(W.I.P) Southern MS1 2-8-2

[ryan9550]

I know what everybody's thinking, I know that In need to finish my other projects before starting more. But I really enjoy modelling and I really do plan on finishing all of them.

But anyway, here's my newest project:

This is what the curved section on the front part of the frame looks like, in order to get detail like this you need to have a lot of vertices.

This last one is a sneak peek at something I hope I can make work

Me like. Will this come in the crescent green scheme?

Yes

I'd still say that first you should try to get something into the sim, perhaps some more advanced scenery, like an airplane.

If you can get something like that into the sim it would be a stepping stone to getting these locomotives running in the sim.

Perhaps you should try a Boeing 747.

I don't want to come off as rude, but I'm actually working on another piece of scenery

I started this a few months ago and have been working on it on and off. This was actually commissioned by GenericZack, all it needs is a roof and textures. I've also made this whistle post that's in the file library

Sorry if it seems like I'm coming off as rude, I don't mean to.

Here's more progress on the frame

Southern MS1 2-8-2 Frame #3.jpg

The main part of it is almost done. It just needs the holes for the axles, the lead/ trailing truck frames and other details.

I don't think you need to worry about it. You haven't done anything rude, unlike the people who come into content creator's threads and beg for unrelated scenery models. That's rude.

This is very promising! As sort of a fun side note, has anyone ever considered the Ms-2, which was an early version of the Ms-1 with another 2-8-0 chassis underneath the tender, much like an Erie Triplex?

This is the best I could come up with. There doesn't appear to be much about these engines because the only pictures I could find are of brass models https://brasstrains.com/Classic/Product ... S-2-Duplex

Woah! I must say, I wasn't expecting the Ms-2 tender, but Wow! Not sure if there is a way to make that tender functional as motive power in-game, but it looks really cool!
One more question, will you make early and late versions of the Ms, since the Ms-2 was an early version, with high-mounted headlight, and other various differences aesthetically?

I'm going to base the MS2 off of the brass model that I found pictures of and I suppose I can make an early version of the MS1.
