Are you recommending I officially divide up the latter task in the first post?

That could be helpful, sure

How precisely should it be divided?
RMS Gigantic:
A bump as I briefly explain how it got to be where I made this request topic public:
The person who was claimed to have be the JVS modeler in the FAQ for the project ended up, as far as I am aware, unable to model, so we had to find someone else.
I PMed Phydeoux, who agreed to do it if given the specifics of the request, saying that the more specific the details are, the better. It took me more than a month to finally get the details together for what is now Request 2, before sending it to him.
For more than a month, my PMs went unanswered, as did all of my messages to him following my invitation for him to become a Steam friend. After several days of trying to contact him about the request, I discovered an instance of him being on Badspot's Block Party. Upon joining, all he said was "No" and then "afk."
So, here I am trying to put forth a request to the Blockland modding community as a whole....
Demian:
Does the diameter for the wheels include the bits poking out too? Or just the round part without the handles? Do you want the text? Thickness? Smooth shading?
Edit: Assuming all of above. 1718 triangles. Which is about twice as much as I would be comfortable with. By the way I like your style. Very specific and formal.
As for the telegraphs. 2 studs wide, 2 studs deep and 4.8 plates tall does not compute.

The wheel is beautiful! The diameter does indeed refer to the handles. If you don't like including the lettering, just including a (slightly elevated, if you like) yellow band around the wheel (maybe making the text a texture on it).
For the telegraph, give it a diameter of 2 studs, with its height mattering less. The depth, in my mind, would include the handles, but I have no specific measurement on it.
As for the depth of the telegraphs and the thickness of the wheel, I unfortunately don't have specific measurements that I can find, so my advice would be to approximate them as best you can using the following image:

If the above is hard to make out, or you are indecisive on color, here's a colorized version, if it helps.:

Here's a replica of the wheel if the you still can't find a thickness for the wheel (ignore the telegraph to the right; it doesn't seem to be accurately proportioned):

And yes, I pride myself on being very brown townytic and precise wherever possible.
