Thank you zber2! Took awhile to make 
Thank you Ghostman!
Exceptional work. Check out the Duluth Minnesota railroad museum for more railroad inspiration.
in Wisconsin there is
Great work ！
Thank you radioactivedog for the links, lots of great locomotive inspiration there!
Thank you q879096600!
really great work. bravooooo and great use of zmodeler
Thank you vahidahmadizb2016!
Excellent work, insane amount of details, well done!
Thank you dillster!
Nice integration and modelling man.
Do you plan some kind of diorama with it?
Thank you Scote!
No… no diorama with it.
Awesome work!!! Absolutely great!!
Exceptional! Great and inspiring work!
I assume you’re experienced with other modeling packages. How do you compare zmodler to them?
Thank you AbbY-Art!
Thanks nebular! ZModeler makes it really fast and easy compared to other modeling packages. I was able to block out the major shapes really fast and focus on my proportions. I used to go from Maya to ZBrush, but now I try to stay in ZBrush as long as I can.
Thank you guys at Pixologic! I am extremely honored to be featured on Top Row!!
Hey, Concept is good 
I like the idea 
impressive work !
Did you work from engineering drawings or just photographic reference?
As a modeler of railroad equipment, I can attest to the complexity of steam locomotives from a shear number of parts perspective. Nice work!
I’m also curious about whether you basically went all the way with ZModeler, or did you incorporate ZB’s Dynamic SubD and/or standard SubD, then retopo?
Hello tburbage! No engineering drawing was used as reference… Only photographic references. Lots of them!
Most of the train was modeled using ZModeler with dynamic SubD. Parts like the wheels were dynameshed with Live Booleans. Then manually retopo.
Hey,
If you’re interested I could send you a copy of some original builders drawings for a project I’m working on. I’m trying to find others interested in building some high quality trains for a short film I’m working on for some animation experience for both film and UE4 game development. If you’re interested, let me know via PM.
