Trainz Content Creation Corner
Tips, tricks, techniques and tutorials for Content Creation

In this edition, we have another tutorial from the late Bill (Billegulla) Fock. This tutorial show you how to create the rounded 'corner' that is seen on 'belpair' type fireboxes on steam locomotives. However, this 'corner' object can also be used in many other applications, such as the 'nose' on car body style Alco locomotives, or for other objects that have a compound curve shape.

Please note, this tutorial was written for GMax, however those using 3DSMax should find very little different.

PRR T1 - A Fleet of Modernism

PRR T1 - A Fleet of Modernism - Now Available!
Trainz Add-on Pack

Click to view Video - The PRR T1 'A Fleet of Modernism' Add-on Pack The PRR T1 'A Fleet of Modernism' Add-on Pack recreates the striking image of these shark nosed behemoths in their days of speeding the 'Fleet of Modernism' cars to their destination on trains such as 'The Broadway Limited' and 'The General'. Step into the cab and take charge of these mighty horses, relax in the comfort of your roomette, or enjoy the view from the observation lounge.

History
During the 1930's, competition with the increasingly popular automobile saw many railroads attempt to become a more attractive option by modernising their equipment. 'Streamline Moderne' was the style of the day and it's design trademarks were employed to repackage rail travel in a way that inspired a new sense of confidence in it's service.

Refurbishment saw classically decorated heavyweight carriages give way to smooth-sided designs of steel construction, and interior appointments kept in step with all the modern conveniences. Flowing, aerodynamic appearance was characteristic of the streamline style, and brought a sleek, speedy and futuristic look to the railroads. Drastically falling passenger revenues on the Pennsylvania Railroad caused the administration to consider it's own future in the streamlined world, and vision was required to create an identity that would capture the imagination of the travelling public.
