To wrap this thread up, a pre-pandemic video of my NYC suburban tank engine. One of the few "real" engines I've modelled. One day I'll model this engine again, either in Blender, lego or Gmod again. Big mainline tank engines tickle my fancy

Venturing back to the pandemic with this one. I was testing and showing off my latest build at the time, a custom designed Cab Forward engine. The chuffing sounds weren't working right but everything else was finished.

This was a test of my Mogul's valve gear animation. Without getting too deep in the weeds of steam engine design, Most of this was discarded and redone with different props and geometry to be more realistic. This was just laying out the rods and wheels in their most basic form

The Climax hustling logs past the camera. Something was wrong with the code for the whistle and it was playing at a really low volume. When editing this for the showcase I had to boost the whistle in post in order for it to be heard over the music

Alright gents, place your bets! If this SWD varient actually got built for the 30th as intended, do you think it would've been faithful to the concept art colors? Or had Imperial Colors?

The US is genuinely entering an age where anyone who isn't far right is considered a terrorist by the far right. The fact that people seem to genuinely want a civil war over which side of the aisle you fall on is terrifying

The custom rods really complete the model for me, I'm so proud of how they turned out
