Engines Wishlist for Jointed Rail.

Still, it's quite evident that UK diesels are in a desperate state, considering the Thomas community is making better models than what we have to represent the real beasts! :eek:
 
EMD SW1200

I know the EMD SW1200 has been suggested before, but to show interest has not been lost, I'll pass it by again.
Produced between 1954 and 1966 the SW1200 proved to be very popular both in the US and in Canada. The top five railroads to order new SW1200's from EMD were: MP @ 116, NP @ 59, MILW @ 48, PRR @ 35 and the SP @ 27.

NP 119 -177. All made it to the BN merger to become BN 170 - 228.

Others to make honorable mention. TRRA @ 25 units.

Indiana Southern Railroad EMD GP40

I would like to see an Indiana Southern Railroad EMD GP40. With ARN, Weathering, and a custom cab. I know it's probably far fetched, but one can wish right?

I actually saw one of those units down here in Alabama. Couldn't figure out what it was until I was basically right next to it, thought it might be SOO until I got close, then I instead wondered what it was doing in central Alabama.

I would see these run past my house every week pulling good ol' IPL coal hoppers to the power plant just up the road growing up.

Those pictures actually bring up a point that I'd like to inquire about for anyone perusing this thread. Between that 4037, 4051, 4043, and 6599, no two of those engines have the same type of horn, two have mailbox battery slots, and one has a gold trim instead of solid red. This very visual variety is something that generally dissuades us [Justin and I in particular] from wanting to do large number sets for individual assets. When it comes to large engine orders of around 50 or more we narrow it down to the most common details across the order / number range to provide as many numbers as possible for the asset. This variety is part of why you don't see us do more hodgepodge stuff [see: Wisconsin Central SW1500], as the units are all too varied with regards to little detail parts like that. With that in mind I'd like to ask what y'all prefer for these situations:

-One engine model with one type of horn, # specific details, etc. with ARN for the entire number series
-Individual locomotives modeled [i.e. you purchase 4037, 4051, and 4043 individually, or in a value pack, with all the # specific details modeled and textured on] with ARN where applicable
-Suggestions?

We try to nail these things down to the rivet whenever possible but a line generally has to be drawn somewhere unfortunately.

One engine model, with ARN would be good for me. As long as it is the gold and red Scheme and weathered. The horn can be changed in the config file, if I fell that it need to be changed. It all depends on what horn the engine comes with. I just posted the pictures as an example to what the Engines look like. Preferably for T:ANE.

This paint scheme would be Ideal for me. Thanks for the reply.

i think JR should start working on a HHP-8 because the only HHP-8 i know was connyxys and her site is down so if JR made a HHP-8 then JR would be even more famous for having THE ONLY HHP-8 AVAILABLE IN TRAINZ
