Updated the MRT-3 CKD Tatra RT8D5M with the same improvements from the AU version, such as fixed windows and railings:

Created a single deck version of my double Decker train. Next I am thinking of making a streetcar (double decker and single decker versions) followed by a trolley. Then maybe a Funicular, perhaps a cable car and a series of buses. Then get all the way down to a sedan and a smart car type carshare vehicles and maybe even a bikeshare. All under one large fictional AU company.
Nice start, but the front Jacobs bogie is impractical as that bogie setup is for joining two cars together. Also having only two doors on each side of the cars would impede passenger flow in a metro/subway train as they are intended to allow passengers to quickly enter and exit the train. Here is a representative of a "proper" metro/subway train, a fictional variant of the Alstom Metropolis metro train design from one of my AU projects:

Swore I wouldn't do ANY railroad stuff. :roll:

USA, SMART-Sonoma Marin Area Rapid Transit
Finally, hopefully, maybe...to start moving folks this year in my hood. Lots of NIMBYS have been fighting this for years, the bicycle coalitions have forced extra pathways, people buying property next to the long existing ROW fight over noise (stupid...they knew the "inactive and not abandoned" track was there when they bought).

The railroading I really, really like...Narrow Gauge! Especially the North Pacific Coast Rail Road. In my Back Yard, local excuse for hikes, and geeking out on railroad history, etc.

USA, Baldwin 8-18c (1875) 3' Gauge
A few hundred of these were built and even exported out of the US.

USA, NPC#8 Mason Bogie "Bully Boy" (1877) 3' Gauge

NPC #21 "The Freak"
A trashed and rebuilt Baldwin 8-18c with an oil fired marine boiler. The world's FIRST Cab Forward. A green crew scorched the firebox within a couple years. The Italians try claiming the "first cab forward+, nope...

More on this Railroad later.

These drawings are just awesome, esp. the narrow-gauges. I hope You'll post much more of similar ones in the future!

Impressive set of drawings, I think you've really nailed the polished brass on the steam locos too.

Blackbuck,

I've spent about 18 years doing deep research and hands on restoration on surviving 19th Century Narrow Gauge equipment. The color effects very close to reality.

Some more West Coast Narrow Gauge in the near future.
