working on my animated conveyor again

[leeferr]

I thought that I had lost the mesh during a Gmax crash, but I found a copy of it hidden away in a backup that I'd forgotten about. I've begun work on it again. It's a way's from being complete, but here's a progress shot for those interested.

looks nice would be great if had hay bails to go with it

[leeferr]

I had'n thought about that, but I'll think about how to do it. When I'm done with this, it will have a pile of stock at the end with a plume of dust and a small pile of stock at the bottom end to load. I wish I knew how to make it interactive, but that's beyond me.

Question: Will it convey Coal, Stone, Ore? Will it come in different sizes and textures?

I can think of 1001 uses for such conveyers.

Great Project:)

[leeferr]

I plan on doing one each for coal, stone and iron ore. I may do one for scrap metal also. Apache62 made a suggestion for hay bales and I'll give that some thought.

oooo, very nice ive been waiting for this for a long time. Another idea you might find interesting is a woodchip(?) conveyor found in woodyards across the southeast like this one that used to be served by the Georgia RR.

i think the conveyor loaded woodchip cars as it is right where the tracks used to be. if you need another project, i think a good woodyard wood be great for us southern trainzers:)

I've uploaded 4 versions of the conveyor. Coal, Limestone, Iron Ore and Scrap Metal. Should be on the DLS soon. Here's a shot of the Iron Ore Conveyor. The conveyor belt is animated (well, the best that I could do) and the material discharging at the top of the belt is animated.

I might give it a try, but no promises.

I've got 4 on the DLS. One each for coal, limestone, scrap and iron ore.
By request, I've retextured one for sand and it's been uploaded.

Your conveyors are perfect! :)

Is their anyway you could make a second set of conveyors that are the same design but about 1/2 the size?

[leeferr]

I plan on doing that as soon as I get the time. Hopefully in the next week or two.

should be on the DLS by tomorrow.


In today they already in the DLS right now? So make me BIGESST HAPPY:D! Because I need the conveyor because at my home area near the Norfolk Southern line near my home and there have company name is "Tilcon" that stone type like ballast, sand, dirty sand, etc so that why I want copy same there =)

[dnutter]
