Hof's Locomotive Industries Version 1.1

[Hofugir]

Hello and welcome to this glorious thread that in the future will contain more than one train and other vehicles too hopefully!

Right now what you will get is a FP7-503 train modeled and textured by me for KSP usage.(Why there is no wheels and other train stuff you normally see is because i want it to be customizable)

Here are 2 pictures to satisfy you.

UPDATE: Added 2 small and handy parts that i call DSEK(Deep Space Exploration Kit) that i will hopefully expand upon, not alot of updates on better train model and more for some while since im pretty busy

(The 1.25m connector you see on the back is not included since im having issues with it.

RENDER of the train.^

One possible configuration of it^

It is one part containing fuel and crew. Comes attached with prime Hoffian steel. Currently no IVA since im working on that one.

ENJOY!

Hmm, well when the guy making the railroad mod gets it into a release state I look forward to your work being the basis of a KSP Railroad rolling stock....

Nice job there! Is there anyway you can make an SD70ACe in the Union Pacific livery (somewhat)? Kind of like this: http://www.trainweather.com/HeritagePhotoOpSLC063007-8444-9R.jpg

(Yes, and if it was numbered 8444 it would be awesome )

Quick, someone make a floating base with supersonic speeds so we can make a bullet train!

I'm not on my main computer right now, I'll have interesting things tonight.

[Hofugir]

mythbusters844: Oh that looks interesting, will try my best at it tommorrow.

[Tw1]

Oh wow! This will be awesome when used with my WIP railway mod! Looks roughly the right with to fit on the bogie too (It's wide track, they are 3.84M wide), but I might have to add a special piece so bogies can properly swivel..

Edit: My post count has reached the Eighties! A decade that would be interesting to check out if time travel is ever invented.

My train is 3.5 wide i think so it might be possible.

Why don't you cut up the loco into smaller modular parts like, cockpit, engine, fuel tank, etc similar to c7/b9 plane parts, then we can combine it with other parts as well. Not to mention there will be more explosions =)

[wasmic]

Best use for this train: Send it to Duna. No, wait, it would just disappear amongst all the red. New best use for this train: Slab a balloon from HooliganLabs on it and send it to Jool!

I dont want too, that is a single train section and with how really bad connections my connection nodes have its better for it to be 1 part so far.

haha.. what an oddly specific request... especially for KSP. I think your best shot may be to learn to model.

Do you mind if I ask what the significance of this UP SD70ACe 8444 is to you?

I have an HO scale model of it from Athearn. As for the 844 in my name, google it

Is there any chance you can also make some passenger cars? That might seem like a bit too much though.

[Railgunner2160]

The 844, the only US Steam locomotive to have been NEVER retired from service, many steam locomotives continue on various heritage lines but most of those have been saved from the scrap yards. The 844 has been in constant service with the Union Pacific since it was built, it was never at any point attempted to be scrapped or retired from the fleet!!!

That is a huge distinction!!!

[Hofugir]

okay dont de-RAIL the topic now guys. I will make more trains, cars and passenger carts etc if this get alot of attention otherwise maybe 2 trains more and some train carts.

[T-Pilot395]

If you can make some sort of part that can act like decoupler pieces I would love it.

I imagine it's a simple structure that had a decoupler node on it such that once you detach the other end it becomes a coupling that acts like the crude strut things I see people use.

[MoffKalast]

Great, I've been waiting for something like this to come by for ages. Any plans on making passanger cars? Then we could make an enitre train

[Montieth]

Any chances of a monorail?

Well, sir, there's nothing on Kearth Like a genuine, bona fide Electrified, six-car monorail What'd I say? Monorail What's it called? Monorail That's right! Monorail!

Nah, make the actual #8444 steamer that you've got it in your avatar. She's a beauty

[Commissioner Tadpole]

Sorry for necro, but hoo boy, those are surely going to be used for my rovers. Especially the yellow one.

[Pigbear]

is that a yellow submarine?
