I'd better be glad Sodor doesn't exist or Jock would kill me...Anyway it's time for a little fun(MOAR PUNS.)Related content

Where can I get 15ince gauge track?Β Β

I think this is actually an 18 inch gauge track from the DLS by Shortline2. Though I'm not totally sure, I haven't used the route in several months.

Ah ok, thanks

Ummm...I don't really see the point, since I don't particularly feel like making a face for him...

you don't "HAVE" to make a face for him

SHE?! Jock is a male engine ._.

Locomotives are named she regardless of their name, so in a way, he is correct.

you think I DON'T know that? I have almost every RWS book there is

Sorry for the late reply, but you put "she's Β great the way she looks nowΒ "

I see you made his undercarriage red just like Northern Rock.

I'm not one to question SI3D as I know they are very busy but their Small Railway Engines have certainly started to look dated compared to their latest stuff. No fault of theirs of course as they are always innovating and improving their models which gives them quite a lot to do alongside creating new engines from scratch.Β So it's nice to see someone elseΒ attempting to make the small railway engines to keep up with SI3D's latest models. It looks great so far; can't wait to see theΒ finalΒ productΒ Β

I read the comments below, but I'm just making sure... is this really Northern Rock you're making? Or Jock with a different coupling system? Because it would make sense for Jock to keep the buffers and screwlink couplings.
π: 0 β©: 1
This is both engines, built to Northern Rock's drawings. Rivers Esk and Mite seem to be the only engines with hooked couplings, and I can see how these link-and-pin style couplings would be compatible with them. PresumablyΒ Rivers Esk and Mite didn't get the new couplings because they don't need them. It's like the link-and-pin system and the Janney automatic coupler over here-a link can couple to both systems(Incidentally the Janney coupler was made especially to be compatible with any other system-perhaps this was the same idea.)

Well, actually, Esk and Mite have those at the front, but not on their tenders. Because they always pull trains forwards and not backwards.

It still looks nice nevertheless.
It still leaves me curious if there'll be screwlink coupling versions or not.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'll definitely do a screwlink version for Rivers Mite, Esk and Irt, but unless I find that Northern Rock or the rebuilt River Irt ever had screwlinks, I won't do them with screwlinks.

Okay, then. It just seems odd seeing a more realistic Jock lacking the coupling system used for all engines on Sodor except for the CFR.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's because I use prototypes.
π: 0 β©: 1
True. It's just a simple coupling change, though. But really, you're still entitled to your choices.

Is this going to be jock or just a real life version of it because of the smokebox
π: 0 β©: 1
Both. The face is harder to make and I leave it until the end.
π: 0 β©: 1
It is looking superb and plus you haven't even put colour on it

I never texture the model until the mesh is done.

And apparently in series 18 of thomas and friends, they are going to introduce the rws mountain engines on the culdees fell railway
Just look at this

Hooray, somebody believing in silly rumors!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah but, but didn't you just see the picture
π: 0 β©: 1
It's not there anymore. And others have removed it because it was fake. Even if it is fake, I admit that I'm interested in seeing it.

Your link seems to be broken.
π: 0 β©: 1
If its broken then,go onto the thomas and friends wikia and type in culdees quest

I think this is the first time in a long while that anyone's modelled either one of the Arlesdale Engines or their real life counterparts!
π: 0 β©: 1
That's exactly why I took it on.

Smart thinking then
