Another locomotive....next to dave's picture....seems to be a 2-10-0
decapod type. Hard to tell from such a small picture. Might be one of the former mid western roads (Frisco,IC, MP,
Katy, etc.)Yes I'm a train nut.

Not to get anyone's goat, but it is done for the shear joy of spinning a good yarn. And if we can yak about fleecing JVN out of a few good ideas at the same time, then it is worth ramming through the discussion before hoofing it out of here. At least, that is what I heard from Dan Merino...

What that picture tells me is that someone is wasting their time with sheep. The real money is in Alpacas.

Don't you have a game animation to work on, Dave, rather than figuring out the puniest way to reply to this thread?

[EricH]

He is working on it. It's rendering.

Which explains why he's acting like a programmer whose code is compiling...

Ahh! I completely understand! Being an animator myself, waiting for scenes to render brings back memories of time on CD.

Pretty Close.

I think the locomotive in the Background is a Frisco 4-8-4 of the 4500 series, number 4501. Bell, hand rails, and headlight match.

The foreground locomotive has to be one of the monster 4-8-8-4 "Big Boy"s of the Union Pacific, number 4018. You can tell by the coupler door and louvers in the nose.

If my locomotive sleuthing is correct, then this picture was taken at the Museum of the American Railroad in Dallas Texas.

Just a wild guess, I'm a narrow gauge train nut. Give me big mountains and small locomotives.

Well... Chris is also trying to push the train... Perhaps there is some sort of game element in which the teams will have to push?
