Go look on JR website and you will see it's not there anymore

That rarely means anything in the grand scheme of things.

Honestly a good addition would be the C424/C425. The ones we have are ancient, and while in recent years Trainz-Forge and Whitepass have moved us in the direction of ALCO road power, there's still a lack of ALCO types. Also the C415 - very interesting, and unique machines.

It would be nice if JR made EMD SD9043 Mac Undec locomotives. That would be so awesome.

 

[Eboy87]

C425s would be neat and a welcome addition for the handful of us BC Rail folks.

If JR revisits SD40s and 45s, it would be great to see some Rio Grande 45s, SP 45s (especially with the teasers of the B40s), and Missouri Pacific SD40s.

Here's one Idea I have.

 

[DARTrider]

I'm sure hundreds have asked, but EMD Double Diesels would be one hell of a release!

Or the MAC-H ones.

 

[DARTrider]

Or the MAC-H ones.

MAC-Hs are impossible due to not having prototype-accurate sounds readily available (all SD90MAC-Hs are scrapped, meaning no 265H engine sounds).

Justin has said several times that if you want new models then doing the leg work of finding plans and plenty of photos including detail shots goes a long way towards getting a creator interested in the project.

Or rebuilt, if I remember well.

Au contraire on the sounds

 

[pdkoester]

Au contraire on the sounds

I think that sounds more like a Baldwin/ALCO/GE engine to me, but I don't know.

 

[ricmor]

The 265 was a 4-stroke engine, hence why it sounds like that in the video

 

[DARTrider]

I believe Audie already confirmed that video is not suitable for use for their enginesounds. They also prefer to go out and record it themselves.

Oh, so that makes sense. Are the Baldwin/ALCO/GE engines all four stroke, too?

Yes, they are

I remember hearing one of these idling away outside my old apartment in NorCal. Seeing it was an EMD I thought to myself, what's wrong with that locomotive. That's not what an EMD should sound like. Hearing the throttling up in that video though reminds me of the old GE U series with that chug.

NorCal, like Bay Area? Small world.

Yes, Bay Area. I had an apartment in Emeryville next to the SP CalP line.
