad took me to the Eveleigh workshops near Redfern in Sydney. At the time my Dad worked there as a coach painter and my Grandfather had worked there since he migrated from Scotland in 1912. I remember being hoisted up into the cab of a big locomotive and looking into the cold black fire box. I still get a kick out of seeing a (rare) steam train chuffing along our line.
Cheers,
Ravenna

Back on the Tracks
Copied the fx to Wolfi's original locomotive. Love the smoke ( thanks B24Guy!) but wonder about its height. Have I placed it too far above the funnel?
I've spent hours lining up the formation and tweaking the waypoints. As you can see the damn loco keeps its distance from the box car. The train starts out connected and the waypoints are close together at curves in the track. Any ideas on how to keep a train in tight formation?

Hi Revenna,
Try a hand edit and copy all the waypoints, except the first one and last one, from the Loco and paste them to the cars, overwriting the cars original waypoints.
Might help,
