Beauty ain't it? Such Detail!

Sorry that my earlier link didn't work. Here is one from Railpictures showing CN3105--a whaleback. Again, not my photo, but for illustration of a whaleback unit.

A bit more background. The original "square top" ET-44 exhaust assemblies had clearance issues on CSX. A running production change was made, adopting the "whaleback" exhaust assembly design to solve the problem. Since the change was made in the middle of building ET-44 orders, blocks of locomotives ordered by the railroads could have either the original or whaleback design. I've done renumber repaints for my own use of some "original exhaust" ET-44 locomotives available here on TSim. Whenever I do, I look up prototype photos of the locomotive no. of my proposed repaint to make it sure it's one of the original exhaust designs.

Any updates on these units? Been looking forward to them for a while.

I haven't even worked on this because I'm working on a current route project. But I will let you know.

Yea when are these coming??

I'm gonna have this thread closed. Because I clearly answered the previous question and you're asking me yet again.

Outside the US circle, now it also has.

Nah, no need to close it.

But it does illustrate the risk in advertising Mega packs when you haven't actually done the work yet...

I'm probably going to start working on it now that I have some time. At the time, I was just not all there. But I'll probably get some leeway towards working on the BNSF renumbers - the ones that Chris Wallace did were a hit, but some of the parts actually are designed for the BNSF 3600-series.
