This is the STL section (ITA scale N train forum). Something is present,

Having an interest in machining, CNC, and sheet metal work, I've watched a

model train makers, and they are all completely insane.  They have detailed
scale model drawings of _everything_, even if they have to deduce them from
measuring hundreds of old photographs.

That train is MUCH better than your original one.

That train model looks great! I like how the light is falling on the scene as
well.

Thanks for the info,
I have found some good scanned drawings, but the CAD files seem to come with a
price tag. I'll dig though those links.

Thanks, I'm liking the lighting as well. I added spotlight info inside the
strong upper area light to get a better cast shadow edge.

I love your workbench scenes.  I especially like the concrete blocks with the
stains on them.  That's close to what I'm trying to get with the Cogito in
prison scene, but with rocky blocks instead of concrete.

Thanks Chris. I love the texturing you've done on your prison scene....
especially the rusted metal. I need to spend some time developing
aged/distressed materials. I get lazy and use image maps. :)
