A relatively crappy 4-4-0 tender locomotive I made. I didn't base it off of any particular designs, although I feel that the cab is too high above the wheels, and that the tender is slightly messed up.

(Ghost brick in the bottom left)

The stuff in the background is more of my work. Rate out of ten.

I remember you building locomotives.
Guess your motivation is all Loco loco. ;P

Very nice 10/10. You could still improve though (not to be offensive). Maybe a stool for the driver/conductor/whatever in the cab, one of those big lights at the front? Also, the inside of the cab has a very boxy feel to it.

I would, but I hate the moving ground map. It's ugly as hell.

I tiried a light, didn't work so well. I thought a stool wouldn't make sense, since real steam locomotive interiors are pretty cluttered. I didn't know how to make the extra pipes and equipment look nice, which is why the cab is mostly bare.

Thanks. Unfortunately, those ones were narrow gauge. How's your F1 racer?

What F1 Race-
Oh that one.

Dunno, ask him.

Bump.
Feedback wanted.

Attempted second type:

lordician · January 28, 2011, 06:05:49 PM

Is it me or is there almost no difference to see? :C

However, you know that i am not that "Loco loco". ;P

Pliny · January 28, 2011, 06:42:40 PM

The main difference in the second is that it is much shorter in height- it has wheel-coverings instead of having the wheels completely exposed. The tender is also slightly different. I wanted feedback on whether or not the second was a supposedly successful as the first.
