Hi Everybody!
Jeroen de Haan has once again worked wonders! Given only an LDRAW file, he put
together a (if I may be so bold) gorgeous poster of a Hudson 4-6-4 Steam
Engine. He uploaded three different wallpaper sizes, in addition to the pdf
file and jpeg files.
You can check it out on his website at:
http://www.digitalbricks.nl/
Images of the real model can be seen at:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=22292
Many thanks to Joreon, who literally conceived of the layout overnight. I can
definitely attest to his hard work, and couldn't be more pleased with the
results. Thanks, Jeroen!
Also, thanks to Kevin Clague, whose LSynth program
(http://www.users.qwest.net/~kclague/) worked miracles in producing the curved
hoses and rubber band pieces, to Joe Comeau for his feedback and endless
patience in putting up with continuous updates of the whole project, and to
the many others who offered suggestions and answers to my barrage of questions
in the .cad groups.
Enjoy!
Shaun

Beautiful Shaun!
It must be said again. Your Hudson is a really great model. This poster must
be printed out as large as possible (on my A4-printer).
It must have been a tremendous job to model it in Ldraw with all the curved
flexible parts. Is there a chance that you will share the dat-file with us?

Thanks Mattias!
The curves and flexible parts were definitely the challenge! For some of them
(the cowcatcher and some of the side tubes) I simply used the flexible hose
segments in LDRAW to simulate flex-tubing. For the rest (all of the curved
hosing on the chassis) I used Kevin Clague's LSynth program.
I don't think there will be any problem with posting an LDRAW file. The one
cocnern is that after using LSynth, the file is a little over 7 MB in size
(prior, it's about 100 KB). In general, this makes it a little unweidly to
work with ...
In the meantime, I at least uploaded images of all of the different submodels
that went into the engine (including the chassis before and after LSynth).
Check them out (after moderation) at:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=31910
Thanks again,
Shaun

Shaun,
I would be glad to see even the small (without the LSynth parts) LDRAW file.
This is really a beautiful model, and I think I'd learn a lot peeking into
the LDRAW.

Shaun, I've said it before, I'll say it again: that
is one of the neatest MOCs I've ever seen. And it now
graces my XP desktop, something I've never done with a
MOC before. (So *this* is why you needed to convert
that file!)
Jeroen, je heeft iets moois gemaakt! Je daad wel goed.
Je webpagina ziet ook heerlijk er uit. Ik heb hem niet
voor gezien maar ik bezoek hem vaak in de toekomst.
all best (en vr. groeten!)

Hiya Lynsay,
Thanks for the nice comments! Yup, this was what my file conversion question
was for. THe line drawing schematic of the Hudson was in .dxf and .dwg (and
even .dwx) formats, and I was trying to make them into JPEGs or the like.

I second that ! (?)

I will probably just take it to a Kinko's or similar print shop. I know they
can print large poster size prints for relatively little cost. Can anyone
suggest any advice for Andreas in Germany?

Advice? How about:
"Be real nice to Jake, say 'please', and maybe he will send you one..."

Thanks Jake!
Actually, that's how this project got started. I looked around the LEGO room,
and realized that I needed some more LEGO-type decor. Although it looked to be
considerably more effort than simply going out and buying a poster of Britney
Spears, I started working on this, instead.
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks,
Shaun

Are you saying there's a plastic connection?

Shaun,
Beautiful work! Incredible! I loved the model, and this presentation
of it is just wonderful, well worthy of a wall poster. Keep up the good
work, and may you and Jeroen collaborate for a long time in the future!
Peace and Long Life,
Tony Alexander

This CAD version is beautiful.

I can't say enough about how awesome it is to enjoy the cooperative nature
of the discussion groups here. The sharing of ideas and knowledge really
elevates us all.

I agree - Jeroen really produces jaw-dropping work. It was an honor and
privelage to be able to collaborate with him.

It really is an amazing little program. Actually, Kevin just recently produced
the next version of the program, which includes several additional component
pieces, such as rubber bands and electric cable (I used his fiber optic cable
pieces colored black to represent rubber bands).

I couldn't agree more ... I had help on translating files between formats,
locating unofficial LDRAW pieces, making curved elements like hoses, rubber
bands (and even nets!). Not to mention encouragement from others, including
yourself, James. All of which served to advance this project, and hopefully
other peoples' as well.
Thanks for the kind comments.

Hi all,
First I'd like to thank everyone for the kind words. But I also would like
to say that the poster was done with as much input from Shaun as from
myself. He provided ideas, pictures and technical drawings and of course a
very fine model.
The PDF of the poster has been downloaded 23 times these last 2 day. I don't
know about the JPEG 'cos my server doesn't count them :-(
Shaun wondered why I did all this, but I like making these kind of posters.
So if you you have a nice model in LDraw (or have some good pictures of it)
I would be happy to have a look at it.

If you want to count, I downloaded a jpg :) Actually, it looked so good
that I decided to render more of my models. I stopped after noticing
that they didn't look nearly as good.
Both the model, and the poster of the model are fabulous.

Roger that. I didn't mention it but it (and the James Mathis poster) are up
on the .trains front page now.

This rendering is amazing and now is my desktop background image. The folks
at the office are always amazed when they see it and I tell them of its
origin.

Hi all,
For those who can't get enough of Shaun's beautiful Hudson engine; I have
ooked up an other poster. It is somewhat more simpler but shows off more
detail of this fine model.
You can check it out on my website at:

Images of the real model can be seen at:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=22292

Hi,
I am no train person but this is some amazing stuff!
Beautiful renderings from Jeroen and supurb model and photo's.
And ofcourse, being an LDraw person, I would like to see (have) the LDraw
file of the Hudson. Is this possible?
Thanks!
