I can't do tubing in Stud.io to save my own life... so that's why the handrails mostly aren't there. Also, the frame is rigid, just like the real thing - I understand this would stop it from going through all but the largest radius curves. I did originally design it to have both wheelsets flex and swivel, and I could go back to that, but I decided details were more important to me than running it on r40 curves. And, finally, not sure if I am going to do a tender or not - I was really just doing this to keep my mind off surgeries.

EDIT adding renders

Not bad.

Quite tricky to get that shape 100% with LEGO.

Phew - when I saw your initial post, I thought - this could be another fantastic "monster" - but it was hard to tell from the lighting on the renders. Now that you have the other renders attached: Phenomenal! This is another absolutely cool rendition of one of these Wonderful Machines of True Thermodynamics (I call them WMTTs in class ... don't even think about it, it is the 2nd semester, these folks are always in for a really uncool joke, so they later can brag about that totally weird guy in the front )

Is there any reason - other than not having time or not wanting to go through the pain - of not doing the tender? If not, please do the tender ...

Also, I would put her on rails in the renders, at least in one picture - this is my very personal thing though: Without the rails, the blind drivers always seem t be a bit up in the air, and it doesn't really match the appearance and self-confidence of a WMTT

Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful locomotive!

Best,
Thorsten

That's really great work. With 5 posts you are at least new in these parts, have you been a train builder for a while or are you just a natural?

He has a particular posting style between those 3 accounts only creating each new one after blasting the whole hobby and getting banned then coming back 6-12 months later. He also has been posting on reddit under the u/LordsofMedieval name with the same posting style and now he is here again with the same username. The only difference is this newest post uses Studio instead of LDD and BlueRender.

@supertruper1988 ohhhhh…

Maybe this time he’s toned down the angst?

Did I say that the last time…?
