Neat trick with the door! Shape file animation or texture modification? Also, where'd you get that BNSF HyRailer? :P

[SD40-2]

This too me wayy too long to figure out how to do properly, but SP SD40M-2 8579, the weird SD45-GP40 mutt is done. The only thing I couldn't do is add the reinforcing bars added when they were rebuilt.



I'm going to go back over the older units, see what needs to be done, and finally release the CC upgrade pack.

The BNSF hy-rail came from the ORTS Seligman route. For a (then) $12 upgrade from the MSTS version, you got all the new MOW equipment, all the locomotive shapes revamped for ORTS (1-piece, as opposed to 2-piece shapes with separate F/A nonsense for handrails that shipped with the MSTS version), a re-vamped track layout/TDB and brand new OR-grade activities where AI's ran hot and heavy like streetcars.

ORTS Seligman shipped with a wheels down, on-rail BNSf version of the hy-rail pickup truck, while the Ruel route shipped with a wheels up, off-rail CN version of the same hy-rail truck. Luckily, the textures will swap, so you can use the Ruel wheels-up scenery shape to create a BNSF hy-rail scenery item, and you can use the Seligman wheels-down shape and ENG files to create a CN on-track inspection vehicle for Ruel and any other CN routes.

Both the BNSF unit with the open door and also the HyRailer came from Scott at Diesels West.
