Cowans Sheldon Crane
Cowans Sheldon Crane
Lifts things menacingly
This mod literally broke me mentally
So, I made a crane, because Kyle made me do it (thank you, Kyle!)
This is based on the prototype Cowans Sheldon 30T Crane. I have tried to be as accurate as possible, however, there were very few official drawings or photos of certain parts of the model, so educated guesses were used.
Features
Fully animated rail vehicle. Crane moves at station stops, depending on the platform side.
Fully animated rail asset, animations are semi-randomized.
Recolourable (rail vehicle)
Dirt and rust effects (rail vehicle)
Things I wanted to add but were not possible/feasible
The ability to load cargo via the crane.
Smoke comes out of the chimney, but only when it animates.
Chuff sound effect when it animates
Additional texture details I did not have the skills to pull off
If anyone wants to try adding these things, go ahead. Repaints are welcome too.
Speaking of paint, the livery for the crane is YELLOW. That is all.
