Hello All,

If there are some on this board who want a detailed introduction to a modern steam locomotive, here you go.

For you rivet counters, every nut and bolt may not be there but this person put a significant amount of work into this. Follow it through, the boxpok driver casting detail is pretty much spot on!

Much of the world out there is getting so accustomed to 3-D animation, they take much of this for granted. This reminds me of the PRR T-1 animation which was even closer to a full fledged Solid Works or AutoCad commercial industrial CAD solids animation.

3-D can be wonderful eye candy, however the more detail applied adds a richness that can take it to a whole different level.

I was not aware of boiler foam indication systems and spinning water separators. Interesting. All those stay bolts!…..oh my word!

Sincerely,

Randy Musselman

Discovered this animation last week; very impressive. I wonder if any museums would consider this for an interactive, can you imagine a virtual reality application of being able to look inside an engine/freight car/etc.?

Check the other videos on the channel out, you'll be glad you did.

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

I brought forth items that many overlook and take for granted without any appreciation for what those unseen components contribute to the overall functioning of the machine.
