Thankyou for the information you sent regarding the auxiliary equipment. I've been able to get models nearer final completion, with the 'correct' auxiliary equipment shown. Both models now shown after my first attempt at rendering them in 3DS.

Meeting Across The River - Bruce Springsteen

I'm with Steamport Southport on this. I'll be waiting until things get back to normal. I think most pubs will have a limitation on the number of customers they can admit, plus there will be no standing at the bar as well as enforcing the 2m social distancing rule. Strangely enough, I've been teetotal the last nine weeks or so, but, am looking forward to some kind of normality returning. Whenever that is.

Midnight at the lost and found - Meatloaf

Good evening all, In reply to the thread 'Anyone interested in Ships...' the answer is very much so. Here's a few images I've taken over the past couple of years: Silver Fern MT99, Maryport Trawler Race, 2019 Probably one of the most ostentatious vessels seen at Whitehaven, the Lady M beats them all. Valued at a cool £40m, she's owned by the Russian Billionaire Alexei Mordashov, the main shareholder and chairman of the mining and steel conglomerate Severstal.

Quick question: Do you have the sizes for the underframe equipment of the Class 89?. I'd be looking for elevations and sections through, so I can model and add these to my assemblies. It would help me complete a weekend 'lockdown' project I've been working on since I've been working from home the last two month. In a nutshell, I've always been intrigued with the possibility of developing a 'family' of Diesel & Electric locomotives, with reasonably common cabs, bogies and bodyside construction, all withing the BR loading gauge, allied with my own take on styling etc. The initial design layout was initiated in AutoCAD, and modeled in Inventor. I've been looking at rendering the assemblies in 3DS, but its not terribly user friendly. At the moment, it looks like I have an electric locomotive with fuel tanks . I can adapt the Class 89 auxiliary equipment quite neatly, to replace the 'fuel tanks'. The enclosed screenshots depict the Electric locomotive family. I think the end result does not look at all bad. Cheers!

A very well excecuted model, excellent level of detail. Have you created this model in Sketchup?.
