That's the driver seat, and two for company.
Cheers

It has been a while, but with Christmas and 2020 and a small holiday there was
not much time for Povray.
But the train is finished, now I have to put it somewhere, might be my next
project.
Thank you all for your patience.
Cheers
Ton

Well done sir!
Just one question: The "joint" (what's its name?) between the two first
wagons seems to be twice the size of the other ones. On purpose? Or just
a matter of perspective?

Thanks Thomas, they're called "inter wagon canvas". It's rubber, probably to
streamline the train. The first one, from the motorwagon, is 8.5 wide, the other
two are 4.5. It's a bit difficult to get a good complete overview, so
perspective is playing up a bit.
Cheers
Ton.

Streamlining is a factor, but it's mostly to allow the passage from one
wagon to another without being buffeted by the wind. A question of
comfort and convenience for the passengers.

"proper" modelling again, superb. perspective? just treat us to an animation
of it going past the camera! :-)

What about putting the train in its genuine geographic environment? I'm
currently re-coding Melody's smooth mesh generator to make it run at an
acceptable speed (90 minutes rather than 200 days for 3601 by 3601
vertices...), after that, I will start generating 1 square degree Earth
surface slices (mesh2 terrain reliefs following Earth's curvature) from
ASTER GeoTIFFs, so you might want to place railway tracks on it... on
which line did the Edelweiss run?
Let's do POVEarth!
See you in Khyberspace (the Afghan section of POVEarth)!

Hi Yadgar, interesting plan. I have at the moment something completely different
for my train in my mind.
Is your mesh2 detailed enough for this close?
Netherlands shouldn't be too difficult (flat!), but France and Switzerland open
some possibilities.
Cheers
Ton.
