JointedRail stuff [screenshots/renders]

That is in game. After that post was made, I frantically went back and changed some colors as well as some small detail fixes as needed. Ill see bout that arn though. I'm actually surprised at how well it went. The only super wrong with the skin (excluding the fact its not exactly the right model but I work with what I have) was some coloring and the ARN. As this isnt my thread, feel free to PM me more about it if youd like.
 
Alex, Beautiful job on the MILW GP9, thank you. I keep hoping some day we will see some Northern Pacific GP9's. Thank you for all you great work.

Regards,
 
Not sure. From my understanding, UP changes names sometimes. I know 3 versions of the SD70ACe. Theres the Cab light, ISO CAB, and the SD70m-2. Not sure about the AH though.

How are they different from ACe's?
I'm sure that you've heard of the ES44AH? Well the SD70AH really uses the same style of doings that the ES44AH does to get the job done. As already mentioned they are heavier than the normal ACe's, but so far from an exterior stand-point, I don't see any differences.

SD70AH's arrived mid-2014 timeframe and began working then. If I recall correctly, after the success of the first 3, another 100 were ordered and are called SD70AH's because of the technology and computer systems. They are not the usual SD70ACe's, and UP does not have SD70M-2's, which are the ACe's DC traction counterpart. SD70M's yes, SD70M-2's no. Cab Light SD70ACe's are the first ACe's to arrive. Do not forget that the cab light SD70ACe's also have ISO Cabs because they had to be fitted with them. FRA made RR's send them back to EMD to be fitted with the ISO cabs thanks to the fact the originals vibrated so bad that engineers hated them and they didn't meet certain rules. The newer ACe's all have head lights on the nose and were fitted standard with ISO cabs to keep bad things from happening.

CSX also has ES44AH's, which, like Union Pacific's ES44AH's, are ballasted to make them heavier. They are used mainly for coal trains. Worth noting, Norfolk Southern's first ES44AC's are exact clones of CSX's ES44AH, being ballasted like CSX's.
 
Nice to see those projects being brought back from the dead there slave diver


The project was never really dead. It was put on hold for a while because of time limitations due to work and other Trainz related projects. That's part of the reason I've been working on it for so many years.



That looks a lot like this guy... Picture removed

Is it really a Jointed Rail item? Just wondering...

CCT 25,26, TS 735 and SN 142-146 were all ordered by the WP at the same time for those respective railroads. To my knowledge the only ones of those that didn't get the Zephyr scheme were the 2 CCT units. As for the safety striping on the end plate I have a picture of SN 146 with it on it. I also have other pics of the 146 without so a lot of it depends on when in it's career it was. I have to do some more research to see how much and when the paint scheams changed for my skins.

I think slave-driver is part of USLW which, from my understanding, is owned by JR.

Chadd04 is correct. I'm part of USLW which is owned by JointedRail so in a round about way you could say I'm part of JR, just not directly. As things are, when I release my 44 tonner it will be on JR. Any freeware stuff most likely will be USLW but things could change.
