I have been watching this thread for a long time. From where there was uncertainty if these glorious RS3s could be even be made. Now look at em!
Normally, I would continue to lurk and then noticed your location. C'mon how bout some Jersey lovin already.

Two simple words my friend:
STEAM GENERATORS

Trust me - there is a route for this thing ... I know a guy!

How about you make the giant leap and get one of these beautiful models in game?

The page before this one has pictures of these locomotives in Freight Car form. So some of these beauties are already in the game.

My first HO scale trainset was from AHM,and contained the Erie Lackawanna RS 3. So it would be kind of cool to see it in the program.

That can just be a reskin of one of the over a dozen models he has going so far Unless he chooses to extend his models out even further. The guy still has a lot of work ahead of him. Modelling is one small part of the creation process. You gotta give him a chance to write some code and do some texture mapping instead of bugging the poor guy about making every rs3 that ever existed lol.

I've finally made some progress on the trucks!

I know Minerman will appreciate this specific version of it

Dang Straight I appreciate it! The RS3 was UBIQUITOUS for hauling commuter Booton and Stillwell coaches. I have seen pictures of them in Denville. And I saw the real deal when I was a little Minerman.
AND furthermore, I, your friendly Minerman, has personally seen up to 7 - RS3's pulling freight on the very line I work on.
If anyone reading this knows anyone who would be interested in building Boonton or Stillwell coaches - reach out to me via PM

Ryan - I saw your location and took a chance - thinking that the Steam Generator would be a draw for you - because its a bit unusual. I am blessed by your work. If you need ANYTHING built in Jersey City, reach out to me and it will be done. I am also offering to build out Jersey City to the South! Just say the word.

"Back to drooling over Ryan's RS3*

Looking good.

Currently working on the cab interior

This is what it originally looked like

This is it now

RS3 Cab After.jpg

It's hard to tell from the above pictures, but the seat and the control stand are slightly bigger. Here's some top down pictures that show it better.

Yes, that's the correct gauge panel.

Coming along real nice there Ryan!

[ryan9550]

I made a thing!!


There's plenty wrong with it still, but that's not what's important. What's important is the fact that I managed to make an engine that moves under it's own power!!

Now I can finally focus on finishing something and then work on getting it fully functional.

Thanks for reading!!

Great progress on the engine, can't wait to later maybe be able to take the engines for a run in the sim.
