Oh I see, TANE is ahead of Train Simulator in handling more polycounts.
I have a RailRight's Class 40 which gives dump error sometime.
Shame on DTG as they can not make the game 64bits.

Actually, I'm using the amount of detail put into the AP Class 40 as inspiration for mine. Of course there is not much detail yet, but I hope to cover each and every variation of the Blue and Green era.
However with a loco with that many minor body differences, including 5 different headcode patterns of the same era, I can't use body textures in each asset, that's 2 x 2048x2048 textures for each of 30+ variations! I may have to make a base asset with changeable nose ends, optional vents, plated footsteps, etc. to keep the texture count low.
But for your loco projects I can't imagine you doing that considering that each Indian Rail loco runs into the 1000's and each and every shed seems to want to do their own minor tweaks and of course, liveries!

Due to a vast variety of rolling stocks in Indian Railways, there is no need to make each variety of stock. The famous one can be worked out.
Here is a video I found on Internet, which I had planned to make in future -
YDM4 had many sheds like Lumding, Sabarmati, MHOW, Izatnagar etc. YDM4 was a unique successful Meter Gauge Locomotive.
I am waiting for TRS19 so that many new features of graphics can be implemented on the Locomotive.
I had exported YDM4 MHOW to RailWorks and it looks horrible because of old graphics engine and no support to dedicated environmental mapping.

Definitely I would like to see which loco is that? Name or Link.
Thanks.

Getting there. If I can quit playing paparazzi with the cameras in Blender, it'll get done faster! hah

Nice work on the U50.
An emigrant car, I'm assuming? It looks fantastic.
With 26 in game, I decided to revise my other two engines to match her. 21 was no problem - mostly a couple details, feature, and material updates. 23, well, she had a bit of a scaling issue, so I've had to take things back to the drawing board.
Now that she's got the correct driver size and wheelbase, rebuilding her should be a cakewalk.

Blender is prolly your best bet, unless you want to spend money on 3dsMax.
Let me guess, student version from a college course? I've never looked into 3ds max too much, but thought about it a few times.

Blender is good.
Blender is light weight.
Max is for professional who work in Big Studios as they can purchase license.
