BR/LNER

I was wondering if there are any britannia locos out there that I could download. Even a whistle or parts (cab, boilerand whatnot) will do, because I am trying to make a Britannia loco with Blender. It will be my second engine (I have now made an imaginary tank engine), so it shouldn't be extremely difficult. I was also wondering if there are any powerful LNER/BR engines - freeware preferably - that I can get?
Al the best,
Chris

I think you are wrong about it not being extremely difficult - you couldn't pick anything that is British outline and harder to do. I really would pick something else.

Paul Hobbs made a BR Britannia loco & Tender. it is available on the DLS but is shown as obsolete.
KUID2:44090:15037:40 BR Britannia Loco (Late condition) & KUID2:44090:15037:41
Try these and ask Mr Hobbs for permission to re-use them.
Good luck

Gooner,

What 3D modelling software are you using e.g. Blender, GMax, 3DsMax or (dare I say it) Sketchup ?

Check out this link:

For some Blender files for parts. If you use them don't forget to credit the author, Paul Hobbs.

(There is a Blender tutorial for a loco on Paul's site but it's using Blender 2.49 which is an older and very different version and you will almost certainly have difficulty following it.)

I would echo the advice about doing something simpler, I'd look for a side tank loco with inside cylinders and a generally simple design. Good texturing makes a big difference so consider a loco that's in preservation and you can get good colour photos for.

Good luck !

Chris
