Fun, yes! But, methinks it would need some serious LoD. :hehe:

I like the locomotive there. The design includes the kind of Functionality that I've been discussing with Shirako et al. I kind of find a Dragon a bit juxtaposed when mated with a Locomotive like that (Trains are hardly free, as it were, they're kind of more like oxen then anything else), but the design shows thought and imagination in its execution. Thanks for posting that. And I agree it would be interesting to see that kind of fictional locomotive in Trainz.

Nearly anything from this page would be fun to see modelled in Trainz.

Those locomotive actually give me the chills. For some reason, the drawings look creepy to me.

Remember what I said at the start of this thread? Design is Objective. Meaning most people will look at the same design and come to similar conclusions.... Even the site that is posted asks of the author "What was this man smoking?" (Of Siggi Steinhauer *sp).

This design inspired alot of silliness.....

I would definitely like to see the second Holman Horror modelled for Trainz.

(Note: Falcus' image is the first Holman Horror)

Ya know - from a practical standpoint (as if there was one with these items, lol) instead of having 2 stacks at the front of the engine - having a single one above each pair of cylinders would make more sense. Otherwise the exhaust steam must be piped all the way forward to the stacks in front. It would also give you an excuse for more exhaust smoke.:hehe:

Ya Ben I thot about doing that I'm prolbey going to beef it up much more. Here some progress shots I named her The Goliath 3-4-4-4-4-4-3 #6000 Shes a whooping 224ft long and wights in at 1.5 million tons 175,000hp & can't go around any craves or on any track with out crushing the rails making it pretty much useless. :hehe:

Now that's a curve straightener if I ever saw one :hehe:.

Here's an even sillier thought. Move the white exhaust pipes (which look like they come out of a V-8 on a hot rod) to where the cylinders are (all of them) and make the exhaust come out of them. Would only take 40 smoke attachment points, lol.

It turned out to be only 33 points they spit out flames, Goliath works in trainz well she takes a long time to build up steam and slow starting thordel at 1.5 then slowly increase it she gose 30mph I havet tested it with a long train the tender wights 1.7k tons woth of fuel. i may not even reless it.

I dunno about you guys, but that looks like the first CO-CO locomotive to me.

 

[ShirakoX32]

if we also brought in Airships it would be pretty cool. i've seen several fantastic looking pictures of some
