Hey, I had two questions regarding train modelling in Gmod. I'm real sorry to bother you with all these questions, I guess I've just never learned. 
They both involve the construction of the locomotive body. Firstly, when I see other people make custom locomotive bodies, the surface of the props are smooth and meshed together almost perfectly. Is there a specific addon for doing this, or is it all in the construction?
Secondly, I wanted to know if there was any specific technique for adding windows? I understand that there's probably a way to do it, I just haven't figured it out.
Again, I'm really sorry if I'm annoying you with these questions. I just wanted to get an opinion from an expert, such as yourself.
Thank you for your time.

Sorry for the late response here uhm.
For construction I use smart snap and the precision tool. Then when you texture the props the same it looks seamless.
For adding windows I usually just put an Sprops panel and use the PHX material on it, I don't usually do it to model pack engines because it's a pain.
Hope this helps!

Great gallery!
Check out www.larouchepac.com .
There's a bunch of economists and scientists promoting a world-wide transportation grid that will use magnetic levitated trains.
And President Trump wants America to join and lead this.
Machines rock!

Hey.
I know you don't do tutorials, but I'm just looking for some simple advice/help. You're a professional, so I think it's a good idea for me to learn from one of the best.
So, a few days ago, I built this thing: Vertical Boiler 0-4-0T
An outside frame(ish) 0-4-0T. The body was completely made from scratch, using SProps. But, during the construction, I hit a few bumps along the way, and I was hoping you could help me out, so that I know what to do for future builds. The biggest problems I ran into involved parenting and duplicating.
The problem with parenting, is that I don't seem to have that purple cylindrical wire gate that everyone uses for their builds. The only one I can find, is the small square one. For whatever reason, I can't switch between gates. Because of this, I had to parent the body to the base-plate. I know that this is incorrect, but I had no choice.
The problem with duplicating, is that when I parented everything, and welded the wheelbase, the duplicator sometimes wouldn't duplicate it correctly. It would only duplicate the base-plate and the wheelbase, or one of the pieces from the body. I don't know if this is a result of having no gate, but the fact still remains that it sometimes wouldn't duplicate everything on the model.
So, my two questions are as follows:
1. Is it possible to parent it correctly without a gate?
2. Is there a way to make certain that it will duplicate everything?
I know this may be asking a bit much, but I humbly ask, just to assist in further builds that I may do.

I really need to make a tutorial video explaining how to do this better because the old one is trash lel.
Anyway, I'll try my best to answer your questions.
1. Yes, in fact you don't really even need to use an gate anymore. The only disadvantage to parenting to a normal prop is you can't change color without unparenting it, but there's a "Paste without parenting" function in advdupe2. Also if you don't have the pink thingy you probably don't have wiremod installed.
2. Use advdupe2. Hold shift and right click and you should get a big green box. There's a slider in the Q menu to the right to make it bigger if need be, but you have to get everything you want to dupe in that box. Then just save it to a folder like you would a file on your normal computer.
I hope this helps!
