Nope, just press register and do the register-y stuff.Do you need a paid trainzitalia account to download the challengers?

Honestly I would just use the Big Boy Enginespec. Its hard to create an enginespec.

I know he was given permission to make reskins of the challengers, which is perfectly fine, but i'm talking about the original challengers available from Trainz Italia.Actually, reskinner daylightrain made reskins of the challengers and was given permission to release. Check out this thread for more info. http://forums.auran.com/trainz/show...oming-Soon!-(Warning-Like-Way-to-Many-Photos)

I just checked in on Trainz Italia but I have only seen the two old UP challenger packs I haven't seen any new ones
When Whitepass said they released 11 challengers, he might have been talking about the original ones, he just didn't know when they were released.

Kinda figured that one out on my own but thanks.When Whitepass said they released 11 challengers, he might have been talking about the original ones, he just didn't know when they were released.
Did the updated CSA challengers have sand domes shaped like late-model challengers?
To answer your question, no, the "upgraded" CSA Challengers had the same dome configuration as the original CSA challengers before they got upgraded.

They were never changed to match the 3900s and 4000s, yet they certainly had the space for them and the UP considered them highly successful. The flat Nebraska routes they ran on near the end of their lives required less use of sand than those running over the mountainous plains in the west. However, had the Union Pacific kept its steam power longer it is probable the earlier CSAs could have gained larger domes much like the rebuilds done to their older Mikados and Pacifics.
Does anyone know of a realistic CSA Challenger engine spec?
Honestly I would just use the Big Boy Enginespec. Its hard to create an enginespec.
You could experiment with any of these
<kuid:69593:100860> UP3900 Challenger E-spec TB3.3 <by Pendolino on TrainzItalia>
<kuid2:243294:51055:3> Challenger e-spec T:ANE <by Bill69 on DLS>
<kuid:123250:100488> SteamSoundz: C&O H8 Enginespec
<kuid2:96914:51160:3> C&O H8 Enginespec
<kuid2:69871:2132:1> US Big Steam enginespec
<kuid2:123250:100280:1> USRA 2-8-8-2 Mallet enginespec (e-spec)
<kuid:96914:51474> usrahmalletteng
<kuid2:243294:1317:2> USRA 2-8-8-2 e-spec TS12
<kuid:439337:101519> USRA 2-8-8-2 e-spec
<kuid2:523:51469:7> Big Boy Enginespec
<kuid:67873:1053> Big Boy TSC engine C
I use Pendolino's for my TrainzItalia Challengers (naturally) and Bill69's for my ANL and PaulzTrainz Challengers

Don't the mallet enginespecs reduce top speed?(after all, mallets are slow)You could experiment with any of these

Yes the mallet e-spec will probably reduce the top speed in DC only.
I have a challenger e-spec on the DLS <KUID2:243294:51055:3> it is very realistic but I can't remember what I set the top speed at.
It is listed as a TS12 e-spec but works well in T;ANE too.
If you want it changed I can change it for you, just drop me a PM.
Cheers,

If I may although yes there are plenty of the challenger and bigboy locomotives out there, they really are just to old and are in need of a massive update and well face lift, although the currently released models are not something that you can just smirk at. In terms of Anls locomotive though they were beautifully made, I myself have tried contacting Anl and made 2 threads now in regards to his models and to no avail. So any who is going to try I support and back 100%, further more this is really what the Trainz community is about anyway. With that being said best of luck to you dundun92 look forward to seeing what you can do.

Maybe Anl has left Trainz?
Just like TheCowboy?
No, I don't think ANL has left Trainz altogether, I personally think that he visits the forums at infrequent intervals, but chooses not to say/share anything for reasons we may never know. My reasons for saying this is due to looking at his profile. (As of Today) it states that his most recent activity on the forums was Oct. 27, 2016

Perhaps it is because people are constantly asking for his content, every week, so he is not giving it out, therefore you can expect his to be payware, because of everyone continually gimmie piging him

Or maybe he doesn't feel like creating anymore due to people handing out reskinned versions of his stuff in a youtube video...... its hilarious because the name of the person who is handing it out is right there.
It is amazing how some people in this community love to bite the hand that feeds.

Apparently 55mph. That is compared to 71mph using the BigBoy espec and 69mph for the TrainzItalia espec. (DCC mode)
