The screenshots look like photos of the full scale boxcar! Very impressive, great work.

I've a good memory for whatever I can remember!
If you wait for perfection you will never do anything but it doesn’t stop you wanting it.
Age doesn’t stop you, it just slows you down.
If you only learn one thing in life - learn to think how your actions and words affect others BEFORE doing or saying.

I've always struggled to capture the look of metal boxcar running boards. I've finally found something that I am happy with:

Struggle no more! Now that is detail. Absolutely superb, it looks like a mid 60s hi quality publicity shot for Pullman sales dept.

Thanks for the compliments. This was my first export from the latest version of Blender (2.83) using the latest Briage exporter, but I just noticed the car is no longer casting shadows. Looks like another puzzle to solve.

Found a Cast Shadows check box in the exporter that I had never had to check before. I did not realize the casting of shadows is associated with the objects material and not the object itself.

As the resident Erie guy and aficionado of up close and personal brakeman action .....
So, tell me, can I pack the bearings on these bad boys or what?

I have thought about doing that car, but I have a couple of old projects I would like to finish up first. Does Jointed Rail have one of those we might see sometime?
