If your socks have just exploded, I apologize. XD



Otherwise, this is the big thing I have been keeping secret for many, many months, and have been working tirelessly at, on and off, until its completion today - An animated Pennsylvania Railroad T1 Duplex 4-4-4-4 Steam Locomotive, rendered painstakingly in my scale of pixel train artwork to a point where I can say it is as accurate as I can possibly muster, with both sides sporting unique details applied after thorough visual research.

While unnumbered, (And professionally lettered by Dr. Betchkote), this locomotive in particular is styled off early production T1s that were constructed with full streamlining, but have connected hand railings on the nose. I elected to keep it almost completely greyscale, as the paint of a real T1 was almost impossible to replicate off of the scarce color photographs available on the internet.



And, yes, rendering the wheels and rods in different placements to simulate rotation was a tedious undertaking. I believe it turned out quite well though. :la:

I agree my friend, but making looping smoke that looks good in motion would be particularly difficult, as you can imagine. :]
