Description
For too long my old 030C sprites have been dogged by colors that would blind, well, a dog. D: So, again taking a cue from and his beautiful recent French locomotive sprites, I have given my 030Cs a much-needed pallet revamp for a more pleasant presentation. And also animations. Because you know.
1-pixel-to-the-inch scale, of course! The original sprite can be found here atticus-w.deviantart.com/art/W… , but... don't look.

Yes, actually, I believe that one is at the Exporail Museum in Quebec.

I'm all for a museum with a bit of international flair.

Okay, 030C is epic. 030C ANIMATED is even more epic, but damnit the stephensons! It's all glued together! I wish you had told me of this problem, I would have loved to animate the steph for you!

I know I know, but I simply had to draw the line somewhere (no pun intended)-- and besides, I'm kind of a fan of finding manageable solutions for overly-complicated problems (it's the modeler in me...).
(Of course since you're such a fan of Stephenson's animations, and I know that you are, you are more than welcome to outdo me with an outside Stephenson's'd loco sprite of your own... XD )

With everyone animating so much I feel left out, I must break out the large weapons.

The green livery gives me the happies. 
These huge animations are awesome though.

The PLM 2-4-2 in SMR has allen motion that simple moves up and down. RRT3 has zero valve gear movement of any kind. XD

Most engines in RT3 had rather clever centered valve gears EXCEPT for the Crampton, which had its outside Stephenson's valve gear animated as if it were a side rod, exactly as I have done here.
I'll have to check out this SMR 121...

I rather like the look of French locomotives, the exposed piping, etc gives a sort of "ugly cute" look...like they know how to look good, AND look ready for serious work; British locomotives just seem boring to me as far as aesthetics, everything is too smooth and hidden.

"Ugly cute"... now there's a new phrase that describes French locomotives very well, I think. In fact I'm not sure of a country off the top of my head that had locomotives more beautifully ugly than France.

It just seems to be a good look on a plate-framed locomotive...hiding everything away like Brits did (How the fuck do they fit FOUR valve-gears between the frames with their puny loading gauge?) just makes it seem too toy-like to me. (With bar framed engines, I like it either way)

Hey, those look absolutely magnificent! Awesome work on them!

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like them.

how come some of the tenders have 4 wheels with the same engines that have 6?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, locomotive tenders weren't always considered permanent equipment.
