@Salvador_DS :
Yes, of course

Really appreciate you letting me use your model. I would also like to ask if I have permission to edit it if possible. The model is a little too "high poly" for L4D2. I try importing it into hammer and it crashes on the spot. lmao

@Salvador_DS
Hi, yes you can.
So long as you implied that I’ve gave you permission when you are crediting me and my contributors :)
Salvador_DS Nov 25, 2024 @ 8:16pm 
Hello, I was wondering if I could have permission to use this model for a L4D2 campaign I am making. I promise to give full credit to you and your friends for the excellent model you've made. If not I'll completely understand.

How come it's not there anymore?
james_ae86  [author] Nov 12, 2023 @ 3:32pm 
@ jacobejshoemaker
No
jacobejshoemaker Nov 12, 2023 @ 2:04pm 
Do you happen to have the polar express engine for download link?
SeanJAnimations Oct 2, 2023 @ 3:36pm 
I asked because when I click import. "Sequence" is grayed out like theres nothing there.
james_ae86  [author] Oct 2, 2023 @ 2:25am 
@ SeanJAnimations :
There are sequences in it.
Plz read FAQ part above.
SeanJAnimations Oct 1, 2023 @ 10:55pm 
Is this model supposed to have sequences by default? Or do I need to download them seperately?

@AmityFoxSFM:
The coaches are currently shelved, so they won’t be made.
AmityFoxSFM Jul 5, 2023 @ 4:27pm 
Quick Question, do the Polar Express coaches will look like from the movie or from "real-life" (like the Pullman Passenger cars.)

I never thought I’d see the day where The Polar Express would be added to SFM, thank you so much for doing this!

@qing emperor of China:
You can try scale the loco or change the angle slightly in different camera shots

@james_ae86:
Alright, well turns out uploading too many at the same time was the issue, so I split em' up into three packs and it worked! (I think)

So yeah, here's the link to them in case you want to check it out, I have all three both in a collection and linking to one another: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2787595388

Well anyway, thanks again for both the permission to upload these and helping me out a bit with uploading them, hope it wasn't too much trouble. Feel free to tell me what you or the others think of them if you feel like it, you don't have to of course. Hopefully these textures work just fine from subscribing to them on the workshop.
james_ae86  [author] Mar 31, 2022 @ 8:20pm 
@CamtheGamer :
I'm not really sure, or try only upload selected texture maps to Workshop.If that doesn't work, you can try upload on other webpage like SFM Lab or deviantARTs.
CamtheGamer Mar 31, 2022 @ 2:26pm 
@james_ae86:
Thanks, appreciate the permission. Though with that said I've been trying to upload the vtf files through the textures tab, but it keeps giving me a "Generic Failure" error after about 20% uploaded no matter what I tried, so I don't exactly know what the problem is. There's 23 vtfs in total for the reskins, so I'm not sure if there's some sort of limit and I have to split up the pack or if there's something else I need to do first.
james_ae86  [author] Mar 30, 2022 @ 11:34pm 
@CamtheGamer:
Yes you can upload these custom skins to Workshop. As for how, you can simply open SFM go to File > Community > Publish to Steam Workshop > …
CamtheGamer Mar 30, 2022 @ 4:35pm 
Hey, so I decided to make some TF2 themed skins for your Berkshire model to add some variety and make so it doesn't stick out as much having 1225 everywhere with the TF2 mercs. I was originally just going to use them for personal projects, but I was wondering if it would be okay if I were to upload them onto the workshop as a public resource, if that's alright with you of course.

(And I guess if it's not too much trouble, maybe some help or at least linking to a guide as to how I can upload them to the SFM workshop.)
Avatar Thanos Feb 13, 2022 @ 4:48am 
I can't wait to see how the coaches are gonna look, also could you make the Polar Express route as a map for sfm in the future
Sunseten Jan 10, 2022 @ 10:47pm 
Looking forward to the coaches, great work so far
Crazyghost141 Jan 10, 2022 @ 1:05am 
amazing any other trains you planning on making?
jacobejshoemaker Jan 7, 2022 @ 4:16pm 
THAT IS THE MOST REALISTIC WONDERFUL GREAT EXCELLENT WORK I HAVE EVER SEEN!:steamthumbsup::steamhappy:
Johnster Jan 2, 2022 @ 10:41am 
Very Nice Work! SFM doesnt have alot of American Locomotives on The Workshop, so its nice to see more of this stuff
cozmo Dec 27, 2021 @ 6:20pm 
very realistic and can you make an B.E.D.T 0-6-0ST porter/docksider?
Chuklenuts#TF2SP Dec 27, 2021 @ 2:24pm 
He has done it. Fantastic job you did here! Thank you.
Mr. Clay1983 Dec 23, 2021 @ 8:03pm 
I just saw this engine in person a few days ago, thank you so much for making this!!
james_ae86  [author] Dec 22, 2021 @ 7:07pm 
@se th. (from squid game) :

How comes there are no such sequences? My friends and I have already check the sequences and they look fine.
se th. (from squid game) Dec 22, 2021 @ 6:43pm 
my only suggestion about this model is maybe try adding a start up reverse sequence.
That's it. (not a huge big deal lol) Besides that wonderful model man!
james_ae86  [author] Dec 20, 2021 @ 6:30pm 
@dalek7261:
Don’t trust the preview in Select Sequence/Activity window. Just load the sequence you want on the model and it works fine.
If you really want to see the sequence preview, use the Model Viewer before you launch SFM.
specimen 6 Dec 20, 2021 @ 1:13pm 
@james_ae86 yes but why should that make a diffrence?
james_ae86  [author] Dec 20, 2021 @ 4:33am 
@dalek7261:
It works fine to me.
Did you just look at the Select Sequence/Activity window where you only preview the animation sequence?
james_ae86  [author] Dec 19, 2021 @ 6:31pm 
@dalek:
Ok, I will have a look later when I’m free.
specimen 6 Dec 19, 2021 @ 5:17pm 
@james_ae86 all of the sequences are the exact same like you took the speed medium and pasted it across speed slow, seep fast, run away, and start up sequences (the _reverse sequences are working as they should)
james_ae86  [author] Dec 19, 2021 @ 4:52pm 
@dalek7261:
How?
specimen 6 Dec 19, 2021 @ 10:54am 
Help sequences are broken
