Engines Wishlist for Jointed Rail.

Amtrak's ALC-42 locomotives have finally been put together at the siemens mobility shops. Now that the base model for the locomotive has been finished, I think we know what Jointed Rail needs to do soon now that the P42's will be getting retired in the coming years :hehe::p

What Charger is that in the background that's yellow?
 
How about some more f40s. the reskins on the DLS tend to look a little crude sometimes, and occassionally have no detail in the texture files. Perhaps some f40s for Metra, Metrolink, Tri-Rail, and (of all roads) CSX
 
How about some E units? Not too many good quality E units are available, and most if not 95% are using age-old meshes with the standard Auran EMD engine and the base horn or a horn you can't hold down. Come on! You can't have a legendary locomotive with textures that are like watching a YouTube video in 144p with horns and engine sounds that are as old as the game iteself!

Gotta agree with DARTRider on the need for E units. Lots of F units out there, but you pretty much have to run passenger consists with freight locos.
 
Hello need a southern pacific sd40-2.

Agreed. There is a missing void in JR's Southern Pacific category, the SD40-2.

Yes, most E units on the DLS are low quality and in need of a major re-do. If we could get an SP Daylight E8A or Rock Island E8A with amazing texture quality, that'd be amazing.

A couple of other missing voids are as follows:

Not having any undec versions of their locomotives and rolling stock available as freeware or payware, &

Not getting rid of their "we'll sue you if you reskin our freeware" policy.

Yeah, some undecorated ones would be cool, especially the SDP45 textures. Though I wouldn't think they'd sue you if you were to reskin for personal use, they'd probably get mad if you put it up elsewhere.

Well I wouldn't do the reskin for profit. I would only have it available on the DLS, plus I would also put them as chief credit in the Config File for being the original authors and all I did was the reskinning. Unless JR makes numbers of these locos available in undec versions for us to use, it'll make things a whole lot easier for reskinners. I can't find them anywhere else.
