I was inspired to create this model from a drawing set in the June 1993 Railroad Model Craftsman. The paper drawings were scanned at high resolution, then linked into AutoCAD, which was used to transfer information to Autodesk Inventor. The resulting model was imported into 3ds Max for material application, lighting, and animation. The graphics were created with Adobe Photoshop. The video was rendered from 3ds Max using Solidangle's Arnold rendering engine, and edited in Adobe Premiere.
