This train created with 3ds max 8 by edit 2-8-2 mikado added 1 front small wheel, 1 back small wheel, 4 big wheels and 1 piston so become 4-8-8-4 Bigboy 4002
In rar below provide 4-8-8-4 bigboy in NIF format, but with have no skin instance (that mean this model still not have animation yet), I just want to know if blender can create animation for this model, as the information this model have 31 bones node (skin instance) that are : 18 bones node from 2-8-2 Mikado Nif and added 13 new bones node as following

1. b_big_wheel_05
2. b_big_wheel_06

Sound good, but my question what do you do to repaint them because I didn't include the textures in the rar, did you have ability with 3d software?, if not I guess that is difficult work to repaint. as information 4-8-8-4 Bigboy use 2_8_2_mikado_diff.dds as basic texture then resize this texture and added some pictures to become 4-8-8-4_Bigboy_DIFF.dds
