Word of advice, wither is sounds cool to say you trespassed; the railways & authorities can look differently to THINK you actually did and can get your friend to lose his job. They do monitor forum sites, one slight suspicion; they come down on you hard. We certainly do not want you getting a criminal record and a bad reputation especially if your young.

A few from a test run of my M class today. Finally got the coal load animated 
It's quite complex, even topping that of the DD class animations, but I'm quite pleased with how it's come out!
230 simmers quietly as it awaits departure at Yarra Glen with a race train
A short time later, 230 steams across the Yarra Flats bridge in the evening sun.
Having worked it's way south, 230 steams over one of the many bridges near Coldstream.
After a short stop at Lilydale, 230 steams on towards Ringwood, where the train will be combined with a regular suburban service, and taken over by a larger loco.

Nice work Zec that looks pretty cool but obviously the passengers on the platform in the first shot don't think much of it they are all facing the building whats the go with that mate lol ?, Can that little steam engine actually pull that many carriages ?. All looks pretty good anyways Zec so keep at it.
Cheers Mick.

Hi Mick,
it's rated around 65-70% so when you look at the grades book and see the tonnage through the section divide it by that tonnage by the percentage amount and that's the weight it'll pull, like a 1in50 is 270tons, so divide 65% and it's 175 tons, the rating is for 80% boiler pressure on all locos when reading grades book...
Cheers.

Cheers for that Azza i didn't think old Zec would have it pulling too much weight :hehe:.
Cheers Mick.
Hi Mick, thanks!
Yeah, unfortunately a full train starting in a platform equals a half empty train with lots of people staring at walls/fences
Thanks for the info Azza, I didn't have the approx rating, so yeah. This train was about 115t from memory, so was well under the load limit. However, stopping is tricky with just the loco's 'steam' brake! And it used about 1/2 a bunker of coal over the 14 miles But they weren't known for their range...
Now that the loco is mostly 'done' (well, as 'done' as an unfinished model can be!), I've made a start on the interior view
Also did some work on my tracks for T:ANE, but still not getting too far. Will hopefully get further during the week

This thread here has the ratings for all locos, I've been updating it from time to time when I get new info as some of it is a guess.

yes but only if absolutely everything in the screenshot is Zec's work.

Zec. That looks like a fabulous Steam Loco cab. Keep up the great work!
