OK Small update, done some more fiddling with the numbers, and now I get a slightly smaller jump and the bogies come together more. One thing is the error has changed now to "Player train derailed" Any ideas how to fix it? Edit: Could it be that the mesh height is a issue - the Class 76 has a flat b...

Looks good! Am I right that this is the same model as the pic on Andi M.'s site?

Yes - same model

Hi,

I have used Sketchup to make the mesh, and then used Blender to texture and export the model

Hi I am trying to figure out how to get my loco to join up with the bogies and not start flying due to "Consist Tilt" I have tried numerous values for the collision boxes pivots etc, all giving the same response. I have even tried the Values from the Class 76, but still same. I have just tried start...

Ok thanks very much

I plan to keep a unjoined version as well, just in case

Hi OK so I currently have a bogie, made out of several parts, which was fine when the bogie was essentially a locomotive (and not requiring to be named boxx). However, now, I need the bogie to be a bogie (ie named bo01). Can I do something so that all my parts are "lumped" together so it can be call...

OK this seems a reasonable idea. So invisible bogie/wheel wouldn't need a mesh, so theoretically could have a wheel radius of 1cm and bring it in real close, OK, will have a go, see what results I can get (once I stop the current flying loco situation I currently have)

OK now got a new issue... I have brought everything together now, and when I click on the locomotive it shoots up into the sky. I worked out the collision boxes data from here: http://www.christrains.com/ts_faq_pivotcouplings.html with the collsision box of the loco calculated to be a gap in between...

Edit: My Mistake - it was a dodgy blueprint it seems

Ahh thanks!

Found the relevant blueprints now.

Will my invisible bogies need to be powered though? - the 76s aren't, but that will be slightly different due to the powering isue

OK I think I have spotted a couple of .bin files in the Woodhead 76, called "BodyworkBogie", "BodyBogie" and "BogieBogie" I am assuming that one of these is the file for the invisible bogies, but I tried using "edit with Notepad++" but it brings up gibberish with a load of "NULS"

OK Bogie is now finished, and finally has a working electric pickup!

Yes I thought about that - is there anyway to look at the bogie Blueprint files to see how they sorted out the collision boxes and how they reference invisible bogies?

The aim is to get it to run from one controller in diesel mode, and another controller in electric mode

*hopefully...
