still busy with CAD drawing this gothic steam engine for a cross section of the Mississippi
I finished the main frame and a part called the condenser. I have no idea how this goes together or how it works. This type of engine was used in Europe but not in north America so getting information is difficult. I do know it goes in the blue area and that's about it for now.
I think I might of bit off more than I can chew with doing a 3D model of the engine. I can draw it but it would be a struggle doing the 3D model and even harder trying to figure out how it goes together.
my thought is to do all the CAD drawings then do the pieces and parts as 3D models and try to fit it all together.
here is the main drawing of the condenser
and here is a group of closeup images of the parts
