Russian 130-ton 1-5-1 Freight Steam Engine "Felix Dzerzhinskiy",
Russia's pride of the 1930s with 60in. driving wheels.
Again 100% Xtreme (3.2.4), took me ~ 20 hrs. full of pleasure.

Nice job Oliver!

In the states the wheel arangement would be a 2-10-2. Is that a combination steam and sand dome? Usually, there would be 2 on state side locomotives.

Another masterpiece Oliver.

Great detail Oliver. I love the mechanical look of steam locomotives. You have done a great job on this one. I also like the way you placed the grass around the tracks.

Suberb Oliver.

How about something that is not head on view or side view?

I think you are ready to rotate.

Thanks again for your kind comments.

Here's the brother of Felix, the 1-4-2 (2-8-4 for you, John) I(osif) S(talin)-20, under winter conditions (fractal plasma).
The usual two domes are in fact combinated here, John.

And it's indeed time for three-quarter views, Gary, but imagine doing one on such a loco.
I think that would be a task for dedicated 3D programs (3DsMax, Maya, Blender, whatever) which I haven't mastered yet.

Oliver,

Thanks... You could always find someone with a model and use it to pose a snapshot.

I have found that a meter length of balasted track set outside with the model works for a pretty realistic shot to draw from. The model for my K4 was infact an HO scale model.

Very nice Oliver. I love that big iron stuff.
