AMBITIOUS PROJECT - PACIFIC 4-6-2 P-10
-
when i starter on the GP 9 DIESEL LOCO MY HEART WAS SAYING "WE SHOULD BE DOING A STEAM LOCO ... NOT A f!#$%^ING DIESEL
But i fairness the GP 9 gave me the confidence to tackle a detailed steam loco my choice was dictated by
the plan that i could get i still only have a side view (no plan or front/rear or sectional views) anyone know where i can get more steam loco plans?
However i will have to guess, deduce and thumb suck to create a 3d model from the plan that i have
Progress so far
-
Sounds like a very interesting and exciting project.
Looking forward to the updates (I can recognise this particular part actually) 
I won't promise that I start searching for plans like a madman now but if I encounter something interesting and relevant, I'll definitely let you know.
-
OK, a link update. Here is a (Hungarian) link collection for "railway modelling". Many of the links go to English language sites so don't get scared right away. The very first one I clicked on is kind of promising: "Steamlocomotive dot Com" with lots of further links I'll let you explore now as I had no sleep last night at all (and anyway...)
Have fun and let us have fun, too.
BTW could you, at this early stage of modelling, reverse all back faces? It's not too late yet IMO.

Thanks Gaieus i will start exploring right away.. keep you posted
-
I DID NOT MAKE MUCH PROGRESS TODAY,,,STILL LOOKING (THANKS GAIUS)FOR FRONT VIEW AND PLAN VIEW, THE WHEELS ARE TRICKY BUT CAME OUT FAIRLY WELL
-
Well I will be watching this one as I am a train buff by birth
-
Looks good. I may make a steamy to someday.
-
The boiler is not drawn accurately yet and some of the valve components nee tweeking
-
Love the progress.
-
Today i was preoccupied with "real world things" like earning a living sa i took a break from the main project and drew a rolling stock unit after all the loco is going to need trucks
All-Purpose “Husky Stack” well car
-
Progress is slow i kept looking at the main driving wheel something was not right so i re-drew then now i am happy with the loco's wheels, maybe it will go faster now
