Pere Marquette 1225

After all these years, we've finally got an American-style steam locomotive up on workshop!
Pere Marquette 1225 is a class "N-1" 2-8-4 "Berkshire" type steam loco built in October 1941 for the Pere Marquette Railway by Lima Locomotive Works in Lima, Ohio. No. 1225 is one of two surviving PM 2-8-4 locomotives, the other being 1223, which is on display at the Tri-Cities Historical Society near the ex-Grand Trunk Western coaling tower in Grand Haven, Michigan.

About this model:
Some of you may find this model is simpler and less detailed than my previous train models, this is because during the making of it there were a few issues which delay the project, therefore it was a bit of a rush since it was near Christmas season. So I apologies for those who are expecting higher quality models!
The only changeable body group on the engine is the main feature between The Polar Express and a Pere Marquette 1225 which can be found in front of its smokebox and whistle. As well as skins which are based on the animated film, the real-life 1225, and Lionel Trains.
Like my previous train models, the animation sequences on the wheels are all the same.

Changeable/(Unhideable) body groups:
- Polar__1225_features
-coal (tender model)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Skins:
- Polar Express
-1225
-Lionel

FAQ:

- Can you make (whatever trains in your mind) next? / Which train will you going to make next?
There is a list of trains and other vehicles in mind that I may make in the future. So I can't announce this for now!

- Where are the Polar Express coaches?
Originally the coaches will go with the loco, but since there already a gamecube version of the coaches, this project is shelved.

- Can you please make it drivable ?
Sorry, I don't know how to make him a drivable vehicle!

(Future) Updates/Fixes:
I would consider this model a beta for now, since there are many things to be refined including textures. So it?s yet to be confirmed.
