I had a look at the Lohmullers website once again, and noticed their multiple
view pov-file.
I adapted it for a nice view of my Edelweiss.
Where would Povland be without the Lohmullers?

Cheers
Ton.

Absolutely! Thanks for that reminder. I do not visit that site often enough.

I have a question about that locomotive: how does it navigate curved tracks with
3-axle carriages?

The axles and wheels move laterally in the carriage (carriage == truck 
in America).

Still, the tracks take a beating on curves.

Also submitted for your enjoyment:

There's also a similar, somewhat counter-intuitive principle that takes place
with belt-driven devices, making it necessary for those wheels to be convex,
rather than concave like a pulley.

The interior of the second wagon is done, so time for an update.
One advantage of creating a computer generated image in stead of a physical
object is that multiple objects are easier. I remember from my Titanic days that
somebody was not really looking forward to building 200 deck chairs. In Povray
that's a lot easier.....

Cheers

Reminds me of the days when I travelled a lot by train through Europe: 
the lack of leg room, especially when travelling by night (low budget! 
so no TEE either)
