USSc 1798 is making his own soon.. https://forums.auran.com/trainz/sho...gram)-screenies-renders&p=1831844#post1831844It's a pity that these locomotives are no longer available. And that those who do have them cannot share them.

Nice shots of the 9000 Zsuda! I forgot that the Old Cowboy Works made the 9000 way back in TS12! ...
Hi Zsuda --
I think that The Cowboy overcooked the steam effects. I'm not sure why, for example, there is a plume of steam from under the tender. If it was oil fired then it was essential to use steam heating of the tender to keep the heavy bunker fuel sufficiently liquid to feed into the fire box. But this is a coal fired locomotive. And the cylinder drain cocks -- too much steam for too long.
For me the steam and smoke effects of the locomotives by Ben Neal are the "Gold Standard". See for example the 4-4-0 and 2-6-0 of his that I uploaded to the Download Station. On his locomotives the drain cocks close at 5mph. And there is a trace of steam escaping from the piston glands at the back of the cylinders.
It's been so long that I can't remember, but I think I used Ben's steam effects as a template when I modified the 9000s. ...

Hi Bob --

The Bill69 update? For authorised owners? I didn't know about this. Are there any significant changes? Not that it's particularly relevant now, as these wonderful creations now disappear into the mists of digital time.

I've just trawled through my HDD. I see that I have "payware_(password_******)_UP9000_Class_Package1_v2.exe", installed on my HDD 24/12/2007. So maybe I do actually do have and am using the Bill69 update. Is that roughly when the update was released?
That sounds like Shane's update. Bill's was for TANE as Swordfish said. IIRC you had to contact him directly to get the update. I just found them on the HD dated 7-23-2017 thru 7-30-2017 so that time frame. 13 files in total....
