Creating the environment, setting the scene

[dolphus]

Slow progress (to many distractions) here is the completed nose and tail ends of the loco

my target is to complete the loco by Saturday????????

[dolphus]

Still working working here is the 80% completed pantograph setup

[Swindel]

Wow all that stuff on the roof is impressive! How do you know all about it? Do you jump onto trains at night and take photos? Jks. Looking good!

[dolphus]

Hi Swindle, no I'm not thsat brave but use photos and a lot of artistic license, here is the completed pantograph (note one arm deployed and one in the docked position)

[tomislavm]

Super, this is what I like, precision and function!

[pilou]

Very pedagogic!

[Marian]

Wow, nice work there DOlf.
Man, I would pay to have your patience.

[dolphus]

Thanks for the kind words chaps (i am blushing) ...
Here is the total progress so far ...11.7 Meg my laptop is groaning at the seams

[dolphus]

Thought i would be finished by now ...but still some way to go...

You should bevel some more edges if your laptop can handle it, its always a pain when you want to go further but your computer wont let you!
Those electrical wires on top are great that must have taken forever! You 'HAVE' to render this you know.
