Hi James
That is easy enough...just add a passenger view to the locomotive...and position it so your looking out the rearview tender window.
I'll post the actual settings if you want later this evening.
The tricky part was that in reverse the tender jumps around and was driving me mad...hence my earlier post.
Now it just gently sways on track imperfections...which is as it should be.
As I turned the tender (reversed shape) into the engine and the loco into a dummy (reversed in consist)......the physics are correct in the consist....msts is happy and non the wiser.
Cheers
Jon

Ps Wouldn't help Geoff as although the front coupling becomes a rear coupling....the rear coupling becomes a new front coupling....

Only problem so far is the usual "sticky" front coupler and even that came apart at the third attempt.

Lovely weathering. Just perfect.







Your heart may be with NG Kev (?) but with talent like this there's just a few smaller SG workhorses that could do with your treatment.

Geoff

Thanks, Geoff.

Have to admit that my heart is with NG. Ever since the day, in fact, I wondered onto Towyn Wharf platform and saw "Edward Thomas" and its train of small red coaches. That was way back in August 1966 (now that gives my age away! Mind you I was young at the time)

Having said that I have rather enjoyed making the Ivatt so I'm sure it won't be the last SG from me.

Hopefully, we should have a fix for the tender problem, that some people have experienced, shortly.

Cheers,
Kevin

Hi Colin,

I've not been able to make much progress, the last couple of days, due to other commitments. I'll put up a screenshot as soon as I've done a bit more work on her.

Cheers,
Kevin

[kevmt]

OK, here's a progress shot on the 2mt tank with some of the texturing in place. Only work in progress, and still a lot to do.

Cheers,
Kevin
