NYC Mercury Train with Railroad
The Mercury was New York Central's answer to the question of what a train should look like in the age of streamlining: a locomotive shrouded in a single sweeping form, lit along the running gear so the wheels showed at night, and finished like a piece of industrial sculpture. The model reproduces that shape along with the track it runs on - rails, ties, ballast and the fittings that hold them together.
It is a large asset at 6,471,889 polygons and 6,585,815 vertices in quads and tris with non-overlapping UVs, and it is meant to be used that way. At that density the rivet lines, the louvres and the handrails survive a close camera, and the railroad section can be repeated to build as much track as a shot needs.
Priced at $189 and built to CheckMate specification, it suits period film and television, museum and exhibition work, art deco visualization, and rail history projects where the locomotive has to look like the machine people queued to see in 1936.
