(...) Dear Tim, take this as not more than a first test run.... I did several runs so far in which I was playing around with anti alias (the POV-Ray manual tell NOT to use it, while I found it looked way better with AA-settings). I also tested (...) (18 years ago, 5-Sep-06, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Since you have 8 coupled wheels, some of the sets need to use blind drivers. The easiest solution therefore is to make all 4 sets use blind drivers, suspend them all off the rails by having the leading and trailing 4-wheel sets as the bogies, (...) (18 years ago, 5-Sep-06, to lugnet.trains)

Hi Erik, (...) Actually wasn't much improvement. It was too earthy and not washed out enough. Light yellow would be perfect but it has too limited a range of plates. (...) Do you think it would be worth sacrificing the horizontal lines for this? I (...) (18 years ago, 5-Sep-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

(...) Nice job Tim. The improvements I imagine : Colors : replace yellow by tan. The colors must be washed out. When I look the original picture, the first thing which comes to me is the vertical lines, resulting of the rust which flown. I will (...)

(...) That even more complicated than I what I did (URL) but it might just work. You will have to make the piston rods long enough to not drop out of the cylinders when thay are int he extended foward position. Tim BTW obviously I had a lot more (...) (18 years ago, 5-Sep-06, to lugnet.trains)

Ok I think I have something. Each cylinder is free to slide longitudinally on the frame. This movement is constrained by a vertical pin (or 1x1 round brick) on each side of the pilot truck. These pins engage a transverse groove (currently a pair of (...) (18 years ago, 5-Sep-06, to lugnet.trains)
