I'm sure it looks great, but I just can't see it. (and the link itself that can be accessed by 'quote' doesn't seem to work as well)

Thanks for the warning. That should be fine by now :)

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I have a feeling that this BDe 121 is rather oversized.
The dark tones of the overhead wires (and extremely straight line of the bottom one) don't look too good either.

for the catenary, I tried to reproduce the Swiss catenary which goes up and down between the pylons. After the train is maybe a bit big I admit it, it's probably because of the axles that I can't make and so I had to get them from another drawing like for the pantograph

the train in question irl

but if someone can help me to make metric axles for my trains, I'll gladly accept his help
it's also the first time I make a train^^

Am I right to assume, that the vehicle depicted is this one? (I mean type, not the particular specimen?

If so, then the available info says that the car (single) is 16,81m long.
Yours is over 20 meters long.

I know it sounds hard, but I suggest You rather try finding a blueprint, preferably one that has all the measurements on it, so You'd know if these 16,81m is total length or without buffers and the corridor between cars etc.

As for the wires and their appearance, please take into account, that they are 1-1,5cm thick, while 1 pixel in FD scale represents 4,5cm. Plus, these wires have attachments etc. that are missing on Your drawing.
(Most artists don't bother with drawing these wires - PomboCZ did it on occassion, but just the power, and rather as symbol, than depiction of the installation)

yes it's exactly the one, my worry is the axles, I make them too big if it's me who makes them and so my drawing will be disproportionate

Post subject:  Re: FD Trainbucket
Considering that this train is disproportionate by factor of 1.25, axles are least of your problems with this drawing.
