colorado71's p&le berks?

[josephbarrera81]

a few years ago, some members of a trainz discord server i am in were able to acquire p&le berkshires directly from colorado71's website. from what ive gathered, these engines were available to purchase for a limited time. i vaguely remember getting access to the product page but unable to buy the engines, but it could be my false memories. digging further, my research into these addons has led me nowhere, as there is pretty much no information aside from pictures provides by the aforementioned members, and a video:

what i am asking for is as much information as possible. sorry if this question has been answered before, its been a while since ive been on the fourms but from what i see the others threads relating to colorado71's content do not correlate with mine. anyhow, any and all information helps, especially where to purchase.
cheers

Thread 'Where to get Colorado71 content?'

Nov 4, 2023

Hopefully I'm not asking a redundant question, but where can I find Colorado71's content? I tried to look up his site but the site hits me with an error screen, and I can't seem to get past it. Since all of his content was locked behind a login wall, the Internet Archive isn't much help. Any ideas?

Running a website can be expensive. I donated $10 to him once and he told me that was the first donation he had ever gotten. And selling payware is a nightmare, one person buys it and then gives it away for free. If his content includes a email address, you could contact him directly.

Radu closed down his site and moved all his stuff to the DLS. I'll contact him and ask him to check in. Done...email sent.

thank you both for your answers! it seems that the p&le berks were not uploaded to the dls, however could possibly be an search error on my part. ill take a look at the c&o texas i have and see if his email is in the files, and i will soon continue from there.

Yes, only my freeware content was uploaded to DLS as build 3.5. My old website and the build 2.0 content once available on it is long gone.

These shots are really impressive! Colorado71 always nails the blend of historical accuracy and visual detail. It’s great to see the P&LE Berks getting attention.
If anyone’s hunting for more info, there’s a helpful thread titled Where to get Colorado71 content? where users discuss locating his legacy builds after his old site went down. Might be worth a look if you’re tracking down dependencies or finding more of his work.
Looking forward to seeing these in action alongside some classic rolling stock thanks for sharing!

thank you for your answer. i am curious though, do you ever distribute your 2.0 content? it still confuses me how the players i mentioned got their hands on it, presuming the p&le engines were 2.0 content.
and thank you john. i did see some models that looked interesting, ill take a more in-depth look on the dls

Those objects were once available at colorado71.webs.com. I don't know if the links are still active on the wayback machine:
