    The Engine is a mod of Rodea2007's Bigboy (found HERE i think :Hmmmmm ), so all credit for the files i used or changed goes to him. :salute:
    The Tender is a mod of my FEF Tender.

    Changes:
      1. Model:
        - almost complete new (just used Rodea's as reference and kept some minor details in, e.g. bell, numberplate, ...)
      2. Texture:
        - complete new
      3. Animation: (as seen in pic #2 below)
        - fixed Valve Gear Animation to match the Walschaert standard (not Rodea's fault, the Mikado he used has the wrong animation)
        - Articulated Front (Pilot, Trailing Bogie, Front Drive Wheels)
        - Offset Angle between 1st and 2nd Set of Drive Wheels and Rods
        - Adjustments to Rod Positions to match the new Texture
        - Adjusted Engine Animation (bell position), because of slightly increased length of the model

    Specifications:
      - Decal Texture (Engine and Tender) included in the Engines DIFF (UP #4012)
      - Centipede Coal Tender (shared animation)
      - Polygon Count: 8344 (with Tender)



    Engine made into a Building block and can be found here now


    Enjoy :yippey

    I have made this engine and the three daylight engines into BBs. I have to run them on my photo map and get shots for the posts, then they will be posted in Engines Are Us!.
