Update09
I don't think I have ever modeled this slow. Progress is tedious .. The reference images are crappy.. I am too precise... I just shouldnt try to bevel everything sigle little edge on exactly 45 degrees haha.. oh well!
Update took a while.. since it is the 13th wip image, and it was friday the 13th last week!! So you know I couldnt just post it then! lol..
Seriously.. its gonna be a while till i finish this part of the locomotive.. but at least it will be all functional and exact! haha.
TomiL:
Looking sweet. Intense detailing!
You must have a killer PC :P

$imon, this loccy is looking really nice.
If you are wanting to get into serious reference images, look into model railroad forums. I used to do model railroading as a very "part-time" hobby, and had a big stack of "Model Railroader" and "Railroad Model Craftsman" magazines. These magazines always had features with technical drawings of actual locomotives, rolling stock, etc., for anyone wishing to try and build a model from scratch. I would wager that you could get drawings from a railroad hobbyist if you posted in one of those forums. In fact, two magazines - "Model Railroader" and "Trains" have an active forum where people share their works, plans, etc. Try these: http://cs.trains.com/trccs/forums/default.aspx?groupid=8

$imon, I took the liberty of finding an answer about that locomotive for you at the forum I IMed you about... and got some feedback...

Some of the numbers and the word "TAKEN" look raised or sunken, are they modelled or bumped?
Either way that is some awesome modelling.
