The Mighty Mike - v2

[scottb613]

Hi Folks,

Finishing off v2 of my Mike. Should be done - shortly.

• New Specular Shine where appropriate.
• Updated Physics - using book values alone seems to truly neuter steam locomotives.
• Updated Sounds - reworked Derek's original sounds and added Cylinder Cocks.
• New Cantu Couplers - thanks for sharing Erick.
• New High Poly Wheels replacing my old alpha wheels.
• New Solid Cab as opposed to alpha cab.
• New crew.
• New unlabeled version specifically for skinners.

Regards,
Scott

Scott,

That's beautiful!

At first glance, I thought it was a photograph of a physical model.

Is that one of your motley crew leaning out the window?

Hi Fred,

Thanks so much - I'm pretty happy with the way she is coming around. Yep - the new crew members look pretty darn good in the cab - way better than my v1 release.

Nice... I'm sure you probably needed the diversion from coding.

Hi Eric,

LOL - yeah - I like modeling - coding is a chore.

Well, I guess a redo of FBL 1319 is in order. Excellent work!

Not to sound like a broken record but really nice work Scott!

Despite a life long love of trains it's always been about diesel for me, but even so that is a superb looking model Scott. Congrats!

This has too much detail than any other model I've seen.

Thanks Parker - yep - the textures reflecting logos or numbers should not have changed much - should be relatively easy.

Thanks Pete - yeah - I do like early diesels - but steam just does it for me.

Thanks - trying to walk the fine line - between detail and performance.

Hi Folks,

Mikado UPLOADED and in the File Library

Also working on my beloved LHR variant - needed a second air compressor and a Worthington SA feedwater heater - which consists of a cold-water pump instead of the injector at the rear - the coffin heater on top of the smokebox - and the hot-water pump on the pilot deck. The tender will get a doghouse. Still a WIP.
