What kind of details would you like to see on the tender?
Levi & Appalachian WIP
- Thread starter Thai1On
- Start date
personally i'd love to see right where the hump is put the railroads initials or the engine number, idk keep it very bleak but add little things like a L&N engine, doesn't need to have pin striping but the little things like rivet detail and maybe info on the side

I'm not so sure about those two things, it appears that the geometry of the tender would cause the letters to be distorted, though I can darken the six axle trucks to match the tender color.

All of the good ones are payware and the one freeware pack is now no longer available, though I'd love to see a good 4-8-0 too. I might try the freeware one and get in contact with the creator to release it once I'm done though.

K&L involvement
I got a idea Thai1On, maybe you can talk to K&L about making assets for the L&A. not sure how we can try to start stuff as a partnership with them but I want to see if we can get Steve or somebody else on the K&L roster, maybe JR could help too (But that's probably pushing it) idk I would like to see if we can get professionals opinions on the route/rolling stock. but I want ot see some new hands helping your route and the rest of it.

Rocky Top. 'Cause that's the name of the song played by the University of Tennessee's Pride of the Southland Band whenever the football team scored a touchdown, and I've been a Tennessee fan my whole life, even though I've spent most of my life in Georgia. And both my mom and dad graduated from the University of Tennessee's Knoxville Campus.

How could this be able to happen if the L&A is set in a steampunk world?
yes, the L&A is in a sorta semi-steampunk universe like what thai1on has set up, but im taking a little libertys with that where my vision is that the L&A is in our world and runs like any other class 1, basically my idea is that this is like what it would look like irl after the process of desielization. I love the idea of thai1ons work but tbh, I feel the idea of the L&A works great on its own plus, it lets me have a creative spin on what he did. now this pic was meant to represent like 1987 or something when the L&A Historical Society (L&AHS) was raising money to restore the 4-8-4 Rocky Top no. 1999. keep in mind my idea is theres 2 worlds (not to be a Chris Chan about this lore btw) 1. our world, 2.is thai1ons semi-steampunk world. hope I didn't make it too confusing, lol.

Probably this week hopefully.
L&A Cf "Cumberland" class 2-8-2 #7019 in action
Do you think 7019 has a little Clinchfield vibe to it?

I could do that as a secondary variant, maybe for a second batch of 2-8-2s, though I'm not sure if I have parts I could take to do that. Fine idea either way!
