Very professional!
What tools, other than POV, did you use?
How long did you spend modeling and texturing it?
What about render stats?
BTW are you the same SJ who is into making Quake textures?

Thankya,
The trucks were built first in a span of about 2 weeks in my spare time,
give about 2 hours of that to finding a diagram of a truck.
They were to be used with an older model I had but the complexity of the
trucks stood out too much against the simplistic modelling of the car, so I
decided to make a detailed, good model.
99% modelled in Rhino3d, done over about 5 weeks time, whenever spare time
was available.. probably 20+ hours invested in modelling. Another 6 tracking
down useful web sites with diagrams and photos...
Outputed as several udo's and then combined in Moray where procedural
textures (mostly layered) were also built and applied (TONS of tweaking - 4
hours or more possibly)
I'm working on a 466mhz Celeron (poor me), It took close to 45 mins to
render I think. Radiosity - 200 count, .05 error bound, nearest count 12.
As for the textures and such, I'm pretty sure that's me (graphtallica's my
texture site)

I still have a few more peices to make I think, this will be an ambitious
project that will probably result in me needing to upgrade :-)

Now THAT's a hopper car! Throw some weeds around it and you're done.

Sorry about that,
I'm playing with colors a bit now, but it seems from this point anything I
do with it doesn't look as good as I had.

Very nice, reminds me that i planned to model a railway track some time
ago, but did not have the time to accomplish this until now.

Sort of like a pov-city? 'cept a pov-railroad where various folks
contribute?

I'm not sure what you mean, i just wanted to create a realistic looking
railroad with rails, planks (do you have a special name for those in
english?) and gravel.

They're called 'ties'.

Or "Sleepers", in Australia, where they were made out of Red Gum wood
before they switched to the newer concrete system.

Your connection failed because: My pony-tail hit the on/off switch on the
