(WIP) S2 ...a little more progress

Unread postby dogmouse » Wed Mar 27, 2013 11:03 am

Howdy ya'll,

Well, this little Alco seems to be running ok in the sim, now, ~ in STOP/GO mode, anyway. I'm still ironing out some of the visual glitches here and there, but ...it's a good time to start moving along to animations !!*ok*!! Much and Many thanks to the people who have been helping me along in here, in the forums, and in private. I really do appreciate this community, and soon, we might have another switcher added to our arsenal!

Hope you're all doin well, and enjoying our craft!

The S-2 Looks Great! Having worked with the Tioga Central S-2 #14 back in the 80's this is great to run one again virtually.
More Alcos please, like the RS-1.

Our SW1 has friction bearings. It's a switcher though, and wont go any faster than 20 MPH.

What's the news on this dogmouse?
