Description
Completely new updated mesh, built from scratch using the REAL E2 plans from the 7th of November 1914.Really happy with how this render turned out, been testing out cycles in Blender.
UPDATE 23/10/16:
Face made by the wonderful and modified by myself.

At the time, I had no idea this was available in T:ANE. I just saw this on deviant art one day and thought: "Huh. Nice render " XD

That is really good! Well done to both of you!

Yeah, I did. Wasn't happy with the original version.

The original did look kinda good, but updating models is great!

Wait the real E2 plans if you got a team up of people who want to make a new E2 (and make it operational)
π: 0 β©: 1
Nah, I'll pass. An E2 wouldn't really warrant a new build project, only a handful of people would want to see a real E2 back - the rest would just want it for Thomas.
It'd cost more than it's worth...
the E2's are pretty inefficient locomotives anyway.

I'd say just make an E2X like Thomas. For starters, you can use a boiler of an E4X like LBSCR No. 104 in the 1950s. Then just straightened the running plate which will increase the water tanks and the Coal bunker and give it more weight for tractive effort. Then just add the wheel arches, and then you have the real Thomas. No need to add the Westinghouse Steam Pump.
The E2s originally had boilers of I2 locomotives. Which the I2s were failures as well, which I think that's how the E2s were considered failures.

I think that'd be the only feasible way to build one - but then what is it? An E2 improvement? Or just Thomas and only Thomas. That's the problem.

It doesn't have to be a particular class. Some locomotives are just one offs.
Such as the Lickly Banker 'Big Emma', or the NVR No. 1800 'Thomas' etc.
We can just call it Thomas.

I think you mean "Big Bertha"!
But yeah - I just don't think people will come out to see a new build of "Thomas" basically.

Another thing too, Big Bertha has two different names. Β That's why I called her Big Emma
π: 0 β©: 0
That's exactly what I mean!
I just thought of it for fans sake. Oh well.

So detailed...how he will look in a different color is questionable. You'll probably get a bit irritated at me for saying this but will there be an image like this showing Thomas in LBSC black or not?

Okay just wondering. I'll wait and see. By the way, have thought about achieving the rank of master builder?
π: 0 β©: 1
Your models are improving so I guess that makes you a master builder (or modeller).

Riiiight - ok then.

Very good!
Do you think you will ever release it to the public?
π: 0 β©: 1
Of course, I plan to release most of my models that are from the show or books.

Where do you release them ?

Have i told you how amazing you are Luke?
π: 0 β©: 0
Quite a outstanding piece of 3D modelling only thing that looks abit off are the crow feet on his face they look too big
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I've removed em now. Will probably update the picture again later!
π: 0 β©: 0
Nah, will probably edit it a bit more. Just wanted an updated render sorted.

Not bad.
I've been meaning to ask this, but what kind of whistle sounds did you give Thomas and James?
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, the whistles have both been changed now. They now have accurate whistles that belong to the nearest surviving class. For Thomas, he uses an LBSCR E4 whsitle and James uses an L&YR Class 27 whistle - closest whistles I can find that would be similar.

i will bomb the ribble steam railway if you dont sned the cdp!!!!1

This is awesome work by the master.
Stunning Luke. Simply stunning.
Don't forget you'll need to teach me so I can do BG!

Looks brilliant! The improvements have made it look much better.

Looks much better as it's a completely new model! Restarted it when I got the real plans.
