4-6-4 New York Central J2 Hudson Steam Locomotive

[jpetersjr]

Something I've been working on.

For now I'm just trying to build it, I don't know yet about animating it and getting it into the sim, but I would like to be able to do that though.

Wish there was more of Mike Rennie's building a steam locomotive tutorial, but I guess I can do it without it. Have already been working on this for about a month, opened it back up the other day and decided to try to finish it.

Pretty good for modeling.

[jpetersjr]

This engine will be a success, I hope.

The last few engines I've ever tried modeling has seemed to always hit a stump.

Excellent job so far!

Hey Guys, I gave him the blueprint drawings for this engine and I hope it gets to be really good.

[jpetersjr]

Can't seem to get the simple version of this in the game yet so I'm just going to wait on that part. I think tomorrow I'm going to start doing the trucks and more of the frame as well.

[jpetersjr]

Tomorrow going to put on the headlight, work some on the front and try to put on the plow and the front ladders.

[jpetersjr]

Some more progress on the engine, have started on the front part, next part will be the plow device.

It's starting to look like a locomotive Good job.

[Logan20131]

Good work buddy!

[jpetersjr]

What's a steamer without the plow to knock anything off the tracks that shouldn't be there.

I have to say, It's really cool, but I'd look at the cowcather design on this engine if you want it to look realistic.


Good luck!

Decided to add a little more to the head light, the number boards.

The real front looked like this.

Just like mine, and tomorrow I'll be adding the two steps.


Of course, I don't expect it to be perfect, only close.
