I like the presentation with drawings in the background. Can I ask what software you use?

Thank you! The software I use is called "Roblox Studio" .

Unfortunately not, since I am from a whole other continent I'm unable to afford to be a member as much as I'd like to. Thank you though

Have you tried Fusion 360 which is free to use, you can get colours correct and get things to look more real. Roblox Studio looks a bit chunky like lego.

 

Attached are a couple of Broad Gauge locos I have drawn up in Fusion 360 a Gooch Bogie class and a Gooch Sun class as running as a saddle tank.

I agree David, thank you for the recommendation! Fusion 360 seems very nice and more refined, more detailed too but I wish to continue using Roblox Studio, as its the building software for the game "Roblox" which features other player-made games, I also follow a certain style where stuff may look very blocky, what we call Stud Style! I love your models too, they're just so amazing and great!

Nice to know! I've always been intrigued about Fowlers Ghost

Interesting, my life would be very much better had we preserved or taken photos of it.. 😆

I do all my model designs in Roblox Studio yes, and it's quite limited but seeing many people having created things that look like it came from different softwares would make me say so otherwise. But then again, quite limited as the "Unioning" process (Which allows you to modify non-mesh parts like adding a cylindrical hole through a block part) doesn't allow users to apply it to Mesh parts, like the cones you see. Happy to have helped!

Glad you found it Mike! A friend sent them to me, the picture i was provided with looked like it came from the Locomotive Magazine.

Quite a late reply, deeply apologize. I use "Roblox Studio", which has its own free-roam camera so It allows me to aim the camera pretty much at any angle and such.

And yes, i agree with your statement about the colours looking quite flat, it has to do something with the lighting I chose, I usually tend to avoid using custom Colors that arent from the default selection as I want my models to fit within the style i chose. Hopefully i've given you the information you wanted! Thanks :)

I can elaborate more if needed!

I might stop uploading them individually, as it clogs up my blog (which i have just realized now) so probably expect a lengthy blog next!

Thank you Mike! Very well-appreciated. I also look forward to what magnificent things you create next, they're just real beauties to look at.

Still quite new to this stuff, forgot the image!

Also included the condensing apparatus or whatever that is..
