What is YN3b? There is already a YN3 one.

How about a two, or three man crew with high-visibility jackets

A YN3b is this:

The only difference is the logo and the lightning bolt under the cab number.

GP38's don't have the L-Bolts, that an AC Motor identifier.

For example, ES44AC-H (ES44AH)

EMD GP15-1

Even then, there is still one more variety, AC6000CW's...

How about some old school stuff?

 

[simulatortrain]

P30CHs have been on my list for some time now.

 

[MeowRailroad]

I know a set of engines I would like to have, The General, the Yonah, the Shorter, and The Texas. The engines from "The Great Locomotive Chase!"

 

[jregner1955]

The General, The Texas and The Yonah are available on the DSL allready

. . . The General, the Yonah, the Shorter, and The Texas. . . .

tbryson2 has made the General, Yonah and Texas, all of which are on the Download Station. There are TS12 and TS2004 versions of each locomotive. You can also find the General on Trainz Pro Routes. I don't know if the Texas or the Yonah is on Trainz Pro Routes or not. The General is also available in its 'Museum' paint scheme and its 'Civil War' paint scheme. I have never heard of the 'Shorter' locomotive before also.

SD40s, a la Espee...
do them the same as the GP35s you have done.

The Shorter was the second engine used to chase down the General. A nice route to have would be "The Great Locomotive Chase!"

The books/articles I've read on the subject name the 2nd locomotive as "Wlliam R. Smith." There was another locomotive that ran behind the "Texas" in pursuit of the General that's rarely mentioned that was named "Catoosa," but I can't remember hearing about a locomotive called "Shorter" being involved in the chase. But maybe I've missed something about this locomotive(?)

The list of engines used to chase the General, according to The Tennessee National Railway Museum, is "Yonah", "Shorter" and "William R. Smith", then "Texas" and "Catoosa". They were all involved in chasing the "General". Some didn't help as long as the others. The one's in my first list were the ones that the "General's" engineer commandeered to retrieve his engine. The "Texas" was an experimental 2-6-0 tender engine by Baldwin during the 1800's. A first attempt at burning coal, instead of wood. He's not usually shone in proper form.

Were is this Tennessee National Railway Museum?

The Texas survives at the Cyclorama in Atlanta. According to steamlocomotive.com, the Texas was built as a 4-4-0 by Danforth, Cooke and Company, not a 2-6-0 and not built by Baldwin. I also did not find any evidence of it originally burning coal.
