October 2nd, 2016 - A westbound UP manifest passes the old water tower at Orchard, Idaho. The line seen branching off at left is the old passenger cutoff to Boise which is not in use anymore.
This is the first train I've run on my Kuna to Mountain Home route, just as a test. And I can already tell that maybe the grading needs to be adjusted. But I was just working with what the DEM from the DLS gave me.
 
UP Turbine 8500HP found with your help..........

On the DLS by CloakedGhost275. Search for turbine, you'll probably find it.

Cheers,
SM

Update:

:D Keyword "Turbine" used in DLS search line, and Voila I found exactly what I needed plus CN Turbine, and another Demonstrator with detachable Snow Plow, is Blue Livery I think, thanks again for your help Sir.

I would also suggest downloading CloakedGhost275's 'UP Auxiliary Tender', <KUID:76096:4>, which is also on the Download Station. The turbine CloakedGhost275 modeled came with the auxiliary tender when it was built, so I'd suggest downloading the auxiliary also.
 
Thanks for Auxiliary Tender Info (I'll download tonight)

Thank you folks, :o I totally forgot about the UP Auxiliary Tender, I had seen it on someone's Thread long ago..... :wave:

I think it is such an awesome looking unit.

Appreciate looking out for me........

If you are looking for more UP Aux tenders this site has a couple of reskins http://www.freewebs.com/redboy747/downloads.htm near the bottom. There is a third reskin, the Jim Adams 809 just above the pictured ones.

Edit: While I was on the Peter's Trainz site I noticed his extensive collection of N&W stuff and thought I'd check it out.

I've made fun of the fact that there are at least 4 versions of the N&W J 600 in trainz, the original by bdaneal, the clone of Ben's by philskene under Ben's kuid, a clone by bill69, and a clone by msgsapper (the last three are shown at the bottom of this shot.)



Then there is the Payware version by K&L Trains which includes an aux tender and supports ARN so they can be any number you like.



So Peter's site has 601, 602, 603, 604, and 608 and has both a standard tender and a dog box tender (the 5 at the top of the shot). As you can see they are quite good looking. I have not tried driving them yet.



Peter also offers an "excursion" train Parts 1 and 2 and a N&W tool car.

They are shown here on tracks 2, 3, and 4 along with the payware consists from K&L on tracks 1, 5, and 6

As you can see Peter has not only 7 N&W passenger cars he also includes another 13 passenger cars from many different railroads including a power car and a heavy weight car. These are older models with only a few having interiors but they make a great alternative if you can't afford K&L's payware.



All in all a very nice package! Especially when they're free!

Edit2: Peter's J 600s drive very nicely and sound good, they have the same interior problems that most steam locomotives have in TANE. They really make the route come alive. :D

Edit3: Of the three N&W J #600 locomotives on the DLS I recommend the one by Bill69, far and away the best of the three.

Will do sir,

I would like to add some more Auxiliary's to my inventory, I think they are really Cool Items, I also add Slug units to my consists as well on Short Runs to drop off Loads........

I started a Tanker Train run with my Turbines last night and discovered some the track-age I had changed for new Bridge installation caused my Grade to elevate to 5% in small area,:hehe: but I had so much power from Turbines 8500 HP per Unit, (A+B) and a Slug, I had no trouble climbing the Grade.....Planning to smooth out the Grade to 3.5% if I can......Never a dull moment.......LOL

Thanks for the Good Info.........:D
