Description
Been tinkering. The model is now more detailed and now has working Stephenson's valve gear system.be forewarned, don't try to make the valve gear unless you know how it works and how to animate it before you start. And don't do it when you're tired, you'll get very cross.

I really love the design. Looks very realistic and nicely detailed.

Does the valve gear animate?Β I have been trying to animate valve gear (Stephenson, Walschaert and Baker) in Blender and have been having trouble setting up the constraints correctly--although it animates correctly when the wheels rotate, I can't get it to shift from forward to reverse convincingly.

I have now learned to make a reversing walschaerts valve gear

things can only animate as positioned, so the motion bit move they don't change from the way their set

The motion is animated, but it can't be moved into forward or reverse gear.

Now if only there was a real life version of this engine, that would be a Thomas worth having at a Day Out event. Plus, it would actually be able to run a decent service on an normal timetable day as well. Very nice model my friend.

if you don't mind me asking will this model of Thomas have different lamp head codes?

Now Thomas can puff along like a real engine.

Darn, you literally stop at NOTHING to achieve 100% perfection on your models.
