Nicely done, Brandon. I used to own one of these in N scale, but recently sold it.

Keep on modelin'.

Cheers Bazza.

Thanks. Here is a shot of all of my projects I have been working on currently together. I still have quite a bit of work to do on all of them but there coming along. From Left to right. C&O 614, MILW 261, PM 1225, NKP 765 and NKP 759. I have also included the water cars for C&O 614, MILW 261 and NKP 765. I have also built the 765 tool car from scratch. The C&O 614 and PM 1225 still need to get there 3D cabs and I still have yet to build the water car for 1225 as well. the locomotives will be released separately as I plan on making packs of each locomotive. A MILW S3 Class 4-8-4 Pack that will include all 10 MILW S3 class 4-8-4s in various stages they looked like in regular service along with MILW 261 in Excursion service. A NKP Berk pack with over 10 Locomotives with various ways they were configured for the NKP along with NKP 765 and 759 in various excursion schemes. I also plan on doing PM 1225 and 1223 and possibly a few others as well for that pack. For the 614 I may just keep that one as is with no other locomotives. Another Berk I am working on is the C&O 2716 that is not pictured with these locomotives but I think would be a good add to the mix of berks. One more project I am currently working on is NKP 587. That is still in the early stages and still needs a lot of work. All models will have custom sounds, physics and 3D cabs. Now that its becoming cold and snow is going to be starting to set in I will be having more time to work on these projects. The NKP Berk and MILW S3 Packs are close to being done but not quite there yet. Happy Train simming and hope to post more photos and possibly video of my progress on the projects. I do have to add none of my projects would be possible if it wasnt for Mike Knott for starting the projects for me and being generous enough to send them over to me.

Brandon,

Thanks guys. Here is a little updated photo of PM 1225. I have now added the 3D cab onto it along with made a 1990, 1999, 2007, and 2009 versions of it. I may also make a version with no shade on the headlight. Here are a couple shots of the PM 1225 in the snow. Kind of fitting I think as its starting to get to that time of year again! the 1999 version and the 2009 versions are shown here. I personally like the 2009 version the best out of all the ways it has looked over the years. I plan on making the PM 1221, 1222, 1223 and 1225 for the PM pack

The textures look a bit light and muddy, but a fix for that and your 1225 is perfect.

Here it is you guys! The C&O 2716!! :) Brought her back to life in Open Rails. Sure has come a long ways from what I first started with. I also plan on making a pack of these as well.

Well folks I have yet again started another project. This time people may think Im beating a dead horse with this one because its been modeled so many times over the years but its the famous UP 844. Yes we have some good models of it out already but I figured with the new Sherman Hill Route I wanted a nice model to run with it. Not saying that Mike Knotts model or any other model is bad at all I just felt I could myself put more details into the model and make it the way I would like. I also plan on building the water tenders for the locomotive as well. With this model I am not trying to step on anyone's toes here I just felt like building it.
