RE: Heisler

Because NO ONE have ansvered you'r question, I will.
No, no one seem to be interested, but if I had the necesairy stuff I could always give it a go. I think that Heislers are funny looking engines but perfect for their use and that it's a shame that nobody has begun building one. If someone did, we would the have all three types of geared engines, Shay, Heisler and Climax. Well that's MY opinion!Steam rules! Archived thread - Read only Previous Topic | Next Topic – image 2

>Shay, Heisler and Climax. Actually, there was one more. It was called a Williamette and it was extremely similar to the shay except for some difference in the pistons or something. and I think it rode lower to the rails. -hovertrain

Something like this you mean?

G&D #6 was a two truck but adding the rear tender is not that much more work.
Cab looks little funny but will improve when I get some more work done.
After that it would need eng-file, cab & sounds.<edit> This is my first project in gmax and will be available for repaints. Previous logging enignes released here in the file library are a two truck Climax and a four truck Shay, no Heislers before. Williamette is very similar to the Shay, built by a different company when the Shay patents went out.

RE: Heisler

That is almost exactly what I'm talking about ( The coloring and the checkered paint wasn't what I had in mind, but I've seen a model in progress look like that) -Hovertrain

RE: Heisler

>It does look really nice anyways. I agree! It sure does, and it'll be on the d/l list when it comes out About the Climax in the library, it's soo tiny and NOT suiting for american logging railroads. I think that there should be another one with more "American" style (big headlight, cowcatcher, bell and nice colors like green and gold.) I guess that'll come aswell
Can't wait until that Heisler will be done

RE: Heisler

Jon Davis, who did the Sumpter and Uintah 2-6-6-2's and other narrow gauge engines has done an Oregon Lumber Co. Climax, 3' gauge, although he hasn't uploaded it yet. I just finished the custom sounds and sent them off to him. Archived thread - Read only Previous Topic | Next Topic – image 10

RE: Heisler

Now we're talkin'! That's the stuff. Baloon stack, big one too But I had something else in mind, it would look like the 1855 General on the overbody but it would be a Climax!
I like engines with bright colors (maybe that's why I download so much SP stock, it's green )
BTW when is that baby gonna hit the library? It'll be interesting to try her out Steam rules! Archived thread - Read only Previous Topic | Next Topic – image 11

RE: Heisler

Funny coloring helps applying the textures during development and will then later be replaced by more accurate texturing.
I'm doing this from photos and some general dimensions I found for an Artful (that's a 55 tons standard two truck Heisler). It's not an exact replication of a specific engine since I don't have any drawings. Planning to provide some variation options; coal or oil fired, optional spark arrestor, two or three trucks.
