Hello;
My name is Dusten Barefoot. I am from the eastern side of the US, hailng from the sand hills of North Carolina.
I stumbled upon this site looking for information on classic Baldwin style locomotives, especially my favorite 19th century engine; the 8-18c 4-4-0.
I model in On30, and as well as V-scale. V-scale is Virtual Railroading, and I am currently modeling the 8-18c style engine in a 3d program known as Gmax, and also in On30. The gmax model is for the game known as Auran Trainz Railroad Simulator 2010, and when the engine is finished, I hope to have it in the game, with the options of different pilot styles, different stack styles, as well as dome style, and coupler type. This site is very informational in what I am looking for, I just wish I could get ahold of the blue prints for the Eureka & Palisade #4.
My On30 railroad on the other hand is laking a 4-4-0, but is well equiped with a 2-6-0 swamper I bashed, and an ET&WNC 4-6-0, the pride of the small fleet. I am scratching an 8-18c 4-4-0 from a 2-8-0 frame, and 2-6-0 wheels, and other parts I've gatherd over the years. I would love to buy a MMI 4-4-0, but I don't have half a grand to get it.
I love, with a passion steam locomotives; especially from the late 19th and early 20th centruys.
If there's anything else I forgot to mention or something, I do appologize.
Rock On!
~Dusten~
