Really loving the intricate plumbing on the 9000. Looks awesome. Can't wait to see more. The 800 looks good as well.

that looks really nice!
Ive been working on some pieces of WM rolling stock, have quite a bit to do yet though.

i released it as a mesh pack, it was based from WM diagrams (here it is https://kmaster2007.wixsite.com/baltimorelocoworks/copy-of-locomotives-1)
It is indeed a Hughes/Fowler LMS Crab. Here's another of Hughes' creations, the 1925 rebuild of the 'Dreadnought' 4-6-0...

Y'all. Learn from my mistake. MAP OBJECTS AS YOU GO..... it will save you so much time and pain. That's mainly why the Horizon is taking so long. Have a good night
Not quite right, the valve spindle should be (usually) connected below the combination lever/valve rod joint. As you have it the combination lever isn't doing anything to effect the valve travel. As it is though, it's still better than most of the models we already have in Trainz...
Why is it a mistake? Maybe I've been doing it wrong the last 20 years, but I always map last, once the mesh is finalised. This avoids unwrapping the mesh multiple times while you tweak it.
Using Smart UV Unwrap and the UVPackMaster (paid for) addon, unwrapping takes only a few minutes in Blender.

Packmaster really helps that much? Last time I (semi-manually) unwrapped a full mesh it took about an hour by hand, and it was only one FM container.

I should clarify, and thats my bad. Whenever you have objects that you're going to clone, i.e. bolts, grab irons, piping, it's better to make one, map, and then clone it. Other objects that may need refinement towards the end can wait, but I'm having to go back and map multiples of the same thing. Just a process I'm learning works better and a little more efficiently for me.
Thanks for the tip (And the compliment). I will try and modify it. And as always, very nice work.
I like to unwrap my mesh last using Blender's Smart UV Unwrap. It saves a lot of time. However, your method for the pipes and cloned objects would save even more time.
