Bobber Caboose

Turnout #5 frog


Still working on these. I plan to eventually create trainz versions of the bobber cabboose and the flat car for use in Trainz.

(Can't seem to get the forum picture option to work with hostthenpost. Direct links work ok.)
Edit: Oops! I Adblocked hostthenpost for some reason. Firefox now works ok.

Are those freelance or from plans?

The Bobber is from plans. I believe it was designed by Rudy Kouhopt. I believe the article was originally in Live Steam by Village Press. The drawings are in one of Rudy's books. (I am not sure whether I would need permission from Village Press to use this in Trainz or not.)
The flatcar was created from various drawings I found somewhere on the Internet.
The turnout switch was created partly from drawings published by a railroad company that sells castings and turnouts for 'full' size trains and partly from the NMRA standards.

I initially made these models to help me learn how to use Rhino 3d better.

Thankyou Kenny. I will probably work on a stationary object first to become more proficient in Blender. Then maybe the Bobber. I am also leaning towards making more logging camp type items.

We need some new TS12 switches with points. If anyone knows where to get newer ones then andi06's please let me know.

Cheers William
