Dec-08-01, 07:39 AM (EST) "E9/8 Teaser!" Ok! I couldn't help myself, it was just calling me telling me to work on it! yeah it is an evil model :p anyway here is a teaser shot, it is rather ugly right now but without the ugly place holder textures you wouldn't be able to see much! It has aways to go but once it is far enough along I will probably do like TA did with the F7 and release a beta of it... although my beta wont be that great but then at least people could start working on some skins and stuff for it. Enjoy....

Dec-08-01, 09:24 AM (EST) 3. "RE: E9/8 Teaser!" You know sorry the screenshot isn't better, the model is nicer looking then that but I don't really have a very good videocard to be able to take outstanding screenshots ): maybe if I can find someone maybe they will be able to give you a better pre-beta previewHere is a 3d rendering of the engine, in the game the model itself looks very nice... at least I think so but then again I am the creator of it so what I say may not be the best thing to go by, anyhow here is a 3d rendering of the locomotive so you can get a better idea of the under laying model itself.
In the final final release of the whole thing I hope to have a passenger view in the cab, among other things, I thought about creating a cab for it but you know I don't think I could do the MSTS side of things that good and TA has a pretty good cab that will work with it... I wouldn't be able to ship the cab with the model though so that is the bad part about it... as you can see it still needs details and in the beta not all those details will be there, but they would come in future releases. The beta would be to tide you over though :p I can't give a date on the beta when it might get out onto the streets, sorry. Enjoy.

I do not know if this will work or not but something I have thought about trying is using the phantograph raiselower button to make the front coupler go in and out, as I said I am not sure how well that may work, but if it could work then that would be great!

Dec-08-01, 08:23 PM (EST) 9. "RE: E9/8 Teaser!" This loco looks great. Just one small comment though. Is the lower headlight supposed to be smaller in diameter than the upper headlight? In the photos I've got, they appear about the same size. I may be wrong about this though. Also, is there any chance of making one with a single headlight?--Victorian Railfan Web Site:

Dec-08-01, 10:50 AM (EST) 6. "RE: E9/8 Teaser!" You're far too modest! I'm not from the U.S. and thus know the E's only from photos, but personally I really cannot say anything against your model. To paraphrase Michael Davies, who is currently working on several European locos, isn't it most important that your creation looks "just right" when you look at it? Gee, anyone is free to make a model true to the prototype even down to the millimeter, but be honest, even if you're off one inch or so, will anyone be able to tell when he sees your model on his screen? As far as I'm concerned, that E unit looks good enough, and that is what counts, isn't it?

Dec-10-01, 04:05 AM (EST) 10. "RE: E9/8 Teaser!" The model isn't all that bad at all! I'm pleased with it for the most part except a few places. It looks nice in the game to me also.A good model isn't much without good textures though, I am not much of a texture artist either learning along fine though! If you want to help out though I need the UP logo that is on the nose, I haven't been able to find it our something good enough to where I could trace it, guess I'm not looking hard enough huh? oh well.The A unit will be released first so you will get to play with it sooner! later on in another update I will release it with a B unit. The back windows are modeled in (although you can see anything threw them) so I guess that was kind of a mistake but oh well later I will release versions with only 2 (like on a nyc one I saw) of the back windows and a version with no back windows... (like BNs I think it was??? maybe I am thinking of a different locomotive)The lower headlight is suppose to be that small... well I will look around again to make sure I am right and if I'm not right then I'll correct it The hardcore fans of some locomotives will be able to tell if a rivit is 1/300000 of an inch off..... you know so it may look good to me but it will bother another person so much they will want to rip their hair off! Maybe not that far but they still wouldn't really like it.I'll have some updated screenshots a little later today.
