Any steam graphics gunslingers out there ??

[kcj207]

A brief look at Blender has convinced this retiree, that insufficient life remains to master this application. Plan B likely envolves
commissioning an expert to complete a locomotives project.

I am building the interesting parts of a railroad, (era 1940 - 1950). and seek railroad specific steam locomotives.
Can anyone kindly provide an earthling a friendly process for effecting the project described below, or direct me to a reliable individual or
company who can:
1. Skin a Mikado 2-8-2 with the correct Railway livery
2. Skin representative models with livery for Canadian Locomotive Company (Kingston) 2-8-0 and 2-10-2 locomotives as well as a Montreal
Locomotive Works 2-8-0
3. Write the appropriate config files providing realistic sounds and throttle, Johnson bar (reverser) settings for the above. Reference:

I can forward photographs of the engines and logo.
P.S. I AM DOING THIS BECAUSE... my favourite locomotives keep disapearing from my content lists and have also disappeared from the Content Manager v 3.3

thank you and regards

Do you have a kuid for the reskin? Some are fairly easy some are more difficult.

Thanks John

Yo John

The engine originally utilized (because it looked somewhat like a Mikado) was C-41 # 1015 <kuid;43955:10150, which has the new (and not downloadable) <kuid2:43955:10150:4> The original tender was <kuid 43995:10151>, original author, prowler 901.

There is a downloadable clone, PON-C-41 #1305 <kuid:522774:1064> by sniper 297.
I would send photographs of the locomotives mentioned in the first post, along with the Algoma Central Railroad logo if it were posible.
thank you for your response.

You wrote earlier your loco had gone awol from CM and your content list, have you got that wretched show favorites only star ticked, there's 1 for routes and there is also 1 in surveyor. That's my guess.

Have a dig here http://steammachine.com/prowler/ and see if you can spot the original c41.

Given there is already one reskin it seems likely that a second would be permitted.

Thanks John

Fran1,
You were right !! When I followed your advice, the C-41 locomotive (one of the five missing locomotives in my "so called" favourites" list) reappeared; but, the tender usually listed directly below, was missing. Going back to the content manager and selecting 5 stars rating for the C-41 #1015 tender, caused it to reappeared in the Routes, Surveyor, Trains F7 index. Really???? I will repeat the process for the other missing items. Thank you for taking the time to sort this one out!!
John,
The link that you provided gets me under way. I do appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
regards to you both!!
