Well, the new IRTC round is Oppisites. I've decided to do a railway-themed  
entry. I started modeling today and have made I think a good amount of  
progress for a single afternoon. This is also the first bit of serious  
POVing in a bit over a year. I've gotten a quite solid model of US railway  
track (notice the fine details, such as the spikes and joints between  
sections. I've also gotten a decent start on one of the locomotives for  
the scene, a circa 1941 Alco RS-1. I've put three of them in the scene to  
fill it in a bit, since there is no real scene at the moment, just a  
plane. Texturing for the most part is pretty basic right now, but I love  
the rust-over-black paint I cooked up for the railings on the engine. Any  
comments most welcome!

Here's an image of the real thing:
