-Before you do anything else, you're advised to firstly create a bodyshell. You will need a reference image if you're creating a real-world train. In this case, I am going to use this image.
+=== Basic Controls ===
+| ''V'' | Move the cube around. |
+| ''S'' | Resize the cube. |
+| ''R'' | Rotate the cube. |
+| ''P'' | Change the pivot of the cube. |

+After you've set the size and position of the reference image, you can start and model the body frame following the reference image.
