(W.I.P) GE 25 Tonner (Question About Possible Freight Cars to Add)

[ryan9550]

I don't remember the details (sorry) but I'm pretty sure it's got something to do with the coupling distance. The game thinks you're having a collision before you reach the couplers.

I don't know if this helps, but here's what the blueprints look like.

In case anybody was wondering, the exterior isn't finished yet; I thought I'd start working on the cab for right now.

Here's the logging caboose again. In addition to this caboose I'm interested in adding a couple more cars, but I'm not sure what else to add or know where to find plans for them. If anybody knows where to find some please let me know, Thanks

Here's the progress of the first switch plate on the control stand plus the start of the throttle

Looks good
Are you still doing the RS3?

Yes. Once this is finished, I'll start working on the RS-3 again. I've put too much work into it to give up on it.

The mistake I made was the horizontal offsets for the axles. I should now have no issues with making rolling stock. The logging caboose is about to get a lot attention pretty soon!!!

I do think you should get the caboose completely finished and running first before you do much more on the engine, it should help in figuring out the blueprints, making your cab interior and putting the cab view in.

I think the logging caboose would be a very interesting model to have in the sim as well.

I completely agree with getting the caboose done first, seeing it up and running is something I'm really looking forward to.

I'm currently in the process of making new truck frames for the caboose.

The first picture is of the old frame that's been a place holder up until now. It's actually and old frame from something I was doing a few years ago.

The next picture is of the new truck frame.

I also added brakes to the trucks because I forgot about them

There's still plenty left to do before it's finished, but I'm really happy to finally see it in-game for the first time
