Any Route, Any Era, Any Time! - 2024 Edition

Battle-worn, Old and New, and some Colorado Northeastern equipment.

[CSRX]

Been busy overhauling the NBSR SD70M-2 fleet, with a few more texture tweaks left to do.






A closer overview, showing the addition of the PTC equipment on the roof, a couple of texture tweaks to the horn, ends of the roof sections near the exhaust stack and radiators, and the fan details. Some more textures still need some slight adjustment to better match the real units and colors.



another look showing the toilet drain being swapped to a silver texture versus a red texture to better match the real units.



Also working on custom front cabviews for both engineer and conductors sides, where each unit will have the "NBSR xxxx" above the conductor window, and on the engineer's computer screen. The rear view will be a tricky one, but it will probably just be generic NBSR painted side, as you won't really be able to read the lettering anyways. A bonus to this is, the PTC equipment is not installed in the cabs of these locomotives, as it's not a requirement on the NB&M.

Currently going through and swapping shapes on certain units, to get the better match for the handbrake, and removal of the goofy piece the sticks out of the rear hood above the headlights. No idea what that even is anyways.. Probably no plans for rear ditch lights, as these never run long hood forward on the NB&M property.


Finally, with the help of Brody, Setting up the proper flashing ditch lights during the horn blast, a feature that will only work in the unstable version of ORTS, and will NOT work in ORTS 1.5.1.

Nice work Shawn!

Some Union Pacific and Fictional stuff. UP 3982 is in the library.

When will the UP SD40s be uploaded?

[BurlingtonNorthern11]

Probably whenever I get time to fix it. I still have to remove the rotary beacon and package them correctly.

Beautiful!

That pumpkin 9661 unit eventually became GMTX 2671 in real life. I know the GMTX geeps have been an area of interest for you.

Would love some yn2 and yn3 of that GP38.

Would love some yn2 and yn3 of that GP38.

None of the former Clinchfield gp38s ever made it into yn2 or yn3. I don't know of any other pre-CSX road that built them to the same specs as CRR, but I suppose there may have been some

Shasta is unbelievable! Perfect canvas for testing new things!

Great information, but thankfully KERC had purchased it before GMTX got a hold of it and let it go to hell in a hand basket.
