The weather has delayed planes, trains and cars, so dinner will be late. To kill the time, I created a generic wheel set to place under some of the BVE models. A comment in a post somewhere said that the the train models look like they are on bicycle wheels. I made the wheel set below to help this.Wheelset – image 1This is one of Uwe's excellent locomotives seen from low in the front.Wheelset – image 2Same loco with the wheel sets placed in approximatly the correct positions. Not a total fix, but not bad.Wheelset – image 3
The wheel sets in the zip below. Adjust the sizes and width for your needs.

I got round the problem by making the underframe visible from both sides, but it never occurred to me to craft a wheelset. Nice work!Wheelset – image 6

I'd recommend your technique. With a proper texture it looks ok and should be quite fast. A long row of wheelset objects kills fps quickly.
