    et44's

    I am wondering if any payware guy's are making a ET44 humpbacks for Openrails? Sure would be cool to see some CN ones.

    Nope. No chance. There are possibilities of a freeware one that is just as good if not better quality perhaps in the future, and this isn't a knock to any of the current payware devs, just simply saying.

      TrainSimulations does polls on their Facebook page. Their last one was in April, but it's nice to get feedback from the community on what kind of content they want to see in the future.

      Maybe, just maybe, we might see some ET44 diesels in the near future if the demand is there.

        We'd firstly need a good diagram with dimensions on it, like you'd see published in Model Railroad Craftsman or Model Railroader. We don't do ANYTHING with rollingstock or locomotives without one of those.

            There's a 2017 copy of Trains magazine with a dimensioned CAD drawing of it. Full page display too. If you can track down a copy of it, you're golden.

                They've already done both those. Both were discontinued.

                    Be nice if they did them again although on a new model, a ton of people don’t have those old sets.

                      I will never understand why so many are passing up on the awesome freeware models.

                        Well the ones I have seen have a black spot on the wheels that looks crazy going down the tracks. Not sure if they do it to keep people from using it or IDK. I have some very nice freeware locos but you know the payware one's 99.9% are very good and look and work correctly. I will have to look at the UP ones But I know the BNSF ones have crazy wheels.

                          What files are you even referring to on this?
                          Because if it is this package "BNSF ET44ACH 5Pack Set 1"
                          It is pretty obvious why those ones are the way they are.

                          Have you tried out these ones? I have had ZERO wheel issues when using the correct models they require, plus, the UP ones come complete.

                            Ok first of all I'm not complaining.Second payware is usually right out of the box.No uncompressed or decompression flies no renaming.I don't know about you I don't have time to do all that. I used to but simply do not have the time now. Why are the wheels painted that way again or are you complaining? All I did was make a suggestion to the payware guy's. Are you complaining about that?

                              Right. You obviously have enough time to constantly beg for certain things and give no gratitude towards those that help or provide.

                              I've pointed you into the right direction, and asked a question on what files are causing you an issue, and all you can come back with is a spin towards me. Another one added to the list. Good day.
