Not yet ... I haven't got as far as setting up the blueprints and organising the hierarchy of object groups in the source model, and I'd have to texture it before it'll export successfully. It's still some months away from reaching that step in the process.

Do you have more work done on it? I'd love to see some pictures again.

These are the latest ones:

Maybe he hasn't even decided yet. Calm down and enjoy the ride.

I'm leaning towards making it a true wood burner. The replica burns oil, but that was really a kind of artistic license for modern day operation of the replica. With the virtual model, I can take artistic license in the opposite direction and make my replica of the replica operate more like the original

It'll still have the air brakes, feedwater pump and injector, because I think those were on the original.
