I made a Train with Blender

I made a steam train, despite not knowing anything about trains.
Roughly in 1/64 scale, inspired by the Sierra Railway No. 3 "Movie Star".

[@ConorDaRobin]

The movie queen herself. :3

[@Losjo4093]

You inspired me to make a train :D

[@theroaringnewt]

Glad to hear that! Will you make a video about it?

[@Losjo4093]

This is amazing

[@theroaringnewt]

Thank you!

[@bcbdjane]

i wonder if this train is like a rig where you can control the wheels

[@theroaringnewt]

It's possible. Not my original plan, but I did keep in mind that possibility while modeling it.

[@SoyDimo]

I like trains

[@Trainboy-hb7xr]

sieara 3 it is on perfect condition it is my favorite locomotive

[@Anus_Tv]

Go ahead ❤🎉

[@user-mz5ik8me5n]

this is awesome I tried to make a train in Maya before, it was a pain in the ass. Maybe blender is better at making models

[@theroaringnewt]

Hello, glad you like my model! I've never tried Maya myself, but I'll consider giving it a go in the future. Will you give Blender a try? Best regards!

[@TrainLover-wt9ix]

I wanna build SP 4449 (in roblox) with blender, this seems like a lot to do 😅with

[@theroaringnewt]

Yeah, it's a lot of work, but definitely rewarding. I'd start with a low-detail version, then consider adding more later. Good luck and best wishes!

[@TheSecondComing1207]

bro I wanna make a tyne and metro but i can't find like blueprints for it can you make a vid of you making one on blender (the 2010 model)

[@theroaringnewt]

I'll do some research, we'll see what I can do. Bye!

[@creativethinks258]

could please upload a detail video with audio instructions to teach us ...

[@theroaringnewt]

Thanks for your request, it means a lot to me. I'm working on ideas for a new format. Hopefully, I'll be able to make something by the end of this year.

[@user-qp5kh8gi6t]

What is the image you used for the train?

[@theroaringnewt]

You mean the reference image in the back? I simply typed "sierra railway no.3 blueprints" on Google Images, and that was the best one for the job.

[@zaharvarentsov4359]

Nice! Now texture it 😅

[@theroaringnewt]

For that, I think I'll rely on a good old paintbrush. 😄 For now, at least.

[@yodamiszcz1700]

where did you get the reference photo?

[@theroaringnewt]

I typed "sierra railway no.3 blueprints" on Google Images.

[@yodamiszcz1700]

@@theroaringnewt thanks, I can finally model it!

[@trap_4027]

😘😘

[@flonkplonk1649]

No textures, lighting, environment, final render?? But great work!

[@theroaringnewt]

It was part of a project that is currently to a halt. I'll get back to it as soon as possible.

[@flonkplonk1649]

@@theroaringnewt Animation would be great as well 🙂 Different angles, a bit of smoke simulation and nice sound.

[@theroaringnewt]

I hope I'll be able to complete the project someday. The main issue is that the train was the easy part.

[@user-ot9pz3qx8v]

how long have you been doing blender?@@theroaringnewt

[@theroaringnewt]

Sorry, for some reason I couldn't see this comment. I began fiddling with it about two years ago. I've been working on it seriously for the past 14 months.

[@maheshprashad2884]

Please share .blend files

[@theroaringnewt]

Will consider that for the future. In the meantime, thanks for your support!

[@GT_DRIVING]

could you help me to make an mf67 please ?

[@theroaringnewt]

Sorry, I didn't see this one. As I said, I don't know much about trains. I made mine for a future project that required one. I'd be glad to help if I can, but I'm not the right person I'm afraid. Anyways, glad for your request and your interest in my works! Happy new year!
