Do the camera right & up vectors match the image aspect ratio (16:9)?
If I force-view the image at the camera default ratio, which is 4:3, the
boiler cross section looks circular.
If your camera block lacks these two vectors, you can fix the distortion
by adding
right 16/9 * x
to your camera block.

This is highly embarrassing. Povray 3.8 sets the aspect ratio depending on the
image format. So I didn't set the right vector in the camera.
The #version in my pov-file was set to 3.7 however, and then the aspect ratio is
1.33.
There are some hawk-eyed people out there. Thanks everybody.
BTW as excuse for myself: As long as there are no circles in your object, you
hardly notice! Poor excuse, I know, but better than nothing.
Cheers
Ton.

You can leave all problems behind forever by using:
right x*image_width/image_height
in your camera block. That way your aspect ratio is always correct.

I've continued with the Rocket, and managed some perfect round wheels!
Now onto the cylinders and pistons.
Cheers

Great work!
I love that kind of modelmaking.

Is it just me? I believe that these early innovations (including also
the Eifel Tower) have much more artistic/aesthetic appeal than, lets
say... a Saturn 5 rocket! I know that modern design can be aesthetically
attractive too once in a while, but it has not that same "glow" as those
19th century products.

I don't think it's just you. Compare Amsterdam Centraal Station with for
instance Eindhoven, or other modern railway stations.
A very fine example of Victorian design is this sewage pumping station in
England:
http://www.annandave.org/Abby%20Mills.htm
Its main purpose is (was) pumping London sewage into the Thames. It looks like a
castle, and inside.....
Cheers
Ton.

I fully agree. So many examples could be mentioned, e.g.: The railway
station of Haarlem (the first in NL if I remember correctly), the
ancient Halles of Paris (replaced by that monstrous Centre Pompidou)...

Haha, were you around in Haarlem in 1839, that you remember that station?
Here is an update on my Rocket-model. The only thing left are the pistons and
connecting rods, and then some pipes left, and then I can have a look at the
tender.
Cheers
Ton.
