Ohh I see, I think that's because in this particular case the engine wheels aren't in the cab model so they don't cast a shadow. It's quite common to do it on most engines to save polys in the cab model, Its just harder to see in some cases than others

emrhd01 noted:-
the wagons are showing wheel shadows, but the 2F Loco is not.
Not casting a shadow is a certain sign that you've sold your soul to the Devil! Be very wary of this locomotive - it may seduce your wagons! :evil:

Kind regards,

Very nice model. A minor nitpick - on the screenshots the LMS versions have numbers in BR font, which looks a little odd

Just watched, and listened to, the posted video.

Sounds absolutely wonderful and immersive, she chuffs and puffs and screeches and whistles just 100% like a real steam engine does!

Absolutely top-notch!

They are the XP type vans without the yellow dot on them with the docktank.

Thank you very much crumple! The yellow point stands for Bananas and without it is a standard van?

Anyone deleted Holzrollers answer (Thank you Holzroller! I like your humor too! :D ). He wrote yes, the yellow point means Bananas and without the point it is a standard van.

Yes, it would appear that somebody has deleted my answer without the courtesy of an explanation.

I also noticed it just now on the 3F Jinty, btw. It would be nice to have it fixed, since it's actually quite noticeable on these little shunting locos where you often half hang out of the window.

Cheers,
