That is an ACS-64. And yes what he is making is an ACS-64. The triangular headlight mounts are a dead give-away; nothing else on the market has those.

Thank you.
To be exact - it is as it said, a British Army Vickers Machine Gun in the post -
Some back history, that the gun was based on the successful Maxim gun of the late 19th century. After purchasing the Maxim company outright in 1896, Vickers took the design of the Maxim gun and improved it, reducing its weight by lightening and simplifying the action and substituting components made with high strength alloys. A muzzle booster was also added.
The British Army formally adopted the Vickers gun as its standard machine gun on 26 November 1912, using it alongside their Maxims. There were still great shortages when the First World War began, and the British Expeditionary Force was still equipped with Maxims when sent to France in 1914. Vickers was, in fact, threatened with prosecution for war profiteering, due to the exorbitant price it was demanding for each gun. As a result, the price was slashed. As the war progressed, and numbers increased, it became the British Army's primary machine gun, and served on all fronts during the conflict. When the Lewis Gun was adopted as a light machine gun and issued to infantry units, the Vickers guns were redefined as heavy machine guns, withdrawn from infantry units, and grouped in the hands of the new Machine Gun Corps (when heavier 0.5 in/12.7 mm calibre machine guns appeared, the tripod-mounted, rifle-calibre machine guns like the Vickers became medium machine guns). After the First World War, the Machine Gun Corps (MGC) was disbanded and the Vickers returned to infantry units. Before the Second World War, there were plans to replace the Vickers gun; one of the contenders was the 7.92 mm (.312 in) Besa machine gun (a Czech design), which eventually became the British Army's standard tank-mounted machine gun. However, the Vickers remained in service with the British Army until 30 March 1968. Its last operational use was in the Radfan during the Aden Emergency.
I have a separate maxim gun already in production, which was used by the American forces.

Could be this,
Is that in Trainz?! If so WOW! And wheres that track from?!

It's whatever Railworks goes by now. You can tell by the black holes under the equipment.
I'm slowly making progress on this Interior project for the Victorian Railways P Class Diesel Locomotive.
I have yet to figure out how to model the 26-C and the SA-26 brake equipment though, I'll do all that last as it'll be the hardest part, everything else such as needles, switches, buttons and levers all work as they've been tested through countless exports.
Cheers.

Does anyone know what happened to Ryan's Metra Budd cars? I am grateful that he released his Metra F40PHL and Nippon Shayro cab car models, I'm still having a great time with them. But I've been pretty much out of the loop with his progress.

Looks good, Logan! Can't wait to see the finished product. Don't cut corners in the process. I advise you.
Nice job, Opus!

That is amazing Opus! Keep up the work!
Here is the completed Body of the NP W-3 2-8-2.
Thanks,

Nice WM hopper! (The Southern isn't bad either, but you know, priorities)
Thanks guys, I need some help with this one though. It's a 70-ton 3 bay PS-3, about a foot longer and nearly double the number of panels than the AAR designs I posted earlier. I know the Clinchfield and L&N owned substantial amounts of them, but I don't know of any other operators. I've seen references to them for the Southern and C&O, but no pictures.
