I'm going to release it as is. I'll do updates later. I want to do some other things to my models as I learn how, anyway.

Have fun!

OK, guys, here she is in all her glory converted from TSM to 3DC for Trainz.

It's my favorite model, as though you couldn't tell. LOL

A branch line water tank (static);

I'll release it if anybody wants it. Took me over an hour to duplicate it from TSM. Sheesh!
It also had a 3 foot square pump house but don't know where that is. I can add it or just release that separately.

Gotta learn animation and attachment points in 3DC to set it up as it was in MSTS, though.

:D

I don't seem to have any problems with either you or Norm when it comes to sending stuff. At least for the time being, if you like, try sending the signal shack to me first and then I'll pass it on to Norm.

Thanks, Ken. We're using Gmail, now so everything is OK.
Don't know why Norm can't get through to me through Yahoo, though. Puzzling...

Couldn't resist, had to try to lean the lid against the barrel and came up with this new asset; (I'm still learnin')

Image

It's the 55 gallon version of an old rain barrel.

What'd you do, detach the lid from the main mesh? The cover needs a wood handle similar to what's on a concrete float. You're getting better and better.

No, I made these barrels in two parts, a body and a lid, hence, poly=340.

Got to admiring my own water tank and it hit me. That tank body would make a pretty good old 36" NG tanker or a fire wagon for track side fires. Would need to be resized a bit, but...

Yep, the V&T had at least one water tank car with a tank like that. (I know, I know, the V&T isn't narrow guage) :D

I've got a couple of IHC HO PRR watertankers with that style tank. Don't know if it was prototypical, but they're pretty nice looking once I repainted them to get rid of the yellow mustard color.

That's pretty much what I had in mind. Nice!

Hey, anybody got the basic dimensions for the width of a 3 foot gauge car?
I know it can vary, but what's the basic range in width?

When I start on rolling stock, I want most all my cars the same, so to speak.
(Know what I mean, Vern?)

Thanks,
