If he's made it for SP1, I won't be able to, however, I may try to download it into TC and see what happens there, if it works, then I may try to find other content that would be in keeping with the wild wild west.........:wave::wave::wave:
Excellent video, and that engine is beautiful, I gotta see if I can make that work in 06..........

The engine and tender were created to be compatble with 04 and 06. From earlier posts, it works in 06 without SP1, but there may be issues, such as the front coupler not behaving properly.
From what I understand, otherwise it works fine in 06. I cannot make promises on how it will work if "your" Trainz is not updated with correct patches.

Beautifull recreation of the General, one question, that steamer is this one?

What are you looking at?
No, that engine is a replica of the "Jupiter" which is a different engine from this one. That is a nice Railroad, though!
Those "correct" patches didn't work for me, so I don't have it set up with SP1, I did however re-download it, it is absolutely beautiful, full interior and everything, I have shot a little bit if video of it, love that whistle too, any chance I can install that whistle on Ben Neal's 2-8-2??????

Thats a modern copy of the Jupiter, Ben Neal made the Promontory Set, which includes the Jupiter and the UP 119.......

Wasn't implying any sarcasm with the "correct" patch statement. I work with computers and software all day every day and patches are a part of life for me. I've learned to get the latest patch immediately after installing any game or software before using it. Of course, I do get "bit" every once in awhile. Every time at work when I ask for help, "they" say, "is the patch installed..." and won't go any further with me if it isn't.
As for the whistle, I don't mind you doing whatever you want. Can't speak for others though. I think that is the beauty of this simulator is some items are "swappable" if you know how to do it.

I ain't taken any chances of messing up either this General or the 2-8-2, so I probably won't be swappin' any whistles til I know what I'm doing in that regard, every swap I've made so far has been easy things, like bogeys and such...........
I didn't get it into TC, seems TC's CMP doesn't like to be cooperative if you know what I mean, so I simply installed it in TRS2006, it works fine, I tend to use DCC so I don't get the full effect of the cab view, such as all the cool animation stuff, but most of it works fine, I'm kind of stuck on using simple controls if you know what I mean...........
UPDATE NOTICE MUSEUM VERSION
UPDATE NOTICE Museum version
I slightly modified the tender bogie textures to highlight the details a little.
If you downloaded the GENERAL before 9/13 you can get the updated bogies on the DLS kuid's 315087:1063 and 315087:1064
Or you can download the entire engine / tender again from the TPR Download Depot.
As a side note, the entire GENERAL and tender, (MUSEUM) version is now available at the DLS.

ANOTHER UPDATE
I just made another update to the engine. Getting those last few tweaks in!
This "fix" made it necessary to modify the engine, main bogey, and interior view.
I JUST uploaded it to the various places including the DLS, so if you wait a few days and then check back you should be able to download it. Just download the engine and it should update everything (I suppose). OR you could just download the 3 things mentioned above...
Thanks for your patience!

Civil War General
Ok, here are 3 screenshots of the Civil War version. I still have a bit of texture tweaking to do. I'm planning on doing several different color schemes to see which one I like best, or gets the best response. Other opinions are important to me.
The colors shown here are from the research mentioned on the Microscale decals. Not sure if the shade of green is correct, but may be close enough(?) Tender will eventually be green also.
The red drivers will be the color of the front wheels, OR they (all) will be black.
Opinons are welcome!!

Update!
Over last weekend, I ended up having to uninstall TRS2006, as it had become very unstable, probably due to the fact that I had run my registry cleaner way way way toooooooo much, so a few things got messed up, I'm finally getting everything back to where it was a prior to the mess up, basically I suddenly had content missing from maps that I know I didn't remove.
The General still works fine in TRS2006, along with SP1, which I did get it right this time, and it also works well in TC.....:wave::wave::wave:
