A dummy engine just for the light. Ain't it fun.


With OR you shouldn't, in theory, need to go to the extremes we had to with MSTS. OR is more flexible at this stage.

You can make the light a child of the leading bogie, in which case the light would mimic the turns of the bogie. However, whether the light beam would exhibit the same behaviour is a matter for experimentation.

Allen, the construction of a highly detailed complex locomotive in such a short time span, and of such quality, is deserving of the highest kudos.

Cheers Bazza

Thanks Captain

I think it's the rendering of OR that makes it look so good. It is in need of much fine tuning yet. I got in a big hurry putting her together to try out the new idea's. :sign_sorry:

I am however very happy with the way it functions in the simulator as to the articulations. And I'm still wondering how much junk can be attached to a bogie before a failure of some kind.
