Many thanks for the explanation Jontan. It was the Luttermoller system I was thinking of (I've often visited the site you give the ref. for). I notice that it has something in common with Heywood / Klien-Lindner system: the driving gear wheel is driven from a pin fixed in the ball on the fixed axle. K-L has this feature on the swivelling axles.

On the preserved railway in Wales where I am a volunteer we will soon have a working Rumanian 'Resita' 0-8-0T with K-L articulation. Having seen the underneath of another 'Resita', I don't envy the driver oiling up in the morning!

Last update for today, i can't bear to look at it right now.

As you can see a lot has been done since the last update.

Yep, that's my kind of engine!

Nice looking engine, and nice modelling too. I'm still only just getting the hang of SketchUp!

Seriously though, good work.

Quite a lot added now, also remodelled part of the cab as it was causing nasty shadows.

What type of valve gear is that? Looks fun to animate - I finally got my head around Baker by building a lego model. This looks cool though...

Not much an update as i've been clogged with University work, but i thought i'd show you what i'd done.

Currently working on the cab, which has lots of lurrrrvely pipes to have fun with.[/sarcasm]

Sorry i haven't updated in a while, had a bit of modelling to do for my University course which took priority.

My method of texture creation is... odd. And time consuming. But it seems to work.
