Hi
I have just finished modelling the body of RH&DR locomotive No. 14 Captain Howey.
It still has a few things to add to it - like it's name plate and the wheels (which I suppose are quite important!!!!!
) also I need to add the cab transparencies - My TGA Tools 2 wont let me do it. I can get the alpha channel programmed in but it doesn't seem to have any effect on the loco! - Any Ideas??!
Any comments?? (This is my first model using TSM so be nice!!!!)

Nice, what do you mean if you want i could have a look at it(not a complete expert) but i think i've figured out Alphas? If you would like. You have a PM.

The object needs to be set as TransNorm in TSM

Click item properties on your selected part, then matereal, then TransNorm.

Another problem though!
What do I need to do now because I can't see the back of the cab!?

Hi
Have you got a cab outer and a cab inner?
If so set the outer to AlphaNorm+ and link to main.
Set the inner to AlphaNorm- and again link to main.
You may have to use Polymaster to finaly correct the alphas, but this
Should allow you to see the inside of the cab.
Cheers........Reg

Looks good, although what gauge have you built it to?

The locomotive is now nearing completion. Took it out on a test run on the Lakeside and Sutton Railway today and everything seemed to run well! Currently running on a borrowed .wag file and a temporary cabview. (this will be fixed later
) The problem is that I can't get the wheels to rotate
! Could anyone explain how to do this or does someone want to do this for me? Please!

Other loco's for MSTS with no motion have no, animation but it is a nice feature. Is there going to be other detail's instead of: Max Speed = 30 mph?

Yes there will be something different here. The controls and guages will be here. That was just put there as a test basically!
