Thanks for the comments! Yeah, Abe, I am planning on it, I'm still fussing with the texturing and I've tweaked the model itself a bit - I felt the coal tender looked too big so I shortened and lowered the top a bit. I was visualizing the animation and I think I might have to seriously tweak the linkage to get it to work in a way that looks good, so this might take a while, but I am having fun doing it. Thanks Ellis, I do like trains although I don't know much about them, I'm not sure what kind of loco this is but I'm learning as I go. I remember when I was stationed in Germany, I was a tank commander and we'd load up our tanks on flat cars to go to distant training areas and I noticed ours was an old steam locomotive that still had bullet patches over the boilers, so this brought a few memories back.
