Gas Turbine Help

I just use CMP to download UP GE 8500HP Gas Turbine A-Unit,<kuid:76096:2> and UP GE 8500HP Gas Turbine B-Unit,<kuid:76096:3> into TS2009 and they commit without errors. Also placed them in Surveyor and ran them in Driver, no problems. Does CMP show any errors or missing dependencies?

Trying to download this was my first and last attempt to get something off the DLS after it went commercial.
I failed.
This model by Cloakedghost275 is excellent, but I'd love to see it reskinned to its natural filthy unkempt colour scheme. From what I've read in the two books and video I have on this locomotive, they were never given time out for a scrub up. They were always filthy, not at all like CloakedGhosts pristine presentation, which in my book is absolutely fantastic! I also have over a hundred photos to prove my point.
If anyone who has successfully downloaded this beast and put it through a grimy reskin, I'd love you forever if you could send me a copy.
CloakedGhost used to charge five lousy dollars for this creation, but obviously it wasn't profitable. He eventually uploaded it to the DLS for nix. I'll send you $20 tomorrow my friend if you can just make it look as though it's done a few days hard work like the one in the above photo!

It works in 06, and has a nice horn, bell, and enginesound...although I wish it were louder, as the prototypes were absolutely deafening, and oftentimes emitted a fireball post ignition when started improperly. I believe they ran on natural gas ?

There were Natural Gas fired locos I think, as were there atomised coal burners. The latter suffered serious pitting in the fan blades and were withdrawn very quickly. The ones in the photo ran on Bunker C, which is a molten tar like oil commonly used by ships at sea.
Bunker C must be pre-heated to become viscous, so the fuelling facilities required heaters to make the oil flow into the tenders which were also heated. During yard duties, the locomotive ran from a diesel engine located in the A unit. As with ships at sea, shutting down the turbine was a complex business. if it shut down while running, the whole fuel assembly had to be pulled apart and cleaned. Normally, they shut down the Bunker C injectors by running diesel through them first. This took time and created quite a smoke cloud.
In the time of the Turbines, Bunker C was dirt cheap, but as the cost increased, turbines gave way to Diesel Electric which was much cheaper and easier to maintain.
These are my favourite locomotive.

The video is called Union Pacific Turbines of the Wasath
I purchased my copy from Pentrex
The Books were Turbines Westward
and Big Blow (Limited edition numbered copies now out of print, of which I have one)
