My new project it is not a real steam traction engine but own design, I based it of multiple steam traction and Steamrollers engines. Things to do: Modeling JBeam Texturing Custom Sounds
Re: Steam Tractor (Need a name for it) I am one of these people who hates calling them "steam tractors"... instead I refer to them as "traction engines" What you got is a good start, but might I recommend that you increase the boiler's length a bit and then add the smoke box. The Chimney could do with being quite a bit wider in diameter and taller if I am honest. Personally, I don't work with these engines, but I do work with railway locos and the traction engines do appear quite often. You want to be careful with the weight of it, since many tend to be a bit back heavy (This is one reason as to why I think it could do with being longer), but your placement of the flywheel might want to be moved back towards the footplate to make room for your cylinders and valve gear. But I am happy that we are getting a steamer of some sort into this game. I just hope someone makes some steam locos to the Charles Collett and William Dean designs! Would be nice to see!
Re: Steam Tractor (Need a name for it) Thanks for the info, I'll "fix" these things as fast as possible and model some more stuff to it. - - - Updated - - - I found a name for it and started modeling the steering it is chain driven, I'll upload progress pics tomorrow.
Re: 1902 Kranker Steam Traction Engine cool will it be able to move if so make it able to run over cars that whould be so cool
Re: 1902 Kranker Steam Traction Engine Yes it will be able to move and run over other cars. - - - Updated - - - Update: Fixed Boiler size Added Cylinder Added Steering Moved the Flywheel back. - - - Updated - - - More Progress
Re: 1902 Kranker Steam Traction Engine Couple of my co-workers have real steam engines. This will be a good topic starter tomorrow lol. Are these going to be full steel wheel only?
Re: 1902 Kranker Steam Traction Engine Did you like, blow on it or something? I wouldn't really consider that a bump.
Re: 1902 Kranker Steam Traction Engine you do realize its chris' thread right, and he updated it with progress
Re: 1902 Kranker Steam Traction Engine That mod is really nice will it have custom sounds like the Waterloo boy johndeere
Started working on the steamroller version and changed the name to "1906 Cranker". I also need help with assigning the colour selector to a material.
