Train Comp Revamped!

105k RailfanEthan  7.8 years ago

Since I had too short of a build time for the previous one, , this contest will have the due date on:

NOVEMBER 20th 2016!

Let's go over basics, requirements, etc.

Classes. Classes are what type of build this is. Classes are:
Steam, Diesel, Gas- Electric (smaller, ex my Plymouth), Electric, Rolling Stock (freight/passenger/misc train cars), municipal (subway, streetcars, etc), and for a first: Stations/Depots! No train required for stations or depots.

Requirements: Doesn't have to be a new build! You can give me the link through comments, or make it a successor. Make it realistic, or try to. Don't have a tender-less steam locomotive, unless the coal is stored inside. THE TRAIN MUST BE A REAL ONE. Countryies are no border, neither are years.

If you have questions, ask in comments.


Tyler's CSX: 6/15
Looks: 2/5
Handles: 3/5
Realistic/Accuracy: 1/5

Not bad for the first entry!

Faster's Amtrak: 11/15
Looks: 4/5
Handles: 4/5
Realistic/Accuracy: 3/5
The new limit is set! I suggest to attempt a interior for the locomotive next time, though it's not required. For the locomotive alone, (no points removed) the rear wheels need to be inverted. Other than that, good work!


Herpington's Rocket: 4/15
Looks: 1/5
Handles: 2/5
Realistic/Accuracy: 1/5
It's not terrible, but needs some work. I'm sure you'll be able to make awesome trains soon!

ACME's Mallard 5/15
Looks: 2/5
Handles: 1/5 (No steering)
Realistic/Accuracy: 2/5
It's alright for being made 9 months ago...


Tyguy's 0-4-0ST : 9/15
Looks: 3/5
Handles: 3/5
Realistic/Accuracy: 3/5
This is amazing! One thing to keep in mind is that the wagon is a little bit small. Otherwise, I'm impressed!

    @Tyler923 Interior is not required, but if you do I'd expect at least a few moving things (levers, throttle, or even lights)
