Re: North Tahoe Narrow Gauge

Don't worry, I happen to enjoy making trucks. As weird as that sounds...

What is the number of the Gondola on the drawing? I will check the SP car record book for info.

Ben is absolutely correct about the RPKD date stencil.

Re: North Tahoe Narrow Gauge

That makes much more sense. There are still variations among that, but a 28' is good enough. Ironicaly, pipe boxes and flats are on my todo list after I finish the next round of projects. I have a ton of info on the cars, they are among my favorite C&C cars, after the two classes of ventilated b...

Re: North Tahoe Narrow Gauge

I am curious how you are making ALL SPNG boxes, when they aren't all the same length... ;)

Re: Playing with Blender

The management of the Colusa and Lake thank you for your handyworks.

It's even the right color. ;)

Coming Soon - Freight/Passenger Trucks

I spent some time going through old file backups in the past month and located my collection of gmax models I had been building for MSTS years ago. I may import some of the models directly, but my primary interest was the trucks. Many freight cars in Trainz seem to suffer from generic bogie syndrome...

Re: Rollins Pass NG36

I have a copy of the Baldwin erecting drawing for N-C-O 14 (NCNG 9) if you need any data. I have the drawing for the semi-cylindrical tender as well (the more difficult drawing to find). Sadly, I do not have a scan of this, but rather a full size print of the original drawing. I could attempt to pho...

Re: Playing with Blender

V. C. & T. was the "Virginia, Carson & Truckee". Apparently the "Lyon" was and sisters were all delivered lettered that way too. The reason for this is partly that Truckee Meadows (Reno) wasn't the initial destination, Carson was. So the V. C. & T. is a nebulous name ...

Re: North Tahoe Narrow Gauge

We can fix the striping fairly quickly once you're done with the mapping. The only thing I see that is out of place is the stripe around the domes would have been gold leaf instead of the white one you have there. Other things that catch my eye: The handrail stanchions look nice, but they're "t...

Nearing Beta

Over this last weekend I was able to spend some time working on the C&TL&F flat. I am pleased to report that I have finished: New texture for the sides of the car, based on my reference illustration for the cars.* First stake pocket is modeled and textured, next step is to clone it as needed...

Re: North Tahoe Narrow Gauge

The air-compressors would very well be black, but they could be painted. "Inyo" has a painted compressor in her restored form. This is a pretty minor detail so you can make the call. I should also point out that the part of the compressor with brass trim, is a russia iron wrapper. This was...

Re: North Tahoe Narrow Gauge

The SMR models are very nice, though their paint is a bit goofy. That is to say: there should be no black! Baldwin standards call for everything to be painted the base color, that includes the frame, cylinder body and everything in between. Otherwise, the striping and lettering is spot on. Unlike th...

Re: The Colusa & Lake (36ng) for Trainz

Glad you're enjoying it! I have been seeding Jean-Michel authentic Baldwin drawings for various pieces as he goes along. He has been so busy with the D&RG stuff as of late that I haven't bothered him about C&L #3 yet. As I mentioned in my "Four Projects" post, I am going to get an ...

Re: Four Projects

Norm, The loco is new, it is based on Togog's new D&RG class 25 locomotive. I assisted him in getting as close to accurate as possible Baldwin schemes for: D&RG #1 "Montezuma" D&RG #3 "Shou-wa-no" D&RG #12 "Las Animas" All three are now available from th...

Re: North Tahoe Narrow Gauge

I sent a message to him yesterday about helping to get the Bogie schemes right. No one gets them right online.. :( I also have all the drawings for these things (beyond the MasterClass stuff). Turns out, I know trainboi from elsewhere. That Bogie looks mighty nice! I will have to test it out later t...

Four Projects

It has been too hot to really do any work on the C&L route as of late, but I did manage to do a test run.

In the screenshot below there are four projects visible. Can you name them all?

I'll give you #1: Colusa & Lake Route (screenshot taken near Lurline).

;)
