Ok, before anyone suggests i am overloading myself with work (which i am prone to doing), i have an 8 week holiday approaching and i wish to keep myself occupied.
I want to start work on a locomotive for Kuju's Rail Simulator, i am looking into maybe doing a diesel of some kind to begin with (less cylinders and poly eating shapes than a steam locomotive or streamline electric loco).
There are lots i could do, but i need the reference material in order to model it accurately and construct my own texture sheets for it.
So fire away, please only suggest locos that either you have reference material for or you know of somewhere you could attain reference material.
Cheers.

Class 08 0-6-0DS, most useful IMO.

If your Avtar image is a product of yours then an 08 is a touch under your skill base
.
Dont assume diesels have a lower poly count, done well there just as high, none the less l'd offer something like Kestrel, Lion, Falcon, or how about the WR gas turbines ?.

ALCo PA
Failing that, 10000 / 10001

Ooohhh good choice !, both PA and FA would be killer, CN for me please
.
If we're going global, ouch thats hard ?. Most US stuff is covered, Europe as well, states side it'd have to be the Alco 885, A and B units, that'll keep any designer quite for a good eight weeks
, for Europe l'd say RENFE 333 or 319, maybe a DR 219.

Any more suggestions?
I'm thinking of doing a class 14, so that i can bring my interior cab model over so that when KRS is released i can include them both in one awesome package (:

Just realised as i started to model it that i don't have any source material :/
If anyone has photos/plans they'll be greatly appreciated.
