          Do you know why it has the door and setback at the front?

          With TBA interfaces we can analyse what is to be achieved so that IT can help with automation to achieve it.

              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?

                    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

                                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,

                                  _KN

                                  Follow Your Dreams.

                                    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? ๐Ÿ˜Ž

                                    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

                                          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....
