Heavyweight Locomotive Design

Bob James

I know it's a heavy model... But I would make those wheels and a few of those curves more detailed. meaning increase the segments of the curves.

I agree. A model this beautifully outstanding deserves the best. Bravisimo.

You too Ken! I don't comment much but I always look up on your awesome work!

Hey thanks! I also stumbled on another much older model (from last year I think). I considered uploading it on the warehouse at the time but it's much too large (about 40mb). Mostly because I didn't model very efficiently and I didn't care to reduce complex geometry or delete unseen faces. Anyway, here are a couple of renders.

No, I'm not Polish. I live Hungary, but apparently I have some polish lineage or something.

btw, the Px48 in the render is a well known polish locomotive. http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Px48

When I was a teen I used to follow Model Railroading and was fascinated by articles that were tutorials on building models like this in brass and motorizing them. This work appears to involve many of the same skills and passions, without requiring a lathe or drillpress. I linger with pleasure over the photos. There is beauty here in your remembrance of some beautiful machines.

Thank you. The truth is I look over lots of paper model builds (mostly because the people building these models painstakingly document their work, making building individual pieces in 3D much easier, along with some factory blueprints). They're also very fun to build. I have many more renders here if you like- http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=81%26amp;t=54436 (one of the images has a faulty valve gear, I know). They're all Eastern European locomotives
