Solidworks: The General

Published:

Description

One thing I've picked up in the past years since I've been on here is CAD modeling, and this is my crack at the main locomotive that appeared in Buster Keaton's 1927 film, "The General". I based this off a schematic of an 1881 Baldwin American type, which is what facts would suggest that Keaton's portrayal of General was. The coloring on this was a complete shot in the dark, being that we don't know what color Keaton's General was. The tender was sort of a guess aswell, being that the schematic I used only had one side view of the locomotive on its own.

EDIT:changed the coloring of the cylinders and got a higher quality image

EDIT: With the discovery of a schematic with front views and the tender, I changed a ton with this
