The Polar Express - Gamecube Video Game Models

Hello, there!
My name is Whitestarfoxline, and this is my first upload to the SFM Workshop!

What you see here are revamped models of The Polar Express from the Gamecube video game.

I took a lot off time to fix these models from the original version. Because the techniques THQ (the original developer of the Polar Express video game) used to make the models are questionable. I found a lot of missing faces and misplaced textures. And I was able to make the model much like the movie.

What I fixed or added:
- Added Nameplates to the Tender and Passenger coach.
- Added a functional bell for the Locomotive.
- Fixed missing faces in a lot of areas of all the models.
- Added meshes on the Coach Windows to make the light up affect better.
- Tender had a large wheelbase that is to big for train tracks in general, shrunk down to fit the track.
- Tender now has a Coal Mesh Body group, including the "Polar Express" name.
- Passenger Car's' Wheels and Stairs has a lot of missing polys, deleted them in exchange from the Observation Car's Wheels and Stairs.
- The Locomotive has Lionel Styled Driving Rods (Which are NOT Accurate.)

IMPORTANT: I made preset animations for the Locomotive, PLEASE USE THEM. (Also they are 51 Seconds long, each.)

Q and A

1:
Q: Will you port it to Garry's Mod? Can you make it drivable?
A: Even though I made Collision model meshes for the models before they were rigged.
It's very likely to be a STATIC PROP only. And also no I wont make them drivable, because I don't know how to.

2:
Q: Why are the driving rods not accurate?
A: The driving rods are not meant to be 100% Accurate, it's because I modeled them after the Lionel G-Scale Train Set's driving Rods.

3:
Q: Why is there nothing in the Locomotive Cab?
A: Never came with the model lol, not even when I saw the game play of the video game.

4:
Q: Will you update the model later on?
A: Unsure, I am too tired to make anymore changes.
