Hey Ryan, do you plan on releasing that MP36? I can already see it in the Sounder colors...

 

[pdkoester]

Yea, too bad these are only in Run8.

That looks like Trainz, to me.

 

[Saturnr]

Maybe they meant they would love to drive one in Trainz, or have on on their route in Trainz. All beautiful engines. They would look nice as AI on the very small section of Metra track in one of my routes I know(heritage line parallels it for a short while).

I think you missed the joke there.

How about an SD60E(http://www.nsdash9.com/rosters/6900.html) , veterans unit SD60E #6920, first responders unit #9-1-1, and GORAIL unit (a grass-roots group campaigning for more companies to transport their goods by rail instead of road) #6963 (http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=473389&nseq=59). Also, maybe the Dash 8.5-40CW's (http://www.nsdash9.com/rosters/8500.html)? Of course, there would have to be several different versions, at least two different meshes. #8505 is equipped with six 480-volt power receptacles on the rear for HEP/stand-by use, and a standard GE wide nose cab. #8504 and #8501 are equipped only with a NS-designed "RLS" wide nose and cab. And also AC44C6M's #4000 and #4001 (http://www.nsdash9.com/rosters/4000.html)? They're Dash 9-40C's rebuilt into basically AC4400CW's, complete with GE-design cab. I wouldn't be surprised if they could easily be mistaken as standard AC4400CW's.

I know about the SD60E, but what about the D8.5-40CW or the AC44C6M? How about the GP33ECO's (http://www.nsdash9.com/rosters/4700.html)? Rebuilt GP50's with a 12N-710G3B-T3 ECO engine and flared radiators. They are also supposed to work with RP-M4C road slugs with matching paint schemes, #645, 648-653 and 658 (http://www.nsdash9.com/rosters/610.html).

For all of you asking about different locomotives to be made, check THIS out. Has most every thing any one has asked for on that site. And for free too.

LOL, best thing I've seen in a long time!:hehe:

You never know what Petrama25 and myself, let alone The Erecting Hall have cooking.

 

[MeowRailroad]

Is that a GP33ECO?

 

[Blackout16]

could it be a GP40x?

 

[jordon412]

could it be a GP40x?

No, it's going to be a GP33ECO. Though it has flared radiators like the GP40X, it has Norfolk Southern's signature 'Admiral' Cab, which the GP33ECO rebuilds feature.

This is by far yet completed (lots of detail to do) but it will be worth the time used in
By now 98K and going up, but as TrainzWiki states, a standard loco up to 120K is common for trainz

Trainz Wiki

Modeling Locomotives

The sum of the locomotive exterior including all bogies, hoses and fans etc may be up to 120k polygons with four LOD levels provided. It's ideal to aim for a reduction of up to half at each level, though this may not always be possible.

I haven't made any content so correct me if I am wrong, but I think you could save a lot of polys if you painted on the hood doors when you texture the engine, as opposed to modeling them. Nice work so far though, it's a very cool engine.

 

[Saturnr]

Not up to me, but I think painted doors makes diesels looks a little bit lower quality. Just my opinion.

 

[inprr]

i know 2 locomotives that have yet to enter trainz- the sdp40 and the sd60mac. i would pay someone to build them

 

[logybear]

Dude Jointedrail released SD60Mac's a while ago. I'm currently am using one of them.

Jointedrails are SD60M's. So you are probably not using an JR SD60MAC right now. duh

SD60MAC : (AC Traction Motors, only 4 were built + tested by BN - 9501-9504)

That's not recommended for T:ANE, from what I see, the shadows will really make textured detail look flat.
