ALEX/WEARSPRADA!!! More GP7/GP9 units, por favor! LOL

I wonder if there is such a thing as a Russian GP7/GP9????

S2s and S4s were pretty common at tipples and transloading facilities in the late 60s to the early 80s. They were mostly beat up, never washed, and constantly needing paint. Might be an interesting job for someone who loves to weather skins, but it's hard to come by photos of them since active mine sites aren't exactly photographer friendly.

Few examples

How about some Milwaukee Road?

MILW S2 31 units numbered 822-852

MILW S4 34 units numbered 800-819 and 853-866

MILW S12 21 units numbered 900-914 and 920-925

MILW RS1 7 units numbered 870-874

MILW GP9 128 units numbered 200-212, 215-277, and 280-331

MILW GP20 54 units numbered 946-999. Units 982-999 had the numberboards in the nose like the WM locomotive in the Chessie 3 pack.

MILW SD40-2 90 units numbered 3000-3040 and 130-209

Just some ideas to throw out there.

What about freight cars? If so, how about SP & DRGW skins for the 100 ton hoppers?

While I've not seen anything to suggest SP had that car, I do need to skin more of them, and DRGW is definitely on the list.

Thanks a lot for sharing. That is so cool.

How about this old Alco? Though the website says it's a RSD1, it's the export version, the RSX-1. I can confirm this because the builder's plate shows that that's its model designation. What's noticeable is that the cab is lower and the sides of the cab angle inward. They also have trucks that can be adjusted for different rail gauges. Supposedly these are the locomotives that Russia based their first road switchers on, which would eventually become the CHME3 found in Trainz 12. The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum has four of these Alcos. The two in the best condition are out of commission: one needs to be completely rewired, the other has a broken water pump.

Thanks

You know, since there's already an orange SW1500 done up, I'm going to request/suggest a Camp Chase Industrial SW1500. Small line, but worth a shot!

 

[justinroth]

camp chase +1. I thought it only existed here in Columbus.

 

[benjaminw]

How about a Western Pacific U-boat?

 

[chickenlover]

I dunno. maybe a tone down on the GS-4's in daylight color scheme, it's starting to make me think that it's plastic.

 

[GNdome55]

I’d love to see a Great Northern GP9 in the original scheme.

 

[jacksonbarno]

Lehigh and New England S2s?

 

[robertkl]

Love to see RF&P GP40's and RF&P 2-8-2 RF&P F7's

 

[simulatortrain]

Lehigh and New England S2s?

Are you reading my mind? I'm going to do those later tonight........
