Howdy,

The problem with the locomotive is that you have the axis for the Main object in the incorrect position. There should be a way to select the Main object and move the axis for the object without moving the actual object. For the Main object you should have the axis set at 0,0,0 and the actual model should be in its correct 'prototypical' position...

This is kwk100, and I'm 10-10 on the side

Great Job! Your first unit is looking better than mine:) When I get home tomorrow I will finish off my standard cab SD60 and give it a good looking KCS paintjob.
