Generic 18" Ore car |
Last updated: 02.05.2006 11:10 |
Update for today is that I haven't had much time to work on my little ore
car. Yesterday we was out on a farewell party for one of Tore's work colleagues
and came home quite late in the evening to a very wet office!
We had gotten some bad weather, strong wind and rain - and window in
office had been open, resulting in one very wet printer and lot's of wet
paper... It was water all over the floor around my chair, but thankfully/luckily
all the books/maps I have around me here for my projects had escaped as
the water had come in another direction then where they where!
So, I never got around to do much work - started a paintjob that I've
continued a little today - but need to redo some of the wheels as
texturing them proved very hard.
But, I've been inside Trainz just to admire my own work - and here's a
couple of shots from that trip. Looks quite good I think, except inside
the mines, there the cars/engines are way to light compared to the darkness
it should be in there - but making the textures darker would make the
cars/engine looking strange outside of the mine so I think I'm in trouble
here...
Anyway, here's the picture's of today: |

 Inside mine, passing through a switch/jct - looks fine I think. |

I've started yet another project - this time a Cripple Creek
related one! :-) And, it's about rail related stuff too - okay, also mine
related...
As title says, it's a generic 18 inch ore car that was used in the
mines to get ore out to either the ore bins or the dump. Picture of the
real version can be seen on the left side here. Again it's a work in progress - started it actually just before bedtime
last night but continued with it during some of the day today and guess I
will do some more work on it during this weekend. Need to add some more stuff to this ore car, but the basic model is
here as the pictures below shows. Sorry about the pink color - just needed
a base color to export it into Trainz, and pink was available... :-) Some problems have come to my mind, this car is mostly meant to be
handpushed as there's now way to attached it to other cars - but I will
put in some bars you could hook chains too so it can be towed by my "little
trammer" after I rebuild that a little to add support for my ore
car to be towed... Enough words, get to the pictures, hmm, wonder who said that... Oh well, it is right, I'm out of words so I can as well just add the pictures... :-) |
