A long day's work. Pure SDL job so far. Still a looooooooooooong way to
go though.
Comments so far, anyone?
(Anyone can guess the engine type already? Um, well, not bloody likely I
bet..)
Next thing on the agenda: Get the square-ish firebox fused with the
round boiler... I wonder how I ever gonna make /that/...

You have cone sections for the round boiler? Maybe tangence.inc will work. I
don't know.
Pure POV you say? Isosurfaces work; you can blob mathematical shapes together.
You could always cheat and use Blender's meta shapes. They fuse quickly and
you'll still be using free tools ;)

Aaah.... memories.... Those were the days! The noise, the smells... and the
soot on your face if you stayed too long at the open window :-) In my youth
I often travelled by train between Amsterdam and Paris. Electrical traction
till Brussels, then steam till Paris. That was the most interesting part of
course for a young kid :-)

Sounds like something worth having a look at. Never heard of it before
though - any idea where to find it? (Google's not my friend on this one.)

That would require me having a clear idea about the mathematical shape
for both the boiler and firebox in the first place :P
But it may indeed be the way to go.

If it was about using free tools, I'd go for Wings 3D. Blender? No,
thanks :P

Ah well, Google is. Found it after all.
Doesn't appear to do my firebox thing though.

When I was 12y old (in the 70's), I took one of the last french steam trains
every second weekend to come back home from school and way back (wasn't
Hogwarts BTW :-( )
The locomotive was a Pacific 231 (French notation) or 4-6-2.
Few years after they were replaced by diesel/electric locomotives.

He is not the only one :) The smell of them remains with me.
Also carriages without a connecting corridor or toilet. The phrase "Do you need
to go?" was said a lot to children.

Only about thirty to thirty five years ago steam locomotives were a common
sight and regular means of transport in East Germany. I rememember driving
in them when I was a kid.
Then, here in Germany, there still is at least one railroad with two
steamers still working - the "Harzquerbahn".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harzquerbahn
There is a webcam that is updated on every train's arrival. Sometimes you
see the steamer, sometimes its a plain train.

My earliest memories of such things would date to the late fifties. I
never saw anything other than a deisel loc.
