Still according to Wikipedia it was in service for 20 months and racked up just under 10,000 miles. Not really a success but an interesting experiment. (and it looks cool; big, ugly, armor yellow what's not to like?)

Union Pacific ver2
ALCO PA

ALCO PA-PB
Southern Pacific
Union Pacific
Sante Fe
It would be great if you could send them to JohnWhelan (although I'm not sure he knew what he was getting into).
Send him a PM and see what he says and thanks for the offer. Community at work!
It might be useful to have a descriptive text describing what is in each zip. I wouldn't recognise any of them as I'm more into pregrouping UK assets.
Thanks John

I can't download the Turbines from JATWS.ORG, it keeps saying "Failed - Server Problem" although it downloaded the SW-9s just fine.
NVM, it's finally going through.

Thanks so much John! I didn't see the ANL UP 80 Coal Turbine.zip file up there, did you receive it?

Nice those turbines... but it's not working a full 100%
Did you noticed:
Besides the problem with the engine specs.
(they speed up slower than an old Citroën 2cv4, the locs even stop in corners, too much friction)
None of the wheels of the turbine pack turn like they should.
Some wheels turn even when the train does not move at all and that same wheels turn only at one speed.
Some wheels turn backwards.
Some wheels turn way too slow.
Like mister anl said: it comes like it is, no complaints.
But maybe it was better to fix the wheels before the download.

I'm happy to include a text file with suggested changes with the .zip, I would be reluctant to modify the content and I think Norm shares my reluctance as well.

I think I have all the files I've been sent on the web site now.
Links removed as per ANL's request
Let me know if there are any more to add.

^Thanks John. The AF-15 and AF-16 (ALCO FA-1 and FA-2) are my favorite Pennsy ALCO's, now I get to have them in TRS, since I never had them when they were hosted by ANL on RRMods.com.
