Thank you! It's really a cool feeling and I never expected to be at this point.

I want to wish both you, and Globin a congratulations on this mod, having officially became part of the Rolling Line locomotive roster.

Both links have been updated, thanks for the heads up!

Hey, the links for making liveries is broken, do you have another link?

Hmm, dunno what might be up with the water tank, unless the problem is that it doesn't want to separate from the main body mesh (in which case I'm afraid you'll have to separate it manually).

As for the animation, that's the reason I didn't try to do a 3-truck one myself actually. If you don't want to bother with trying to figure out articulation, I think you should be able to just extend the mesh of the driveshaft as far back as you want. As far as actually trying to make it flex in curves and stuff, I've got absolutely no clue how to do that.

Not directly in-game, but you can copy the stack model from the GeTA version's mod folder (file should be named "ShayB_stack_oil") into your Custom Assets folder and then replace the default stack mesh with that in the in-game modding menus.

Alternatively, it looks - to me, at least - like the Dixiana (Roaring Camp #1) matches pretty closely to the GeTA spec as-is, with the narrower stack and the oil bunker in the tender. You could just take the GeTA version and delete the window bars mesh in-game, and then go from there.

Is It Possible To Change The Smoke Stack Mesh When Your Making Liverys. Because Im Trying To Make Roaring Camp No. 1.

Now all we need is a Willamette geared engine!

Found you because of Mudrunner, staying because of Rolling Line.

This is awesome! Excellent work Husky!

climaxlol

is good i like

so then a heisler would be best for your needs

It does happen with this one, and it annoys me a bit, but it's a minor enough issue that I can tolerate it (and the only other option would be locking the trucks to the frame, which would also look weird).

but the same thing happens with the normal shay, clips through itself on right hand turn, and splits on left. (or maybe try a heisler loco)

If someone else wants to take a shot at it though, they're absolutely welcome to! It's entirely possible that there's a way of doing it that more experienced modders would figure out, but I'm not planning to do it myself.

I've considered it, but given the way that articulation works in Rolling Line, I don't know if it's possible to do without having the driveshaft do bad things (i.e. split in half on a left-hand curve, clipping through itself on a right-hand curve, etc.). Since the driveshaft would need to be attached to the locomotive and tender bodies for it to show up properly on straight track, it would be articulating around a point it is not centered on, meaning that things wouldn't line up.

In short, I don't know how to make the driveshaft articulate in a way that doesn't look bad, and I don't want to make something that I will be unhappy with.

why not make a mod that adds the 3 and 4 truck shays' tender?

Sorry, I'm not taking commissions. I do believe there's a Tweetsie skin for the Flyer somewhere on the workshop though (I know it's not the same as a dedicated model but it's a start, anyway).

may i ask if i can have a tweetsie r.r. pack (number 7,3 and 12

ah, thanks m8 that helped a lot.

The number plate is a separate sub-model, so people can remove it easily if they want. You'll need to pick your modified texture for the number plate mesh as well as the main mesh. Same goes for the smokestack.

The uh, number plate on the smokebox wont change when I try to color it.

I've tried my hand at making multi-step whistles a few times and could never quite get them to loop the way I liked, but if you want to take a shot at it, go for it! I don't mind in the slightest.

about time some one made a shay.
thanks for this.
