The couplings don't half look superb. Thanks for the simulations portbury.

Absolutely wonderful, incidently regarding the couplings, didnt the WHR use ones with a more square 'front' like on the WHR(P)? I've never really got the difference between the different chopper designs and who used what, so i apologise if im barking up the wrong tree

Chris

The couplings (and the buffer faces) are correct by the photos I have, even the angle of the nuts holding them on is right! I always like to see 1-1/2 threads of the stud poking out beyond the nut, how about it, Kevin!

Thanks for the comments,

As far as I can tell, all NWNGR stock kept the round couplings when absorbed into the WHR. The Baldwin did have a square faced coupling, though.

We'll have to see about the stud, Andrew!!!

Cheers,
Kevin

ok it looks good (i like train with small wheels and whide bodies) but where do i get it from i want i want

If you actually bothered to read the thread, you'll find that its still a work in progress, and not released

I understand your new to UKTS, but it only takes 2 minutes to skimread a thread and find out vital information.

i have read it but thear is so many thing going on it all a bit confusing :s

erm, not really... Each screenshot shows its been a bit more completed. But the last one still shows it as grey...

a la, unless you intend to drive an unfinished, grey loco in a non-released simulator [KRS version anyway], you'll just have to be patient

(thanks for the coupling info, my memory of Gowrie is a bit poor - there arent too many photos of her and the ones i can find and remember are all side on. I thought i was barking up the wrong tree!)

Chris

gotta say, its looking really good there Kevin, i love unusual locos like Gowrie


(talking of couplings i was at the WHR(p) recently and saw the Bagnell 4-4-0 they have there at the mo, they were having a hell of a time trying to get it to couple up to the train!, slightly different styles of chopper couplings i guess)

Yeah, i saw a pic with it missing one, i think they were put on specially... explains why last time she was used it was top n tailed apparently

Thanks, Wookey.



I realised all my renders have been of the left side of the loco, so here's one of the other side!!

Time to start a bit of texturing, I think.

Cheers,
Kevin

I'm afraid I've run out of superlatives for this now... Let's just say my anticipation for the finished model is stronger than ever!

The only problem, Murray, is that the model will never look as good as this in any trainsim
This is always the problem with render shots, and I do wonder if it leads to dissapointment when people finally get to see the model in the game? Renders do make it easy to show the detail, though.

Kevin

Kevin - Wait till you see it rendered in TS2 with DX10 and Vista with all the extra shader options. You may be pleasantly surprised

Yes, but will I be able to afford the computer to run it on!
