Do you know why it has the door and setback at the front?
No on my part it is just "artistic licence"...i thaught it looked cool but i also realised it would add to aerodynamic drag.... but i went with cool?

The extractor fans of the loco

I recieved a whole bunch of South African Railways Locomotives drawings but am confused and not sure who sent them to me numthum or Gaieus so i must thank both of you or the one that sent the plans ...very much appreciated i will start working my way through them....watch this space ... once more thank you very much
-
I got so excited looking at the plans of the SAR locos that i just had to start on one this is the E5 1 electric loco ( i saw hundreds of them pulling anything from freight to passesger trains when i was still young and good looking).......brings a big lump to my throat.....here is the start .......watch this space
-
I wish I had your enthusiasm and dedication to details, dolphus.
Keep it up. And I will watch this space for sure.

Hehe seen alot of these, They are still around Dolfus armed with Salt air Rifles,burns like crazy if they catch u walking around on the lines hehe
-
Numthumb thanks for the plans and the flattering remarks.....working on first loco
Matius you are not supposed to climb the fence into the rail reserve....naughty naughty,,,, -
Class 5E 1 Progress ....Front right section

Started work on the bogies

Thanks for the complement James, mostly i model from scratch but that is because my computer,s filling system lets me down, and it is faster to start from scratch, the advantage of doimg the same thing again normallt leads to a improved product
( i shpuld take a month offand sort my s**t out) -
Hi Dolf,
I missed that thread before. Just found out about your train stuff. Very nice. I'll make sure to follow this thread.
Looking forward to seeing the finished model.
Best,

Hi, Dolf and everyone else.
I found this site and this post while researching Trains.
Your work here Dolf inspired me to get Sketch Up and try and
model some sort of train related thing like a Box Car, Flat Bed,
or maybe a Tanker.I spent this whole weekend gathering reference material
about or of Trains in particular Trucks or if you prefer Bogies
because I figured that would be the best place to start a train modeling project.
Start from the ground up right?
While I admit I don't really know Sketch Up all
that well I have been doing computer graphics on
and off for 11 years.
If you guys want I can give you all my reference
images and drawings.Maybe they will be of so help to you?In return all I ask is that you just use them as reference
and education because all of it is from the web and also you share
with me any information you might have that will help me model the
objects required to complete the 3D train model like a Flat Bed Car
for example.
Kind Regards,
Jeff Andrews -
Great updates, Dolphus

Liam are you going to volunteer?
I'd like to try rendering one of these...if you want, send to email deleted.

Hello I'm new member,I'm studying railway engineering and I'm realy interested in railway disk brake and pad.so would you mind sending me best drawings and references of disk brake and pad for modeling this system in solidwork ? tnx

This is your first post and already asking for gratuitous serious work by the members here. You might do better if you simply asked for some direction as to references in your field of interest.
This is a friendly forum, but please....baz

What a coincidence. I was just thinking about dolph and his excellent train designs the other day.
BTW, where is he?

... and I have been making some tracks to run them on. When a bit more developed I will link up with Sketchup to provide 3D close ups to show off locos, stations, cuttings and so on, something like Street view and Google maps. For a look at what I have done to date open this in Chrome browser.
