Hi! I apologize for the random friends request. I had written a comment on your profile, but for whatever reason it wasn't posted. I was wondering if I may use these great models in a single-player mod I'm developing for Half-Life 2. Proper credit will be given of course. PM for more info!

I don't think I will, really. I don't like making locomotives, and my models would be primitive compared to other modelers in Gmod, so I probably won't bother. Freight cars are my area of expertise and my interest, so I think I'll be sticking with those.

when will you do a locomotive pack

Magnum's Train Pack. I should probably add it as a dependency!

One more Quick Question, were do you get the barber_s2_phx bogies?

Thanks A Lot Man, Some of the cars look fine with the Magnums freightbogie2 but some look a little odd.

A mixture. I reccomend Magnum's freightbogie2 and barber_s2_phx. Some cars are designed for the old one, some for the new one.

What Trucks(Bogies) do you use?

Theres a few different screenshots of the broken render with the centerbeam on my profile, but the models are errors for me exept for the 4 I named

Any screenshots?

I can only see the 40ft and 89 ft boxcars along with the centerbeam and the 40ft flatcar, I've tried deleting the .gma and redownloading and It didn't work

Which ones can you see? Also, have you tried deleting the .gma?

Whenever I download these I can only see 3 of them but one keeps breaking my render, the rest I cannot see because they are errors

Interesting requests!

I have a model of a 4750 hopper 65% complete, though I barely model these days.

As for reefers, it makes a better boxcar modification than a full-blown model. After all, barely anybody uses reefer cars in Gmod.

A couple of requests I would make is to do a 4750 CU FT (AAR C113) Covered Hopper, and a 72’ Mechanically Refrigerated Boxcar (AAR R660).

Simple enough. Thanks for such an good answer,

Fiddlesticks! Looks like I forgot to respond to a comment!

Well, I guess an answer is in order......


To quote connorlovestrains: "yep"

Assembly is simple: use the normal Axis tool to connect the bogie to the main prop.
First, click on the cross on the top of the bogie, then on the cross on the bottom of the car. Repeat for both ends, and done!

yep

So, we have to build them?

All screenshots but the last one were taken on GM_Sunset_Gulch. The last one is from GM_Industry.

Whats the map?

you’re welcome

I was confused for a second, but now I get it.

Thanks for spotting that!

On second look, I can't replicate what you're experiencing.

Game updated and this happens - https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/932688688003060889/1AC8A5A84F84961756B382D727745CA6EF846652/

I have reinstalled the addon and the dependincies and..

I found that follow is missing:
models/proppertextures/met_acrylic_metal1_painted
models/proppertextures/met_acrylic_painted

I can work around this in an E2 by setting a temp material

I'm aware I cannot react instantly to what Mag does. Just hold on, and use axis center + precision for now.

Magnum's new Barber S2 trucks don't fit on your car

Airslide mock-up complete. Only 7 hours of work!

aw man that sucks :C

I'm hardly not doing it, it's just going to take time for me to get back into modeling.
In the meantime I'm going to mock up an Airslide.

Not really. I hardly model anymore, I got most ofthe way thru that and ever finished it. I'm considering releasing it, but meh. I might make some "low-detail" models in the future, just to make models again wihtout the huge burnout and time sink.
Infact I'll do that now.

he's probably still working on it :P

are we ever going to get this hopper

This is pretty...

its o kek

XD

Sorry for the harshness... I just find your case hilarious.

fuck

heh.....
heheh......
Heh....
Hehe.
HAHAHAHAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHHAHAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.......
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I needed that.

Unfortunatley for you I am demonstrably immune to emotional "PLZPLZPLZ (puppy eyes) etc", you won't be able to get me to do anything like that.

In other news, I don't make locomotives. I'll only be making 1, and that will be after the regauge.

Also, sombody by the name of Battleship is already making a Centipede in all it's glory, so I'm not going to steal his thunder.

One more thing...

The fact that you mispelled my name doesn't help your bargaining abilities.

Metladon, CAN YOU PEEEEEEEEEAAASE MAKE A BALDWIN CENTIPEDE MODEL??!?!?

Hi I'm new to train build. You should make a steam group as a sort of fan club! Then we could follow your progress

its not that i dont want to it just im not good at it

Build them?

It's as simple as 2 axis from the bogies to the frames, and you have a working car!

If you want detail, just add some! Tweak the color, change the bodygroups, maybe mess with the sumterials, and you have a peice of rolling stock!

Gmod is all about creativity and skill, so if you don't want to do that, why are you playing it?

i would use this if i didnt have to build them

Bug report: The supporting bar things(I have no idea what they are called other than just bars/beams) on only one end of the centerbeam has no materialing, so its just an invisible hole.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1195668354

This is only for the Trinity and Gunderson/Trenton truss bodygroups.

Post 1:

If I make bogies, trust me all the bells and whistles will be included. Including a proper wheel texture.

Post 2:

I have a suggestion thread, I would reccomed reposting this one to there so others can discuss.

I would like to, and chances are I will after I finish some other things, but it remains to be seen if Hammer will allow it. I have some solutions already worked out, however....

BTW though Met, I like these models, I am rebuilding my hopper fleets that were originally magnums..

Looking forward to mopre in the future also, any chance of whalebelly tankers at some point like:
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/40/69/e2/4069e2a0c8de7f18048d94893c97ff21.jpg

Just asking.

Ah ok, huh I just changed the scale of the car slightly in my holo e2 to make it "look" more correct.

Oh if you are making trucks can you please make a set without wheels but have the invisible sliders, so we can add the rolling wheel e2's on them?
OR
came the actual wheel material something unique from the rest so in an e2 we can make them invisible so we can use a custom wheel e2?

It is, in fact. the correct size.

However, I can agree that it clips and overhangs, because my model is not the one at fault. It's because magnum's bogies are a full-size truck, but Taconite cars use a smaller, more compact truck that's only 3/5ths the size.

I will eventually model those trucks, but for now we have what we have, and the overhang is better than no bottom unloading zone.

There is a size issue with the Jenny - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/Elfnet_Gaming/screenshots
It's not quite long enough and the truckset clips into the main body at the unloading port, and wheels overhang way too much on each end.
