Got a little bored today so I thought I would do a little modifications to my ongoing project with MILW 261. Also been working on a 3Dcab for the 261. Let me know what you guys think? Here is a photo of the real thing decorated in lights.

Thanks here is a photo of the 3D cab I have been working on with the 261. I will actually be using this model from now on and then modifying it to all of the other models.

Hey Brandon did you need any help finishing 614 or 2101?

actually yes the 2101 I do need some help with for a 3D cab! I have the 261s figured out but I would like to put figures also in the cab to make it look more realistic. Same with 614 as well. 614 I think Im about done with modeling wise and 261 Im just finishing the final touches on before I release them.

Hi Brandon,

Nice work - is that a true OR 3D Cab ? I've seen the new OR feature discussed - I'm really anxious to see what someone can do with it on a steam locomotive... Mighty fine looking locomotive - sir...

Regards,
Scott

Here are a few more shots of the 261 and it brings out the detail I have put into the locomotive its self. Since I have been around it for many years and have worked on it year after year I know about every inch of that locomotive. All of the textures are done by HD Photographs that I have taken myself and the original model is done by Mike Knott with myself adding quite a bit of modifications and changes to the model. Sounds are also done by myself taken from the real locomotive its self. I hope to have some beta testers soon to see what they think and then put it out on Elvastower soon there after.

I have no clue on 3D cabs. Sorry bud.
