BruceB · Post by **BruceB** » Sat Feb 22, 2003 11:24 pm

Has anyone got any photos of cabs/footplates of Quarry Hunslets?
If so please post them here.

I am about to start work on a Quarry Hunselt cab view for Train Sim and need some photos!

Thanks

Bruce

Not sure if you've seen this one?

Nothing higher-up I'm afraid...

Bruce,

You now have 2 emails - not off Quarry Hunslets but various controls and gauges from photos of Talyllyn and Isle of Man engines which I have... which may be of help to you.

Thanks Batroost, very helpful.

Pitleyfalley: only one email arrived here and the photo wasn't in it! Please try again, thanks.

The bolier is a bit tall, and there is no detail yet, but its a start!

Bruce,

1. You now have another email with more bits and bobs in.
2. Well done its looking very good. And i look forward to seeing the final result. Will be nice to eventually distribute Alice class hunslets with thier own cabs.
3. One thing that has struck me is that on narrow gauge engines the drivers view is quite high so the camera should be a lot higher, id say in line with the top of the firebox.

Work with the cab is progressing, but I really need more photos (perticually of the top part) before I can continue. Pitleyfalley: the camera angle has now been changed so that you look down on the firebox. Since the screens I posted I've started again, so it looks a little different now!

looking good i think the cab sides are a bit thick though. All we need now is some authentic Hunslet sounds.

I'm afraid the cabsides won't thin! The only thing I can do is start again and I don't think I can face that!

Looking Very nice! What software are you using for those renders? It will be nice to have something better than a scotsam cab on something like a hunslet!

BruceB · Post by **BruceB** » Mon Feb 24, 2003 7:48 pm

The program I'm using is PTC ProDESKTOP 2000i2, which is (for a 3D design program) easy to use (thank goodness!), a disavantage though is that it is only for rendering 3D pictures, and so doesn't export to TrainSim

. Are well, good for cabs!

I learned Proengineer at university and its a very good program if a little unstable at times. I am presently using Prodesktop by the same company which is the 'lite' version because i could aquire a copy to use on my computer. I too wish I could export directly to MSTS but the best solution i have found so far is to draw components in prodesktop and export them as vrml files which can be imported into 3d canvas. My biggest problem is that my computer does not get on with the MSTS Engineer plugin and so I have to build everything by hand and I am still trying to fathom how to get MSTS to accept objects from 3d canvas. (See my other threads for details) Its nice to see that if the loco modeling does not work I may be of use in building cabviews.!

Cheers

Gareth

No progresss I'm afraid as preperation of coursework and revison for exams will mean I will have to have to step back work a little.

Sorry.
