Show me your BEST locomotive builds, genuinely just curious to see what yall got

[fringe pollen]

Alternatively kasyn i think does aw models

Its not that hard to just work with the current ones tho

[steady sierra]

I think i can get it there in h0 scale

[fringe pollen]

You sure it wont jump out of the tracks

[steady sierra]

It shouldn't
The vectron on max speed didn't flip so it should be fine

[fringe pollen]

Interesting

I wanna get into model trains but they're so expensive and i dont have an income yet

[livid hinge]

🚩

[fringe pollen]

What about that is a red flag?

[livid hinge]

dont do it, man.

it will become your life.

[steady sierra]

I don't see a problem with that

[fringe pollen]

Im literally already considering a career as train driver once i finish school

I think its on brand

[livid hinge]

I dare you to build a real life, fully working locomotive to scale

[steady sierra]

I'm literally considering it too, but instead because i hate my current job

[fringe pollen]

I guess im giving my cv to siemens then

Siemens builds real life working locomotives to scale

[livid hinge]

look! A wild 2-4-2 Columbian Type appeared!

[steady sierra]

I mean
I could join the club currently restoring the Albatros steam locomotive to working order

[livid hinge]

SHOW ME

[fringe pollen]

Well technically youre not building it youre just restoring it

[steady sierra]

Loco in question

[livid hinge]

Wow!

[steady sierra]

Ah it is in mostly working order but currently found some major faults on the wheels during maintenance so it's inoperable

[maiden bridge]

ALBATROS MENTIONED

[steady sierra]

Yea absolute beauty
Only 3 of these still exist
One is inoperable, in a museum in czechia, other one is total scrap
And only this one is in working condition, although not at the moment

[steady sierra]

This guy knows peak

[maiden bridge]

i've got a poster of that shit on my closet

well a märklin model but whatever

[steady sierra]

Well guess what i have

[livid hinge]

[steady sierra]

Well i gotta flex a bit

[maiden bridge]

Peak

[livid hinge]

peak

[sleek socket]

@humble hawk was bullet bill longer?

[humble hawk]

I cannot remember… I think like 57 or 58 blocks, but I am going to be making a larger loco

[silver cloak]

well we should hope that it can get back to working condition soon

[errant lily]

Yes

We don’t like too big trains

[fringe pollen]

I think trains of all sizes are great and we shouldn't discriminate against trains regardless of their size

[errant lily]

And we hate american engines

[fringe pollen]

oh yeah thats true

dont discriminate against it cause its big

do it because tis american

[steady sierra]

Yea especially before the annual "train festival" that they do in the summer

[frosty badger]

this is where my pan side shows

cuz equally, every kind of engine is such a joy to meDSHAJKASD 😭

[errant lily]

Except americans

[frosty badger]

EVERY kind of engine...

As much as I adore victorian types, or english types, etc.
stuff like the hudsons like these will never not appeal to me

[steady sierra]

They actually did already reach their donations goal for the necessary wheel repair and even the extra goal for new thermal isolation
So it should be fine soon

As fast as it goes

By default ofc
Not gonna tweak the programming

[fringe pollen]

very cool

[errant lily]

you really need MORE practice

[sleek socket]

Add more variation in the boilers and also use more than one type of block if U wanna improve :3

[livid hinge]

thats an old one

My umpteenth attempt. The smokebox was a PITA to do in Blockbench.

[errant lily]

required trainyard season 3 modpack

[late mica]

changing CVs isn't that hard, probably worth giving it a try

[steady sierra]

Just checked and the top speed cv is already at 252 out of 255 so it won't change much if i did anyway

[late mica]

oh lol

[late mica]

Well it is a loco I built, just not Minecraft

[grizzled bear]

beeg tender

[snow patrol]

damn what shaders

look nice

[green iron]

Real life shader

[errant lily]

LNER peppercorn class A1 (tornado)

the running board is ugly cuz idk what to do with it

[snow patrol]

why bogey flipped lmao

[errant lily]

I flipped it cuz when disassemble it was like that

A bug I guess

[snow patrol]

makes sense

[gentle relic]

Just build your locos facing north and it won't happen

[ashen ravine]

Yeah quite a few mods blocks are directional

[stable merlin]

or west

[ashen ravine]

If you use any i would recommend adding a sign inside saying something like
"Only disassemble the train with this cab facing {direction}"

[gentle relic]

I prefer North, it just feels nice having stuff vertical on the minimap

Lol

[stable merlin]

west makes Chipped blocks go straight

[ashen ravine]

ive somehow avoided these issues with you need a specific direction

Ive only ever had it where you have to disassemble the train facing the same way as assembley

[bleak forge]

Zero Series

[livid hinge]

how long is that engine?

[snow patrol]

it seems like 24 blocks

[bleak forge]

25 blocks. Each car is 25 meters in length

[green iron]

Nice shinkasen

[late mica]

Had my model one out today, funnily enough I was wrong, only today did I also find photos of real R classes on the Overland

[fluid atlas]

i love the block palette u used for this build

[gusty skiff]

can i get shader name?

[fossil sapphire]

what game is this?

[late mica]

was mainly brass and zinc and then covered the outside with copycats

[late mica]

grass touching

[gusty skiff]

:0

[late mica]

Then there's a preset called brass touching

[fossil sapphire]

btw what game is this

[late mica]

don't know, PC broke

[fossil sapphire]

same

[late mica]

Really caused my PC to lag

[gusty skiff]

looks like train sim world or smth

[fringe pollen]

this is pre gay snr

[lunar mesa]

it isn’t

[fringe pollen]

It is

The build itself is

I imported the schematic into post gay snr and couldn't be assed to change the colors

[lunar mesa]

oh i see so youre what they call an idiot

[fringe pollen]

No im just lazy

Theres a difference

[sleek socket]

[tepid mason]

Rate my big boy

Tender is loading

Cause I had only like 3 hours of time

[limber stone]

How did you do the numbers on the tender?

[silver cloak]

aw probably

[errant lily]

broad gauge 💔

[tepid mason]

yes❤️

[errant lily]

make standard gauge

cuz bigboy is standard

[tepid mason]

i know right

[tepid mason]

the first two were broad

these are the standard

[tepid mason]

👍

[tepid mason]

made them

[errant lily]

meh

[tepid mason]

not so good in standard so

[errant lily]

I mean I saw one made a very good standard big boy

yours just lacking details

[tepid mason]

oh

[errant lily]

let me find

from Velten not me

[tepid mason]

yeah

[upper flower]

https://tenor.com/view/karga-gif-926879162419293027

[tepid mason]

the one i made was rushed and cause i did it cause i was bored of broad gauge and wanted to try something new so

[errant lily]

okay now no rush

put tons of details

:D

[tepid mason]

okay 😄

i make stuff like these and tanks too,so i want to transport them using trains

[tepid mason]

i make stuuf like these too

these are the old ones

[tepid mason]

ill make new ones

[boreal dragon]

[keen owl]

i know damn well what tutorial u watched buddy…

[errant lily]

You guys have yo watch tutorial to build?

[upper flower]

don’t dump on people for learning or wanting to learn

[glad python]

everyone starts somwhere

[glad python]

GE Steeplecab

[jaunty rapids]

Ladies and gentlemen, this perhaps may not be the best, but I’m proud of this creature

Now give a warm welcome to…

She’s so low maintenance it only takes one man to operate her

[foggy pivot]

is that SNCF Rio's in the back?

[keen owl]

i dont but i saw a vid with the same loco in it

[keen owl]

i mean yeah but iunno i started with no tutorials on how to make trains only the basics like usin rails and stations n stuff

my first builds were lets just say… far from perfect

[snow patrol]

Madenplay?

[keen owl]

but then you kinda start improving on your own

[keen owl]

maybe i dun remember

[keen owl]

(i know these still look chopped but i mean at least better than the previous ones)

[austere thunder]

no i don't think maden play showcased/tutorialified this train

[keen owl]

dude i told you i dont remember who did ok?

[austere thunder]

yea i know and i am just saying my opinion on it bro

[keen owl]

it was a step by step tutorial not a showcase

well there was a showcase of it too

hol on ima find it

…

bro.

it was madenplay.

hol on my wifi is trash ima send a screen

[austere thunder]

i Cannoot find the vid on it though

Closest one i can find though is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSCBytFtdAg

[keen owl]

it will take a few mins to load…

no not that

this one

looks very similar down to the color scheme

[austere thunder]

that does look similar actually

Aha found the vid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZTSsdCf71g

but i'd say they did a more custom take on the design a bit

but the matches up to even the smort chute at the back even

[glad python]

Maybe subconciously but it's mostly freelance

[tepid mason]

SD90MAC-H2

[errant lily]

The wheels are tiny…

[tepid mason]

yeah

[errant lily]

Make them bigger

Also broad gauge 1.5 sized too ._.

[tepid mason]

yeah

i like broad

[errant lily]

I like standard

Cuz making train in standard is harder than broad

[tepid mason]

SNR devss!,more wheels please

[errant lily]

You can download extended bogey

[tepid mason]

yeah,but filling in more space is hard with details

[errant lily]

Or blocks and bogies if create 6

[tepid mason]

ik,but for wide

[errant lily]

Yeah they don’t really have big wheels

Cuz theh only focus on the standard

[tepid mason]

like trailing,freight and all the standard wheels for wide

[tepid mason]

yea

they did plan and make the models for wide and narrow gauge with dirvers like BnB

[errant lily]

Small wheels make the train looks weird

[tepid mason]

ye

[errant lily]

This one is armourer’s workshop

[tepid mason]

if they add like the heavyweight for wide,it would be good

[errant lily]

It’s a custom block

They don’t work tho

You can go to bnb setver and suggest it

[tepid mason]

they did say but now they are shelved

[errant lily]

Maybe just maybe weido will make them

[tepid mason]

🙁

weido said wide and narrow are SNR territory and such will not be added to BnB

i heard somewhere that they tried to connect with SNR but SNR refused or im js imaging things

[fringe pollen]

Build proper structure around the bogeys

[tepid mason]

yeah

[tepid mason]

i should do that

[stable merlin]

Look, I Made a Train. I made everything myself, i totaly did not leave Teacup uncredited to make my Building skills seem better.

[errant lily]

I have an idea

Try the hull block

To hide the wheels

Hull blocks in copycat half layer or slab

[tepid mason]

oh

[errant lily]

It looks round

[tepid mason]

yea

[errant lily]

Then ur train will be 10/10

[tepid mason]

like the structure fully?

now im convinced that new bogies will never drop an learnig to cope with blocks around bogies

[tepid mason]

@errant lily

[foggy pivot]

DSB?

[stable merlin]

Italian Railways

[foggy pivot]

Same train anywsys

[stable merlin]

Atleast i dont know any Italian WW2 Era Diesels that ended up in Denmark

[foggy pivot]

They didn't. DSB just bought the same

[stable merlin]

can you show a pic

[foggy pivot]

There has been quite a few in Denmark. DSB had 3 types first 2 by Breuer, 3rd type by Pedershåb in Denmark.

• First type came without a roof, and 5 were built by Breuer. 1928 and 1929
• Second type was the same model as FS. DSB bought 15 of this type. Made by breuer from 1930-31.
• Third type was built by Pedershåb and had an outwards dent at the middle window. Generally a bit larger. 7 built by Pedershåb from 1931-32.

Two different private railways also had a Breuer wardrobe each.

• FFJ got one with the cabin of wood however later made into metal and painted red. Built 1929
• HA also got one of the same type as FS and the second type DSB has. made in 1930.

[split escarp]

Breuer!

[void shadow]

i love how goofy this thing looks

[livid hinge]

microshunters galore

[split escarp]

Breuers are quite nifty little machines

If I ever find BRAWA’s O scale version for a good price, I’ll see about sticking a trolley pole on it for the Transit Pike

[glad python]

I wonder if you could retrofit one to work with knuckle stock eber

[errant lily]

Gud

[split escarp]

Seems certainly possible with some tinkering

The real question is how much reinforcement is needed for the frame

Based on the limited info I could eke out regarding pulling power alone, it could handle about 3-5 hi-cubes, but there’s definitely some additional variables that need factoring.

[rustic solstice]

that detail around the bogey is insane

[errant lily]

took me 10 mins to do it

[rustic solstice]

holy

i bow down to you

[errant lily]

💀

[vital ore]

lately did this, sm31 based

[karmic solstice]

My attempt at building an EMD GP7, an American road switcher locomotive.

I'm actively working on a B-unit and passenger variant that'll include a steam generator.

I opt for five block-wide trains just so I can detail them more.

WIP.

[soft trout]

is that the IR Jernbane world?

[glad python]

If you have trouble detailing at 3.5w the issue is a creativity issue

[karmic solstice]

No. It's a world I have in a paid server. An economy based one where players get rewarded with in-game currency for running trains from start to finish!

[soft trout]

nice

[jagged nacelle]

Speaking of SM31…

[foggy pivot]

How did you make the world checkered?

[jagged nacelle]

I used the Ponderflat option in the World settings

Idk tho which mod adds that option

[storm widget]

What mods are you all using or is it the snr mc server pack?

[vital ore]

yo, your looks better or like more bulkier, idk i think i dont have mods to make it look like that or sum

[vital ore]

i also want to know

[jagged nacelle]

I use a custom modpack made for a different server

I’ll send the list of the mods tho

[stable merlin]

[glad python]

try using any blocks other than concrete

[sleek socket]

Pretty

[livid hinge]

dreams n’ desires i think

[livid hinge]

suggested: flat locometal

[green iron]

Waw

[glad python]

Nope.

Should not jut have a single block texture

[livid hinge]

but both types

and mix in similar colors

[glad python]

No it would still look like dogwater

You need like an actual pallette

dont show Teacup this /j /inside joke

(he hates thomas hehe)

[stable merlin]

This looks like AvrgEdgyArtist Made it.

[open spear]

Oh yes I couldnt have done it without him

He gave me some of his textures

[stable merlin]

its clear that he made the textures

theyre only flat Locometal

[livid hinge]

what happened to "Oops All Locometal"

[fringe pollen]

the entire locomotive is round yet the wheels arent

crazy

[open spear]

maybe if i could find the round wheel pack

[glad python]

At what point do you just start modeling for IR

The fun is in not having custom parts

[open spear]

huh

what's IR

[gusty skiff]

Immersive Railroading

[open spear]

i seee

[open spear]

i still kinda agree

just thought i'd try something new

[lunar mesa]

one of the better looking thomas models i’ve seen but the bar is in hell so

[livid hinge]

we need more thomas

[lunar mesa]

yeah but like good thomas please

[sharp wave]

superb

[snow patrol]

What can be considered as good thomus

-# (curious)

[sharp wave]

tomers

[lunar mesa]

so generally the primary issue I see is that ppl arent properly texturing the thing
the other issue is that theyre not adhering to minecraft's artstyle very much whatsoever

[sharp wave]

he do be kinda shiney doh

[lunar mesa]

so with this one specifically
it's got too many angles. the splasher should reflect the wheel shape, in the sense that they should be octagonal.
the buffers should be square, the smokestack should reflect the smokestacks by teacup, the numbers likely should just use minecraft's fonts, or something more pixel-consistent as opposed to just the actual numbers from the real models

also the only texture used is the flat slashed locometal, which is just the laziest possible option

theres no variation or technique or anything

it's just flat color & the 1 texture I made

and thats it

id suggest at the VERY LEAST going and making use of the connected textures of locometal here

or making use of the various other textures locometal has to offer

its all boring and it doesnt look right

[snow patrol]

can this be considered as good thomas

[lunar mesa]

its like better idk

[snow patrol]

what do you think can be improved on this design

[open spear]

I guess it's all personal preference

but getting the connected textures to adhere to shape is quite difficult

and I definitely need a bit more experience in blockbench

this is my first time using it after all

[maiden bridge]

This is my current submission for my best loco

[lunar mesa]

that works

[maiden bridge]

is that a like "oh yeah that works as a best locomotive" or a question like "that works?"

Oops all AW🥀

[swift mist]

I had actually voiced not making the whole thing with aw. I recommended we try something like this (credit to avrgedgyartist) where the body is aw while buffers and screwlinks were snr

But he said that he already tried and it didnt work so 🤷‍♂️

[sharp wave]

oh no

[gusty skiff]

u should make this frfr

Damn wtf

That can’t be real

what the Big Boy meets Garratt?

?

what are you not happy with the A.W models?

Im not saying that. But it would make it easier for us to combine our previous freight and newer freight together

i'm gonna make new rolling stock

we've discussed this

plus the buffers now match heights

i fixed that

i dont got the time to do this shit doh

its double the triplex

l o ng

im so confused on the articulation points

im not sure if this is even possible

[weary aurora]

just have these bogeys swing out on their own

not attached to anything

and glue the rest of it like a normal garratt

[sharp wave]

it

uh

works

69 blocks long

nice

im questioning what i should name it

cause something of this magnitude needs a name stat

yeah im doing this later, i dont need to be doing this sleep deprived

[errant lily]

I'll try xD

[maiden bridge]

seeing as it's in a blue goose paint scheme, you should call it something similar

[vital ore]

, fuck i did it in like half an hour , in my imagination it looked better, its kinda of shit lol, but ye

no aw so kinda no details but ye

and color palete is wierd to match

Aw for wheels?

[tepid mason]

idk to use aw

[soft trout]

maybe use copycat slices for the pipes to make em a little bigger

[tepid mason]

thanks

any tips for textures?

[soft trout]

one thing i do is use multiple different dark blocks to break up textures & add weathering sometimes, my go-to's are coal, blackstone, sometimes mud, and black locometal typically

[tepid mason]

Thanks

[tepid mason]

what mods do u use for the bars

[soft trout]

macaw's stairs & balconies iirc

[tepid mason]

thanks so much

[sleek socket]

PEAM

[sleek socket]

GOD DAMN

[gusty skiff]

okay yeah thats mine now, thanks

[sharp wave]

anyone know the mod where those piston hoses are from?

[strange blade]

daves building extended, dont use it though

[sharp wave]

alright

thanks

[livid hinge]

DBE is bad looking

we are better

we are snr

[harsh pine]

AW all the way?

-# or do we suggest more building features to SnR

[livid hinge]

who care

[raw pebble]

im still using dave be ;-;

find it

[harsh pine]

Huh. Same timezone!

Also we share a few different other servers, wow

https://tenor.com/view/who-pinged-discord-meme-spongebob-patrick-gif-7557336623915148315

[soft trout]

Can also use schematicannons for that

[harsh pine]

Do they still keep attached though?

[soft trout]

Yea

[harsh pine]

cuz IDK what all are "attachable" on a train contraption, I know the Schematic Table isn't one of them last I checked...

[soft trout]

The cannon is attachable, it's what I use on most of my medium-large locomotives

[strange blade]

what even is the point of using em if you just cover them up anyway

[raw pebble]

there more

fine if you can't find it

[jaunty rapids]

Why’s this deala’

[harsh pine]

ah yes, a dual-cab steam loco

front-facing and standard cab

[bleak forge]

Daylight jumpscare

[harsh pine]

oh wow

[livid hinge]

how long engine???

[bleak forge]

Had to wing it with the tender: there wasn't a listed wheelbase for it.

[harsh pine]

small farm automation train using SnR narrow gauge

and by small, I mean small

enough to fit in 5 item vaults into that boxcar

[upper flower]

my hot take is that big n popular resource packs should also include assets for big n popular mods

eg create

[fluid atlas]

i think this goes here

[errant lily]

very nice loco

[sullen temple]

Wow nice

[tepid mason]

Too nice

[errant lily]

I like this

BR80 in green

[sleek socket]

ooo whats your "rule"?

[errant lily]

No steam if no good bogey

At least give me piston and rod

[sleek socket]

dam

i plan to build more tank engines

i just wanna see it

[gusty skiff]

o

moneyy >:D

[livid hinge]

no like THE SUN

[livid hinge]

I will also give you the sun if you can make it longer than mine

[sleek socket]

-# btw im talking about numanistics sun on snr server

[gusty skiff]

what am i gonna do with the sun

[livid hinge]

however i will not disclose the actual length

[gusty skiff]

bruh

yk i can just count

[livid hinge]

try

[sleek socket]

somewhere around 64 long

[gusty skiff]

tender is 19 blocks and loco is 39

soo 58 blocks

[sleek socket]

i was close enough XD

[gusty skiff]

lel

[gusty skiff]

was i right?

[livid hinge]

no

[sleek socket]

who was closer

[gusty skiff]

how long is it then

[livid hinge]

55

Damn it

[gusty skiff]

HAH

[livid hinge]

you’re just going to make the tender really unporportionally long

[gusty skiff]

idk

[livid hinge]

so ill tell you what

make the engine alone longer than my engine alone

and ill be smart this time

[sleek socket]

how long is your engine alone then

[gusty skiff]

how long is the engine alone

i suppose the tender has to be 19

[sleek socket]

buh

[gusty skiff]

okay valid

just know

[livid hinge]

it is. How

[gusty skiff]

i know how long ur damn tender is

[gusty skiff]

counting

[livid hinge]

PHOQUE

WHY

[gusty skiff]

YOU THINK I DONT KNOW HOW LONG A BLOCK IS?

[sharp wave]

A bumpy ride

[livid hinge]

cool

[harsh pine]

I actually made an engine like that in SnR narrow gauge for an automated farm(only had a boxcar though, no passenger car/caboose combo)

[tepid mason]

UP BIG BOY

UP CHALLENGER

[stable merlin]

Bro Just make it have two sets of 0-6-0s, and one set of 0-8-0 so you have a 6-6-6-8-6

[opal sinew]

Not Strictly a Locomotive but here's a HST Power Car that's one of my favourites

[open spear]

oh aura

[opal sinew]

I immediately now hate the train as cringe has been associated with it

[livid veldt]

No way you saw that thing too

Mine clocks in at 91 blocks from knuckle to knuckle

If its based on something real Im unaware of it, I just saw a reel on ig of some obscenely long model engine and had to make it

[livid veldt]

Yo thats the thing I was talking about

Who made that

I had nothing but my memory of a reel but I can use this img to actually finish this god forsaken thing

[livid veldt]

Where are the super detailed not round boilers from

[maiden bridge]

The front? Armorours Workshop

[sharp wave]

Theres a reference model, not real though

[harsh pine]

One of them is a passenger car freight locomotive hybrid, and another is a GP15-1 body on an SD40-2 frame.

[fossil sapphire]

-# ew AI

[open spear]

why do you need ai for a train

you chud

just like

come up with the idea yourself

[fringe pollen]

i made this without ai

[strange blade]

based

except for the wheels those are cringe

[sleek socket]

@limber whale

[fringe pollen]

Its hard to get other realistic modern locomotive wheels

[strange blade]

ok

they still look ass

[fringe pollen]

How else are you gonna get these wheels

[strange blade]

medium standard bogey

[fringe pollen]

Too small

[potent helm]

Nice use of the cannons

[livid hinge]

WOW

[soft trout]

Weren't the wheels made with ai or something? I've heard something like that but haven't followed along tbh

[livid hinge]

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1289342756/fullscreen/

move him with a and d

[fringe pollen]

I just want realistic locomotive wheels why is everything cool made by inherently evil people or not people

[errant lily]

Just ignore them

I once told then we’re different and then no one complain about my round ass wheels xD

[fringe pollen]

What

[errant lily]

Just tell them people have different taste of trains

[fringe pollen]

Idk theyre all metal and grease they propably dont taste good

[sleek socket]

😭

[errant lily]

💀

my English is not Englishing

[green iron]

Railjet😍

[stable merlin]

Do i have to make those wheels but just the texure without the Roundness

[silver cloak]

yes please

[stable merlin]

The Message of the Century

[stable merlin]

gimme texture 'n' reference then

[silver cloak]

i dont have the pack

[harsh pine]

though yeah, I challenge anyone to make a hybrid locomotive(or train car) without the usage of AI then. Even if it's for ideas. No AI.

And you can't use your schematics as well.

100% freestyle.

[silver cloak]

hybrid as in diesel/electric?

sure

[fringe pollen]

Do you mean just like a single unit or something?

[silver cloak]

hybrid diesel/electric traction locomotive

[fringe pollen]

I think he means hybrid as in combining a locomotive and train carriage with function but i could be wrong

[harsh pine]

huh, did you just stick pantographs on a diesel engine?

[fringe pollen]

Well like

Thats what hybrids kinda are

[harsh pine]

huh

[silver cloak]

no, i also made the back part larger and put some stuff in there to make the electricity suitable for the traction motors

[fringe pollen]

Bi mode vectron also has pantos and diesel motors

With a slightly higher middle roof

Im pretty sure some of our 1063 and 1064 are also hybrid capable but with batteries

[silver cloak]

i mean most modern diesels are diesel electrics anyways

the diesel motors inside drive a generator and then it just has electric traction motors

it really doesnt take that much to make it able to run on electric power from a catenary

[harsh pine]

ok... try making this then

grabbed from the internet

[fringe pollen]

2 1063s were outfitted with hydrogen power cells however they got modified back because there would not have been enough use cases to make it feasible

[silver cloak]

this is just a cab forward but the cab is streamlined

it is in no way actually related to a diesel engine

[fringe pollen]

The 1063 is an electric locomotive

It uses pantographs

Well a single pantograph

[harsh pine]

F7A diesel cab instead of a regular steam locomotive cab on a forwards-cab steam locomotive.

[silver cloak]

nice

[fringe pollen]

It was always made with catenary in mind

It was never anything else

Altho you cant really ever

See them

Because 99% of the work they do is shunting stuff on big cargo yards

[opal sinew]

ooh train

[ashen ravine]

How does ai even help you make a train

[weary aurora]

yeah im curious what you mean by hybrid

this is maybe the closest to what i think you're describing but it's really still just diesel-electric

it is also not difficult at all to free style without ai

[round valley]

:)

[spring forum]

Super proud of them

[livid hinge]

mmm cooper

copper

[spring forum]

Ooo a cab foward duplex?

[weary aurora]

ehhh

its a niagara converted to (my form of) diesel

[spring forum]

I see

[weary aurora]

i would have used the engine design with fluid hatches but i thought the boiler was fine

[loud laurel]

Haven't built a train in like forever

so skills got a bit rusty

[gentle pier]

hes a little nugget of uranium :)

[green iron]

Thanks

[sleek socket]

Waoh that looks amazing great use of the flywheel

[harsh pine]

ok so for the link-n-pin, the "linked" version goes on one side, and the "link-less" pin goes on the other side. I do however recommend a screwlink coupler for the rear instead as this appears to require a tender.

However, for the "link-n-pin", it's your call on which goes where for both versions... just make it consistent

[harsh pine]

what mods or resource packs do you use to make the wheels almost smooth?

I feel like everyone has been asking people like you how you get those smooth-like wheels

[errant lily]

World biggest secret :P

[harsh pine]

ok... what version of Minecraft do you have? 1.20.1 or 1.21.1?

[harsh pine]

are you srsly going to abandon my questions that quickly

[errant lily]

1.21.1 neo

[harsh pine]

ah ok

therefore I can narrow down my search for mods and resource packs >:)

[errant lily]

It’s mostly coming from my friend and he doesn’r share it publicly

[harsh pine]

oh

[errant lily]

Some people have the pack and they might share but I won’t

[tiny raft]

I made D199 and Class 40 from TTTE

[green iron]

Is this real

[tiny raft]

?

[fringe pollen]

No its fake

[fervent sentinel]

ED250

[snow patrol]

oh my god bro 💔

there is no way y'all need ai to come up with ideas

it can't be that difficult to search for trains in Google

[peak belfry]

how are ya'll doing windows that have like copper or some other kind of metal around them?

[peak belfry]

like these ones

[peak belfry]

or these

[gusty skiff]

chipped

[peak belfry]

Oh thanks

[spring forum]

North korean train?

[errant lily]

Albatros is the legend of German rail

Wdym by north korea

[spring forum]

My apologies I know its a common thing in North Korea to have a red star on the front

Oh wait wtf im mixing up my eastern trains 😭

[errant lily]

Soviet also have lmao

[spring forum]

Yeah ignore my dumbass

Regardless of my stupidity its a nice engine, I like the blue

[errant lily]

Blue!!!

[spring forum]

Blue

[silver cloak]

i thought it was czech

[errant lily]

It’s german tren

Confirmed

By raytrain

A german…

[stable merlin]

YOURE WRONG, ITS CZECH, IT WAS MADE BY HATTING SKODA WORKS. THEN RAY MUST BE WRONG IF YOU BELEVE ITS GERMAN!!

Where might have Ray Confrmed that its german

or you might have thought that if marklin made it, its german

[silver cloak]

also im pretty sure east germany used black and white number plates and no red star on the smokebox

[stable merlin]

im pretty sure there was only one german mountain, and it used powered coal, also it was originally french

[stable merlin]

i think no Neubauloks atleast had stars

[silver cloak]

i dont see any stars here

[stable merlin]

because theyre West German

[silver cloak]

ah

then where is the correlation?

[stable merlin]

idk, but this East German Neubaulok has no stars

[stable merlin]

the fact i thought only east german locos were neubauloks

Im Pretty sure no east german locos had stars

But Czech locos built after 1945 all had stars (i guess)

[maiden bridge]

well i admit, i was wrong then, i did not know its czech, oops

[errant lily]

I do not give a fuck and also fuck off lmao

Screaming like a kid doesn’t make you smarter

[strange blade]

theyre right though, what

that was strangely aggressive

[errant lily]

I don't like that dude lmao

he's all of himself

kid still doing homework and call himself engineer

he thinks he's the only one know how to build locos
