DESCRIPTION

A vintage German Railway tail lamp (End-of-Train Device, in german: Zugschlusslaterne) used on the last car to mark the end of a train. Its red signal ensured visibility at night and in poor weather; carrying handle, and a bracket for quick mounting on the buffer beam. Earlier versions ran on kerosene, later ones on electric bulbs, but the robust, utilitarian form stayed consistent for decades. This model captures that iconic design for scenes set on German railways, depots, and heritage operations.

Support
If you encounter any errors with the model, missing files, import issues, shading artifacts, or UV glitches—I’m here to help. Send me a message with your problem and I’ll help you.

Additional Services
Need this model tailored to your project? I offer customization services, anything from alternate materials and decals to extra props, LODs, and scene setup. I can also adjust topology, UVs, and texture resolution, or export to your preferred formats and engine presets. If you have a specific era, mounting style, or lighting variant in mind, I’m happy to build it. Just send me a message with your requirements and I’ll get back to you with options and a quote.

Important Notice Before Purchase
This model has been created specifically in Maya and is fully optimized for use within Maya. Using it in other 3D applications such as Blender, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, or similar software may lead to limitations, especially with fur, rigging, constraints, and animations. Exporting to other programs is possible – for example, by baking animations or using alternative methods – but this is done entirely at your own risk. Unfortunately, I cannot provide full technical support for adapting or using the model outside of Maya.

Geometry
No N-gons
N-gons are polygons with five or more sides which might cause issues in certain processes like rendering or animation. Learn more
No faceted geometry
Faceted geometry uses flat surfaces without smoothing, which can look unrealistic on curves.
Learn more
Manifold geometry
Manifold geometry ensures all surfaces are properly connected, avoiding issues like edges shared by more than two faces.

Textures & material
PBR textures
PBR textures simulate how light interacts with materials, making the model look realistic under different lighting.
Required PBR textures:
- Base Color
- Roughness
- Metalness
- Normal
Learn more
No embed textures
Embedded textures are stored inside the model file, increasing its size and sometimes causing compatibility issues.
Learn more
Square textures
Texture aspect ratio is the width-to-height ratio of a texture. Expected texture aspect ratio: 1:1
Learn more
Power of 2 texture sizes
Textures with dimensions in power of two (e.g. 512x512px, 1024x1024px) are used to optimize performance and memory usage.
Learn more
Assigned materials
Materials are applied to the 3D model to allow visualize a model's surface properties and appearance.
Learn more
UVs & naming
No UV overlaps
UVs overlap when multiple points on the 3D model's surface are mapped to the same point on the UV island causing texture stretching.
Learn more
UV unwrapped model
A UV unwrapped model means its 3D surface is flattened into 2D space, allowing textures to be applied accurately.
