Triaxles spread the gauge. Just ask the R&N whenever they drop a switcher because they decided to use one of their SDs to switch the day before.

It just causes more track maintainance. Though, I understand the Triaxles since that thing is so light, it probably helps with the tractive effort.

Essencially, yours has more power at the expense of causing the necessity of more track maintainance.

Though you are in the mid west, and I am basing it off of twisty Appalachian railroads, so I could be wrong.

on bad track yea they might spread the gauge. its funny that you say that, bc its usually discounted as just a rumor. there is no reason a tri axle should spread the gauge unless there is some kind of strong lateral forces or a real sharp curve. in fact, the reason SD units were made is to be LIGHTER and less destructive on the tracks. they do so by spreading the weight over more axles. it works, and the SDL39 i mentioned before was made for branchline operations where a normal 4 axle locomotive would have otherwise been too much direct weight on the rails. this is what made them special duty.

now, back to my original thought. Conrail refused to use the HTC trucks on its locomotives for a long time, simply because there was talk about the amtrak SDP40s spreading gauge because they rocked so bad (and they did -depending on who you talk to). i was going to say im ok because im using the tried and true 3 axle flexicoil and it doesnt damage the tracks. or so they say.

Just wondering, but is the MP2800 a real loco?

It looks like a Geep with an MP15 cab.

I really like it!

There are currently no plans for the MP2800 to be released

Edit: The /B variation
~pic~

I think (and this is just my opinion) you should release it as payware at jointedrail. A quick question though, what verion of Trainz is it intended/tested for?

It's completely made-up

It was never really intended to see any release whatsoever but it's anyones guess at this point. I don't do any testing outside of TRS2006, which it works fine in- so I suppose you'd say it's set up for use in 2006+.

it would work in 04... most of my things do.

I would buy that loco in a heart beat.

Looks like Jointed Rail does a great job on that smoke.

Here's a random shot from today:

Florida East Coast Railway - Miami To Fort Pierce - Beautiful Autumn evening - Train 222

Fantastic. Is this a T6 route? Or a T9 route? Do you have a link? Is it operational or still in the planning stages.

I posted this in the past, and maybe others will see this.

When posting pics, include the layout name, where it can be found, etc.
Great to post pics, but if the layout is still a year away, then that's no fun at all.

Thanks, and it is for 2009.

Still WIP, but operational, and I think I did label the route name in my USA Pics post.

signals

hello will those signals in the photos be on the download station for free thanks.

 

[applegathc]

Tolga is currently working on them, specifically the scripting and coronas(??) and will most likely post about their release either in here or in the the Freeware section.

Hi mikel, I've got three questions.

What're those things beside the signals on the tracks?
Are the Xing markings on the road really that far back in reality?
Where did you get the telegraph lines?

Cheerio,
Nicholas.

 

[mikelj001]

I have saw the RR X marking in the road at all kind of different distances

THE twin boxs by the signals are wire Juction boxs that thae signal use

and a think what your see in the distances are power utity line

I think is on the DLS
