For sure, but just a couple engines could help round out the roster. JR has an SD45 and another site has an SD40-2 and SDL39. Just a few GP40's and a GP7R would be a nice touch. Really dig the GP35M's but those would require a whole new model and then modifications to that, but ya never know.

Even the variation of details within the WC GP40 roster is crazy. GP7Rs wouldnt be as bad but that was only a handful of units.

Every railroad has some variation in their engines. Just have to find a "middle ground" otherwise no models would ever be made, unless it was one model with no ARN representing a specific engine.

There would be outrage from the peanut gallery. Same issue with custom cabs. All sorts of models finished but due to the outcry for releasing models without custom cabs from some, a few models might not see the light of day.

Lol sadly this is true.
 
Any way we can ever see a "Hiwassee Terminal Pack 2"? I'm making a fictional route using the railway (it's my favorite fictional one in Trainz, looks very nice!) and would love some more varying power, like maybe a sd40-2, a chop nose gp7, a F unit for the coaches in the first pack, maybe even an old U25 or B30-7? My main line freight trains are always just sd45-2's with some gp38's sprinkled in and some custom patched units I made, but I'd love to sport more engines in the railway's actual livery. And some more variety for my yard crews would be nice as well.
 
Hey what ever happened to the CF7s? lol Also I found a DeBruce SD9 but it was completely buried and is not easy to find, why is this?
 
I’d love to see a UP AC4400CW, UP AC6000CW in Flag paint, and a C45ACCTE in the phase 2 Flag paint (the “Building America” on the electrical box)

I would love it if JR made a SDP35 with no textures, with animating fans and put it out on the freeware where people can make their own skins for it.
 
I second SD35s of any type. I'd say after things like the SD18 and the SD24 the SD35 is one of the most overlooked EMDs by a mile.

A bit niche, but some vintage big CN power in the 1961-1973 scheme would be interesting. The rare spartan-cab GP40 they had 16 of.

The ubiquitous GMD SD40.

And the two 70s era six axle Alcos. Of the 44 C630M's they had only the first two had dynamic brakes while all 40 of the M636s had them.

No pictures because I'm lazy, but since we have a new SD45 model, how about an updated Santa Fe SD45?

Early Norfolk Southern.

Here’s something…odd, Norfolk Southern SD50s 6506-6525 in as-delivered condition (c. June-July 1984). These were built with the long hood forward as the front and were the pre-cursor of the large fleet of SD60s the system took on beginning later that year. The sub-lettering on these units were as follows:

  • Southern (6506-6516)
  • Central of Georgia (6517-6523)
  • Alabama Great Southern (6524 and 6525)

Norfolk & Western SD40-2s. Not too specific on locomotive phases or whether it has a low nose or high nose or even the block/text lettering.

Southern B36-7 (3815-3820) or B30-7A1 (3500-3521), either one would be ideal for the time period.

Finally, the NS B32-8 in as-delivered condition (3522-3566) with Southern sublettering. These were numbered directly after the B30-7A1s and worked with them (among other units of similar horsepower rating) on TOFC/COFC trains when they were delivered in the Fall of 1989. These were the penultimate units built for the Norfolk Southern new with the long hood designated as the front as they came before the production GP59s (4609-4641).
