Shell be going to St. Louis when she comes! Oh shell be going to St. Louis when she comes! (My first Amtrak ride was to St. Louis)
Boy howdy, they are coming along great, I mean thats my opinion, what do you guys think? Feedback, negative or positive, is welcome. I want as many people happy with this as possible. Also... I need beta testers. So far I have 4 positions open. If you wish to be on the beta team, PM me and we'll work it out. Luke, YOU ARE ALREADY INCLUDED DONT ASK.

I wasn't going too, Ben. LOL

 

[bentrain14]

Well your on. So, uh, yeah.

 

[Bluewater]

Nice Ben! However....there is one floating around in my railyard somewhere....maybe I'll drag it on out and have a slugfest

I'll help beta if you need me to.

 

[bentrain14]

Awesome! Ill put you down.

 

[SantaFebuff]

I can beta too.

- Josheeeeee

 

[bentrain14]

Ok, so if you are gonna beta, Ill put you down in the BNSF for trainz thread.

 

[jacksonbarno]

I can beta as well if you need another person. Amtrak occasionally runs Horizon cars on some trains originating from Boston, so I could go down to South Station and get some pictures if they have any there. I've seen one tacked onto the end of the Lake Shore Limited connection during the holidays, and they put them on some NEC Northeast Direct trains out of South Station. They are starting to phase them out, but they still have a presence.

Just getting the hang of GIMP! My first reskin(...or should i say patch job) that has gotten past the targa convert! This is on the JR INRD SD60. Modeled freelance, though roughly how some of them look like now. EDIT: Yes i know the historical significance of this unit to Mike and Justin...

 

[bentrain14]

Alrighty guys! One more position left for beta! If you are on the beta list (see BNSF for Trainz thread) be sure to keep in contact with me via PM. I will be asking for emails or skypes to send the beta release to you when I get her ready.

 

[AMTRAKwannabe]

I'll beta, looks like a neat project.

 

[bentrain14]

In game, not done, but I wanted to see how it looked.

 

[jacksonbarno]

The windows look like they are all frosted up, like during the winter season when these cars appear on the Lake Shore. Have you thought about trying to make them seasonal?
I love e'm so far!

 

[bentrain14]

Ill update the windows later. Probably shouldnt use them since they are JR's. I just wanted to test em out.

 

[Bluewater]

A couple of things from a long time ago...not sure if I'll bring them back or not...not exactly great.

 

[bentrain14]

Getting closer to beta! Here are some progress pics. I may ask JR if I could use the window textures. I figured out why they looked frosted BTW.

Ok, so there are two ends to this car. Here you wll see a door placed here, this would be facing the loco and/or the end of train. I will give an example upon release. So the open end would be for the normal facing cars. Again I'll give an example later. Also, there will be 3 cars to the set. Caffe, EOT end car, and the normal cars with both end open.

Not only a reskin of the built in Big Boy, but Modded too!

Made up and added the UP shield, the light number boards and added a coupler to the front. Also renumbered from 4006 to 4004.

Made up a Generator mesh and a generator attachment point for sound and steam. Also added the whistle and stoker attachment points for more sound.

Fixed up the limit points to get the correct spacing between locomotive and tender.

Mostly covered up the existing ..."Coupler" with a newer one and added an air hose for the brakes.

The only thing I want to finish is add a crew to the cab and get the front markers working. I wouldn't mind getting the tender light to work, I think I read about a "Not a locomotive" (?) tag that I could use that would allow the lamp to work....

Oh, and mod the other 6 reskins I have done...... the Cheyenne roundhouse is getting a might crowded.....

Hmmm with these mods I could have fun with the Trainzitalia Challengers and Northerns too.

Chris, what you've done with the Big Boy is nothing short of fabulous. Oldie but a goldie, can't wait to see more.
