Brand New Frisco 1522 model from TrainzAmerica

[AppleDash22]

I planned on doing her actual cars.

The St. Louis Steam Train Association Cars Right? You know, these cars...

Those are the ones. But I cant find pics on all of them.

 

[AppleDash22]

To be honest the other two cars (a coach and a business car) are in the same paint scheme but with the word "Frisco" across the top of them instead of "SLSTA". Take a look at this video. Even thought they're only there in the first clip you can see them at the head of the consist.

Thanks bud.

 

[AppleDash22]

No problem. I found the video awhile back and found it interesting for the CBQ 5 Chime whistle.

Nothing new at the moment. I am however in the process of redoing and retexturing the drive wheels and pilot wheels.
Enjoy these shots til I get some more updates going.

If i could make one suggestion, it would be to possibly lighten the bronze colors on the cab to match the colors of the tenders.

 

[trainman7616]

I wouldnt worry about it. All the textures are getting redone.

 

[trainman7616]

Im giving up on this. Blender is being a pain in my rear. Here is a example of what I mean.

Wont load the textures. Trainz or Blender breaks the mesh. Im just done. Screw this engine. Until I find out what is causing this. Im stopping work.

The problem here is Content Creator Plus, not Blender. Try Edit in Explorer combined with PEV's Mesh Viewer utility (and Notepad for config editing) instead.

I have no clue on doing it that way. Also, the bogey is broke like this is PEVs mesh viewer aswell

Ah, I see.

It should still be alright in Trainz. Have you tried it there? One thing I like to do to test an animation is to first make it a scenery asset - I have one called "Bogie Test" which I place my mesh, anim.kin and textures into. Once it works as a scenery asset it can then be made into a bogie.

If you have further trouble then I'd be willing to take a look at the .blend file; I cannot animate Walscaert's just yet but I have recently gotten the hang of piston-rods.

And I strongly advise you to become familiar with config writing outside of CCP. It will offer you more flexibility, especially should you ever wish to make use of scripts such as Superscript or ARN.

[trainman7616]

The bogeys already animated fully. My issue is that the dumb thing keeps exploding and trainz refuses to load the textures.

 

[captainkman]

I'm willing to take a look at it if you'd like.

Kieran.

 

[trainman7616]

If your willing then I suppose its worth a shot. However the crankpins will appears off center. Dont worry bout those. They will be fixed at a later date.

The file will be atleast 35 mbs. To big to send via email. I woulda have to send them via skype.
