Thanks. I also remade the Prussian P4.2 / BR-36 recently

And an open-cabin articulated steam locomotive from the 1860's. Found a host of useful blueprints in Couche's 1868 book, with a many high quality scans available here - Index of /~bersano/francais-french/Couche

A photo of the locomotive can be found here (only 2 or 3 photos were ever made). what was fascinating about it is that it used a special valve gear that powered every wheel, even the back ones (not easy considering the engine was 'split' in the middle, made so to better handle curves). Here is a real photo - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...3%81V_TIVa.jpg

here's another illustration with some info in eng Robin Barnes - Railway Art and History. Steam Locomotive Art.

And a few renders, with and without a cabin (some apparently had cabins added to them):

Wow! Simply breathtaking. Your quality of work is absolutely amazing.

And here's a photo of an LDM-12, Romanian shunter from the 30's I believe. starting with a real photo and then the 3D model.

If I didn't know better I'd say they it's the same engine in a museum. Marvelous work!

A few renders with the LDM-12

These renderings represent a tremendous amount of time and attention, very well done, what application is being used?

Thanks. I built the models in Sketchup and finished / rendered them in 3DS Max.
