Thanks for the feedback. I spend again some hours on the stairs and removed the riffle-plaines so that only the holes in the metal remained. That brought a reduction of 60k polys.
So while the mesh is nearly finished I will get an end-result some where between 70k and 80k polys. That's my last offer…
But I also spend a lot of time on the texture work. All parts are mapped, rendered and painted now, so I was able to make the first test drives in Trainz.
This is my first rail car project I made with VRay and I must admit I'm positively surprised about the result. The 5 texture files took about 48h for rendering - that was the hard part of this project.
So, next steps are bug fixing, scripting, cab, doku and a shunting coupler.
Here are some screens taken from the game. It's a bit of topic, but there is nearly no difference between Max and Trainz anymore…
Cheers

BTW: I'm not quite sure, if this engine is developed for wearing a knuckle coupler… It will support different coupler meshes (regular european coupler, shunting coupler etc.). So in case I'll release it some days, you may hack a bit to get your knuckle coupler on it.
Aren't there any "adapter cars" in the US with knuckle coupler AND screw coupler?

Where there's a will, there's a way! Actually, I think I recall reading that a bunch of Amtrak MOW stuff uses European couplers and I believe I saw some sort of adapter car.
Great job on this!

I believe there was some for the ICE (I know for a fact there was a baggage car that was euro to american couplers for this) and xtrain but I don't know what their disposition is.
Hellooo Peter Sam!!! :hehe: Yes, I just went there: blame it on a childhood filled with watching nothing but my TTTE VHS tapes over and over again....
(Edward Thomas was the locomotive that was used to prototype Peter Sam in the original Rev. Awdry short stories about the NG line on Sodor. Depending on who you ask, she may be the inspiration for the entire Thomas series itself...)

I'll second this sentiment. Take it as a big compliment, Dave! You're stepping up your game, sure enough.
Cheerio,

I'll go there if I can make a half-decent face. Blame me for having a collection of all the Rev. W. Awdry's books. Unfortunately I don't have any of Chris Awdry's, but I did also have a two-disc collection of all the early TVS episodes(before they botched up the Skarloey Railway with more engines than you could fit in the yard.). You can expect Dolgoch, Sir Hadyn, Tom Rolt and perhaps Talyllyn too(I haven't found any drawings of him yet, so that may take longer.) I will redo those into the Awdrys' engines too, but not Tom Rolt. There's a very fine Ivo Hugh model in progress by someone much better than me, so I'd rather wait for that anyway.

My God! Edward Thomas! Your getting better by the day trainboi1. As you live in the US I'm curious to whether you have actually visited the Talylyn Railway or not? It's a lovely and unique little line.
