Oooops! images to follow.............

Sorry about that. The screenshots showed old textures.

The model is complete now and these are the finished textures. Next job is to get it into the sim......

Cheers

Looking very good so far.

The Font and numbers don't look quite right and could probably do with some minor adjustments...

It may be the fact it isnt in the sim yet, but in the first shot , should the tender wheels on the other side be seen?

Hi Danny,

I like all of your Southern Railway locos. For sounds and cabs, I tend to alias them to my Southern Region BATS stock, cos I think their sounds and cabs are pretty accurate. Keep up the good work and I hope to see more lovely locos soon.

Cheerio, Doug

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Paul - you're very observant!

I don't have the correct font so I used the closest I had. Many thanks for posting the Southern letters and numbers.

Kieran, I think it's just the angle of screenshot - I'll post another when I've added Paul's lettering.

Doug, I do the same at home - but there's no way I could include these in an upload.

Hi
Finally found time to drive the wonderful Stephenson. ........ but I'm having front coupling troubles.
I did find that the buffers section was missing in the engine file.... but that hasn't helped.
I did the usual trick of removing 0.3 from the inertia box, and this has worked on the tender.... but not the loco.
Just wondered if anyone else has tried the front coupling ?
Cheers
Jon

Theokus and John - thanks for your support.

Jon,

I had problems in trying to adjust the loco to tender gap. It's a while ago now, but I think I moved the tender forward as far as I could whilst still remaining coupled to a carriage. Then I moved the loco back to form a reasonable gap with the tender. I was concerned that this would upset the front coupling operation, but it worked OK when I tried it with a carriage - although it didn't look that pretty, I reasoned that most players would pull rather than push. Kieran did his own independent tests for me, and his worked OK too.

Hi
Thanks Danny......... I thought something weird was happening.
Now I've manged to 'shift' the tender forward by 0.53 (in SFM), and the tender/loco gap is correct, but now the wheels are 'animated' off centre.... even though I stripped out the redundant animations.
So I was wondering whether you could shift it in your original modelling programme ?
Its not so much pushing coaches, as pulling them backwards.
Its such a lovely model, I tend to run as a preserved line....slow speeds...lots of detail... and they don't turn locos all that often.

Or if anyone else has found a cure .......... please post.

Cheers
Jon

Er, not sure how to do this Jon.

I've been centreing the axis of each part to the Object. Each Object is a child of the footplate (main) and then the main is centred to origin - position 0,0,0. This puts the loco or tender on the rails OK, but how you shift fore and aft I just don't know. And do you move the loco or tender or both? I guess I could move the main axis but goodness knows what this would do to all the parts! New as I am to modelling, I'm a bit reluctant to try something so drastic............Strange, I never had this problem with the MN which seemed to have the corrrect gap from the start.

Are there any modellers that can advise? I know Mickrick had similar problems recently, and there wasn't an easy solution.

jbilton · Post by **jbilton** » Sat Nov 15, 2008 5:09 pm

Yes sorry I'm afraid I can't help with the modelling part Danny

Its certainly kept me busy today ....... but unfortunately I haven't won.
Although I've now got reasonably distances, using the original tender, still can't front couple.
SFV reports that the models are actually some 1 metre longer than the eng file states.... but putting those figures in brings back the huge centre gap.
MSTS at its most awkward best.....

Cheers
Jon
