  • Hello. First post and first request here. Forgive me for only being able to speak English, and I hope I am formatting all of this correctly.
    This locomotive has always been a local favorite of mine and it's what got me into trains when I was a kid. If anyone skilled enough could make it I would be over the moon with joy!


    Backstory:



    Notes:
    1. Eventually some of the 1500s got an updated central driver wheel with the holes in it, as opposed to the previous ones with spokes
    2. Some equipment (hoses, air compressor, etc.) are only on one side.
    3. The locomotives of this class were all a little bit different because of add-ons from the Frisco over the years.

    I would also imagine that if you needed a particular angle, then this video would help.


    I volunteer at the museum it's currently stored at, and if I ask nice enough I could probably get access to any more documents or measurements as needed.

  • Sadly as you have said the bulk of people on this forum are German speaking. Though I would also like to see the old Burly Baldwin come to life in Transport Fever, there might not be enough interest to make her. Plus a ton of Russian content has been flooding the Steam Workshop which to me says that there are a lot of people looking for Russian content rather than anything else. Trust me I have asked on this forums before back when Train Fever was still pretty big and I was told that a lot of people who play this game are from Europe.



    if I knew how to model for Transport Fever I would try and make the 1522 and her crew cars myself, but I can't do it.

  • Yes, you are right. There are mostly this german and the russian community. But at least here are some english speaking people from all over the world too. For example @donoteat, who did an american steam locomotive just a week ago for our advent calendar.


    There are some german speaking people who have interest in american content as well, like @MaikC, @SD70M and @Werkstatt to say some names...


    Maybe you have luck and some of them or someone else is interested in it as well.

  • Yeah I just went to take a look at it and I've already downloaded the old J from the Steam Workshop.


    However the main problem I see is that the Frisco Railroad and the 1522 are not as well know outside St. Louis than say Norfolk and Western 611 or Union Pacific 844. Both me and Frisco1522 live in St. Louis where 1522 is still based. She hasn't run since 2002 and there is not a lot of videos of her. And other than a handful of trips to Illinois she didn't travel out of the state of Missouri very often.


    If someone is really wanting to do this than be my guest. After all you have TWO confirmed downloads.

  • No-one was born being able to create mods for TpF, but still a lot of people could learn it.
    If you wish to have something - in your own words - unique and not well known, you may have to create it yourself.
    I can assure you everyone can learn modding, especially for this game it is really not that hard!
    I would be happy to welcome you here as a modder! ;)

    Thanks for the advice. I have a few things I would like to model, but I wouldn't know were to start. I typically learn best though videos, but so far there isn't anything for Modding in TpF.

  • At least there is neare to none english modding video content...
    but:
    The basics about modelling in software like blender is independent of Transport Fever. There are a lot of YT Tutorials for modelling in Blender out there. If you are familiar with the basics of Blender and you modelled a first model, just ask in the forum for advice to the further steps to a TpF Mod. You may also ask in our TeamSpeak or Discord, if you prefer the speech or written dialog form.


    My suggestion: Start with something simple, for example a small asset building. Then you can proceed to locomotives later on when you have some first experience.
