Well at last this loco is finished, i had a great time "building" it.....hope you like it too....?

P.S. Only after I had posted these pics I noticed a glaring omission ....wonder who will spot it?

Sir,,

Not to throw cold water upon a great effort, but it seems to me that the handrail running the length of the loco, needs some supporting posts.

I truely enjoy your work and hope you continue.

best

Look how grand our Brookville BL20G locomotive has become, all shiny bright out of the wash bay ready to haul a fancy passenger train……….rendered by Marcus alias d12dozr
thank you Marcus you really did the loco proud

Cheers, Dolf...glad you like it - of course any good render starts with a good model

Sometimes I feel like inflicting pain on myself then i decide to draw a steam loco (my first love) but the polly count goes out the window before I've even got going

In my dreams i dream of a mega laptop that can deal with 100mb drawings......

Time to get my feet back on the ground for a while.....back to my other love....
I am re-starting a project that stalled a while back A GE AC4400

Hi, I am new to this site - I found it whilst searching Google images. Having looked through the gallery there are some really impressive models on this site!!

What I am actually looking for is a close up of a block brake assembly and a close up of a disc brake assembly on a train. It is for an illustration in my PhD thesis, which is all about rail brakes. Does anybody here have such an image that they would be happy for me to use?

Thanks,

Will
