Ok, lets see, whenever I attempt to modify shagster's shay the a wider or narrower gauge I have run into a problem. After exporting the cylinder rod-work I it refuses to appar in game. It is fully animated in GMAX and everything. Has anyone here had a similar problem?

Thanks,
Sam

That thing looks really nice. 8) And, yeah I've been having trouble with the rods of my shay, for some odd reason they refuse to appear in game.... :| I'll still give it a try though, maybe Pencil could give me a hand. I have a hunch that the parts somehow arn't parented to BR.Main in GMAX. I'll ...

A couple windows and doors would be nice, how about a door and window on one side and then a pair of windows on the other. And the textures are perfect! One other thing though, how about a pair of doors on the front for the loco?

Thanks,
Sam

Wha... Wha... WOW! That looks really good! How long have you been working with GMAX? A few months? The reason I ask is it took me about 6 months to get to the point where I could do stuff like that. Maybe I don't need to do the 30in one after all...

Lets see, Its on his website on the SG downloads page under the name "Alco Stock 0-4-0t.

It seems like the scanner won't be up and running for a while, so how about you build me a small freelanced engine shed big enough for Ben's Georgia Power #30. Sound good? Use that slightly weathered red and put some nice wood shingles on it. Just go easy on the polys, OK? I'm going to have it right ...

Oohhhhh... I though you wanted me to build the whole loco. Ok then, how about this, You can build the superstructure and then I'll modify the shay's "monkey motion" to fit it. Sound good? By-the-way, I still have to scan the building plans, so I'll do that ASAP. Its a fairly large structure with ...

Ken,
Ok, I've started work on the standard gauge version, 30in next.

Rick,
I might have to make it a 3-cylinder version, thats what Shagster's shay was. And I have an idea... could you make me a couple of buildings for me? If you want to do that I'l send you some drawings of what I want.

I can't ...

Hmmm... that one might be kinda tough.... but I'll give it a shot! This could be fun... lets see, its a woodburner right? 3ft gauge? Yes, I'll get to work as soon as I can.

I think I could adjust the bogeys to 30in, and if you want to take a whack at it the gamx files are on his website: http://www ...

Hey Rick, if you need a "personalised" shay to pull those cars, I have made several versions based of the one from shagster, I might be able to do something for you. Just send me some photos, drawings, or descriptions and I'll get to work!

Sam

I like the green version, looks real nice Rick! Wish I could make something that looks that nice.... You look like you have been building cars for years! So when are you going to try a locomotive? LOL, just kidding.

This time its from the logging transefer area, the steamer waits while the "lawnmower" switches(or shunts) the log cars (wagons as they call them in poland) around the loading area. I love the logging roads, whether ...

This shot is just a small section of the route, and the only detailed area (so-far) But I love the soundset for that little diesel, its sounds like somebody's lawnmower starting up.

Something I have always loved (since I found out about them) are polish railways, everything in general, narrow gauge in particular. This particular route is 600mm (2ft) and std gauge. Both steam locos are payware.

Waiting for the OK to proceed is the tiny class px38 0-8-0t+t while an ex-german ...

Oh wow... That stuff looks GREAT! I love it all, but that errr... ummm.. cute cabose (please pardon the c-word lol), is definately my favorite.
