YEEEE_HAAAAA! WHOOP, WHOOP, WHOOP, WHOOP. :clap:

Ahem,

I mean,
Thank you very much for this consideration.
As for when, I can wait (for a little while.) But not too long, I hope.

Wasn't there a big steam turbine that the C&O had? Or was it the PRR, I remember reading something about a big coal turbine 'twas named 'John Henry' after the steel-drivin' hero of folklore, John Henry. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q...978A19B6115A710DAE977AD86F06E&selectedIndex=0 This is one link to a picture of a N&W steam turbine. Link to a webpage for a more thorough description: http://www.steamlocomotive.com/turbine/

Norfolk & Western's turbine was named 'John Henry'.
C&O had three turbines, excatly like each other, and were intended to pull a new passenger train, The Chessie. The train was to featured three (or four) dome cars. Alas, the turbines were not successful, and the train never came to be, and the cars were sold to other railroads.
The Pennsylvania Railroad had the S-2, a 6-8-6 steam turbine. Instead of using electricity to power the wheels, the turbines were directly connected to the drive wheels, eliminating the problem of 'fly ash' getting into the electrical systems and causing serious damage to them. Almost all other turbines use electricity to power traction motors mounted on the axles (at least the ones in the U.S.).

That's what I thought I was trying to mention. It's a cool-looking locomotive. Big, imposing and looks like one you don't mess around with.

Actually, the N&W named their experimental steam turbine locomotive "Jawn Henry" (emphasis added), although it was indeed named after "John Henry", the legendary* steel-drivin' man.

* Although I used the word "legendary", a W.Va. University professor gathered a great deal of evidence in the early-1900s that supported the concept that John Henry was a real person that actually worked on the construction of the Big Bend Tunnel in southern W.Va. during the 1870s.

I would like to see the ES44HAC on JointedRail.

 

[pdkoester]

Each one of these would be cool. Especially, the second unit with a barrel headlight. I know something is suppose to be coming, but just thought I would add them to this thread, see what everyone else thinks. Well, what do you guys think?

One 1st generation diesel-electric I'd like to see available for Trainz would be the Fairbanks Morse H16-44 "Baby" Trainmaster. About 20 North American railroads used H16-44s; the Virginian and Canadian Pacific each owned 40 of them. The H16-44 was more-or-less the FM version of EMD's venerable GP-7/9.

 

[pdkoester]

BQ23-7 updated to TS12 specs, and updated for more realism, the ones on DLS are sad when posed next to other JointedRail things I have...

 

[Bluewater]

Maybe drivable MOW trucks?

 

[simulatortrain]

I'd love to see some FM's too!

 

[jacksonbarno]

If any FM's, do FM Erie Builts!

 

[jordon412]

Tume made some Milwaukee Road Erie-Builts, while there's some Milwaukee Road Erie-Builts available on TrainzProRoutes in Union Pacific colors, after the Milwaukee Road took over handling Union Pacific's City of . . . series of passenger trains from the Chicago & Northwestern. I think Whitepass made those.

 

[redfox2012]

Union Pacific ex SP EMD GP40-2's with the nose light, ditchlights, and all of the new features from JR would be a very fun unit to operate on locals or in yards. I'd love to use one on MWG.

 

[redfox2012]

Hate to double post but now that I just thought of it, how much would it cost to have this model made approximately?

 

[NeoPyro]

How about a Milwaukee Road EP-2 "Bi-Polar"? I just love historical stuff like this.

I've been meaning to re-tool the SP GP40's recently, it might be done up sooner than later either way

 

[Kris94]

The post passenger service era version of the Espee GP40P-2. This was when they removed the cab level lights and the red beacon strobe light on the nose of the locomotive and left the hood lights intact and added ditchlights just before the 1996 merger.

SD90mach
phase 2

or phase 1

Painted like this with gyra and emergency light lettered for Utah Belt with 6000hp

 

[qassaquyangli]

I know you guys said these might be made before (I think), but I'll post them again.
ARR SD70MAC's

Seen five before. Man, that horn was loud!
