(Original Thread Title: 3D NYCentral Dreyfuss Hudson and 3D PRR S1 #6100 2018)
In case you missed it! Some folks from K&L Trainz are making a 3D NYCentral Dreyfuss Hudson and the 20th Century trainset for the Trainz simulator. Classic Trains in computer simulator, stay tuned if you are interested.
My, they have excellent taste in trains, don’t they?
They do! My family love their works and have quite a lot of their product on my computer. Pennsy fans will love their collection. They are probably the most active 3D modeler who still making American steam locomotives for games. Their works are user-friendly which allows the user to reskin (repaint), exchange train trucks as well as editing of the config file. My first complete PRR Fleet of Modernism train set on my computer was modified from their works. My daughter contacted them for a PRR S1, but they told her that they are very busy and can’t accept new project request until summer 2019. [tup]
Those are pretty darn gorgeous! [bow]
Yes, they are very well detailed too. The game itself doesn’t require a very powerful computer spec, a brand new computer from five years ago could handle it, but player better equips a graphics card for it. [:)]
From several years ago
One nit to pick - No B&O CPL’s for signals.
I have this one as well, It was Olive Dennis’ iconic work. The cars didn’t have the interior but I reskin all the windows with better texture; a trick used in the era of Microsoft Train Simulator.
MILW’s Class A:
Remarkable! Olive Dennis lives!
Holly cow! Dreyfuss goes psychadelic! [(-D]
: )
It looks like Dreyfuss met Andy Warhol. I believe different colors represent different 3D parts of the engine in that pic. We can see the same feature in those professional construction engineering software.
An update from K&L:
After 20 years of waiting ( My first PC was purchased in 1998), I finally have a chance to arrange a “train race” between the NYC J3a and PRR duplexes. I am gonna finalize the engine config file of my S1 for the “Battle of the Century”
[C][8D]
Oh boy, let us know who wins!
haha. I will try recording it using the Window 10 built-in function. But the video file will be quite big. Stay tuned, Firelock76! [Y][8D]
Thanks! As cool as that S-1 is (was?) I have to admit I’m rooting for the Dreyfus Hudson, I’ve got a family connection with the Central.
Why bother; it’s the wrong comparison. If you need to run a J3a for some unaccountable reason, at least give it a fair handicap by leaving all that tin off.
The interesting comparison is S1 to S1.
(And please, for my sake if no one else’s, the stylist is DREYFUSS. The other spelling is a Frenchman unduly accused of treason in the 19th Century. Or an investment brand…)
Dreyfuss. I beg your pardon. I probably dropped the second s due to excited anticipation of the turkey Lady Firestorm was cooking.
" L’ Affaire Dreyfus?" Hey, I know all about that, I’ve seen “The Life Of Emile Zola!”
Great film!
That is why YouTube exists.
That can be arranged. [C][:-^]
How about 25 T1s vs 25 T1s?
An “update” from K&L TrainZ, a nice presentation of the legendary history of The 20th Century Limited.
A couple of nits to pick. The engine change at Harmon is depicted wrong if only 5 minutes is allowed for the change. The electric engine would pull ahead far enough that the Hudson could come in behind it clearing the switch back to the train and then while the Hudson was going back to couple up the electric would clear the main. As depicted the engine change would take upto 10 minutes.
Arriving LaSalle Street Station the James Whitcomb Riley is shown departing, the Riley operated in and out of the Illinois Central’s station down closer to the Lake Michigan waterfront.
Beyond the nits, a great CGI video!
