South Pacific Coast Caboose #47 was 8' wide and 30' 2.5" long (not including the platforms). It was built in 1882.
20 ton combination boxcar - 30' long; 7'6" wide. Built starting in 1891. SP design, built in Sac shops; modified Carter design.
10 ton Carter bros boxcar - 28' long; 7'8" wide. (built from 1877 to 1898)
Carter Bros NCNG flat car: 7'7" wide; 24' long (1893)

From that small sample; I'd say 7'6" - 8' was a common width.

Thank you very much, Curtis. Being the old logging fanatic I am, I can make some pretty nice old freelanced no named rolling stock.

Yee Haa!!! I discovered attachments points!!!

Look out now, heeeeeere I come. LOL
You are about to see some of the oldest, nastiest, dirtiest, old beat up rolling stock you ever saw. We're talkin' back woods mountain stuff in 36 NG.

WARNING: Poly count, phenomenal. I like detail.

He, he, he...

:lol:

Well, to get this thread back on 'track' as it once was, here's what may be the final version of, The Sheriff.

Anybody know what was used for heating? I can't find anything on it and I don't recall ever seeing a 'stack' stickin' out the top of one of these before.

Comments, suggestions, and criticisms are welcomed.

Need opinions on this one.
Which texture looks the best for my adobe dwellings?

Image

The darker red color or the cream color...

Thanks,

:D

The cream is correct. I've seen some buildings that look like adobe in a similar red, but they are actually eroded brick.
Cheers,

He he... Thanks, Ben.
Bingo! I think I'll use that red texture to make bricks with.

In my most humble opinion, the buildings were whatever the color of the ground was its built on. Some of them were a dark red/tuscan color since the Indians/Whoever built them as a thatched mud brick. Then smoothed them out some to cover the seams.

If there were two options of your adobe building, that would be justified as well.

That is a beautiful brick texture, Rick! I don't know if you've seen this, but this is a nice program that will make a brick wall or wood floor texture using individual brick or wood plank textures: http://www.3d-rekonstruktionen.de/BricksNTiles/

I've been 'building' my bricks and boards, brick by brick and board by board for quite some time now. At $45 I may still 'build' 'em by hand. :shock: LOL

Thanks, Curtis. I've downloaded the program and will definitely look into it. It may save me hours of tedious work in the future. :wink:

Here's the shot I used to get that brick texture;

The $45 is only for commercial use - I think your work falls under the non-commercial / free version :)

He he, are you using this app? It's great! Thanks for turning me on to this little jewel.
Oh, you forgot to mention that it does this seamlessly.
