Thats right after a long wait the waste land that was Qld Steam in Msts is now showing signs of life.
Cpt. Bazza from NZ has been working his magic and we now have the makings of a fine USATC Macca.

this model is going to be released as factory made first followed by alterations by others (eg QR, Indian Railways Etc). It is 3 scales atm but it is hoped a NZR 128 scae model is on the cards (otherwise ill be relaying a lot of track).

NZR 128 scale uses standard gauge track and scales the locos and rollingstock up. Also all objects on said railway must be scaled up. BVR has been built like this as the currently avalible QR locos and Rollingstock are to NG scale with SG bogies, The new QR BL and BVL coaches i am producing will also be NZR 128 but I still am hoping that some other models for QR could be rescaled as this was the only way we could make the AC16 Properly.

Jamie,

The loco in the middle of this screenshot is NZ128

Built to scale, it would be the same size as the 2100 class.

Cheers,
David.

this loco maybe one of the best msts steam locos once finished, however shes a bit high on the poly side.

Not mocking this supurb model but the bell has got to go, be intereting to see if this model will have a cow catcher or not.

Also any chance it may be avaliable for TRS2004/6 plenty of QR steamers being developed there including a highly detailed DD17.

Stunning work either way absoloutley gobsmacked Very Happy

Cheers

Careful with that light at the end of the tunnel, it might be another train coming!

As said she is in as built original condition atm will have changes done
TRS may be hard as the programing is quite different. PS the new Al/Bl coaches arrived last night from the Kiwi land 5 coaches hopefully 2 with EOT coupler down rest coupler between coaches on freight tag. In latest AC news she has made it in to SViewer and Works ok, latest render has softened the smokebox colour and .Eng file is being worked on. BVR has walking people (Thank you lord).
Currently relaying Ipswich after seeing photo of west yard in 1960, any further photos would be great. Next stop Esk.
