SURVEY TIME! No locomotive left behind

Thanks!
 
How about some DIFFERENT F units:

Also, the Cotton Belt (and any others) Spirit of '76 tunnel motor:

And SP tunnel units with the different nose lights, speed lettering:

Any kind of snow fighting loco. Grated center windows, special windows on the side, and big plows. Perhaps even a toggleable snow spray with slider to control the size.
 
I think it would be nice to see more locomotives that have weathering on them. Not harsh weather but everyday up and down the road weathering.

I'd agree with this. Just looking at the pics that have been posted since provide some interesting case studies for Weathering. White dust on Black Paint, brown dust on Grey/Blue/Yellow Paint. Rust appearing at the edges of Body Segments (For which you guys have already done very well on some units). There seem to be tons of Factory New Units, and a smaller amount of, though still notable, amount of Destroyed or Heavily Weathered units. But not many, what I'll term, "Casual Use" without looking "Totally abused and neglected" units.....


As for Suggestions....

I'm always looking for more BN, BNSF, UP, and if we want to go a little further back, GN, NP, MLW, and SP&S Units.

2x SD7/9s - GN, Different Paint

NP GP-7/9. Near as I can tell they either didn't have SDs, or nobody took any photos of them that I can find.

MLW SD-7/9s

SP&S Never owned EMD Road units after the F-units. Newest power I think they had had was some Alco RS's and a few early GE Road units.

But whatever's clever.

Falcus,

According to the book "Northern Pacific Railway Diesel Era - 1945 to 1970", the only SD model the NP had was 30, SD45's numbered 3600-3629. No SD9's.

Regards,

Norfolk & Western 1776

This something that combines everything people love about locomotives. It is the N&W 1776 (SD45 HH). You could use the standard dual control stand, high hood N&W SD45 mesh and a redo of the ATSF Bicentennial Skin.

I love this type of railroading, where you can see several different engines, coming from different backgrounds, many still wearing their original paint.

Two simple requests -


UP SD70ACe w/nose light
UP ES44AC (recent version, not the first phase that the current model displays - differences include the side the cab door is on, yellow frame stripe, etc)
 
Since the Norfolk Southern SD70ACe's are already done, I think the NS SD70M-2's (2649 - 2778) should also be made. Why I'm suggesting this simple reskin should be made because there were two different NS SD70M-2 models from several years ago, one from VMD (old payware) and SPORBUST (old freeware), but they both don't exist anymore. I also would like to suggest a skin of a GP40-3 (GP40-2 model) done in SWP colors as well.
