Request: Union Pacific Big Boy 4014

Recently on May 8th the Union Pacific got Big Boy 4014 to Cheyenne. I would love it if someone create an accurate model of the Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 with the correct Engine Specs to go alone with it. I've seen a reskin of the 4006 that is the default Big Boy on Trainz 12 but I don't think it is available anywhere. Anyone want to do this just for the hell of it.
 
Creating an accurate model doesn't just happen. Planning, locating photographs, engineering drawings, sound recordings and so forth. Creation takes even longer and requires skill sets that take time to learn and perfect.

My point, projects such as this don't just happen 'For the hell of it'. Dedication, time and resources are required.

Well alright, but I was hoping for a model of 4014 since it is going to be restored to operating condition by the Union Pacific Railroad.

I got the Sherman Hill route from TrainZItalia International but I haven't seen this version of the Big Boy on the site. I mainly want Big Boy 4014 so I can have it run off the Sherman Hill Route along with 4006, 3985, and 844. That's why I am asking for the 4014.

Reskinning will be slightly complicated as this is a built in item so the .texture files will need to be converted to .tga files before you can get to work on them in PSP. The file that needs to be adjusted is bb_main01.texture, but it is a relatively simple matter of changing the number, though not sure what the font is for the numerals on this loco.

I wish you luck with this, once you start re-skinning, you won't look back!

It's been awhile since I've been on this thread but I have some news. Union Pacific Big Boy No. 4014 will be converted to No. 5 Oil which is the same fuel used by 844 and 3985. That means that this is no longer a simple reskin. I still would like to see the 4014 in Trainz 12 and I'm sure that there a lot of other people her wanting to see the same thing.
