I am moving in a slightly new direction....switching or as it is called here in South Africa "shunting".
The first element required for switching/shunting is switches/points.....

Some of my less satisfactory work Passenger trains.....
...but I have not given up the best is yet to be drawn....watch this space
-
Well we're watching and waiting, Dolphus - although maybe silently - we still enjoy every image
...fantastic modeling -
Astonished work
Have you a plan for a top view "circuit" where all that can be moving?
-
Thank you d12dozr for your comment, I must say that sometimes the SILENCE is deafening...
Pilou sadly only in my dreams...one day when I get a supercomputer that is not intimidated by my biggest enemy..polly count then i will be in modelers heaven (nice big layout by the way is it yours?) -
Start of the Main Driving Trucks of a GE AC4400 locomotive....

I think your double Decker passenger trains are great, not sure about the textures on the first one out of the three, the third is my favorite!
-
Thanks for the comment Liam I am not really very happy with either of them I must still learn a great deal about using textures, the trouble is that i enjoy making names and logos in cad form then creating 3d images in SU and "branding then (intersecting) with the model but i will have to mak an effort to "texture" properly

It's like drinking fresh water under Heath , I'm dreaming each time I see your drawing.
