Newer NS C40-9s/C40-9Ws?

[Unoriginal]

I’m just wondering if there’s any new Norfolk southern dash 9s that are available? Sure there’s the old MLT C40-9 and the reskins for the C40-9W but those are kinda dated now especially with the flinstones wheels.

yeah yeah I know about the 100 private models and skins that are available too, no use mentioning those since they’re only ever gonna be exclusive to the “cool kids club”.

I have both Black Brow & White Brow models with round wheels, that I think were from SLI (pre-Trainsimulations)?

I do have knowledge of those as they came with their horseshoe curve trainset, but since that pack is now unavailable for whatever reason, it’s off the table.

I was going to suggest maybe using the shape file with the older skins, but looks like they updated the textures too, to be all on one sheet versus two sheets. So that won't help much either. Sometimes that can be a good trick to do.

Explains why I never updated my Pan Am C40-8's textures to the newer model...

Ah, maybe some day I will get around to that for the "heritage" aspect of Pan Am no longer existing..

Short answer is no.
There were some in that SLI Horseshoe curve pack, but other than those coveted round wheels, they weren't that good, so you didn't really miss out on anything.
DW had some but, well you know that story...
The BEW ones in the library from way back are still probably your best available option. I've tweeked mine a bit but it still holds up well, I think, at least compared to the SLI version...

Yep Mike, I have the BEW versions because they have the antenna array on the roof. They are pretty nice.

Dieselswest is essentially just closed to the public, so that’s no longer an option.

I guess these do seem to be the best versions, I’ll have to check them out.

Diesels West is closed now has been for almost a year atleast as far as i know. But i will also say we need some CN dash 9's the MLT ones are very old and it would be nice to get some updated loco's for the sim.

[Unoriginal]

Oh there’s probably some new CN ones, they’re just behind closed doors for some special few.

I’d be up for new dash 9s that aren’t BNSF (TrainSimulations has provided those), the more variety the better!

[Jdark34]

they are some sli cn/ic dash 9 they need the .s file from bnsf 5726 & 5745 jdark34
