SLI/TS Ontario Northland SD75I Trainset

[CSRX]

Yeah, Shawn...some folks are able to keep track of this stuff...I find it boggling --- I did not know SLI issued an ONT set.

I recall the set a long time ago, I remember purchasing it, as it had the ONT boxcar like we have now, that I planned at the time to do a bunch of renumbers for, as they were very common in Rumford, ME for paper service. Never got around to it, since lost the original install file, but thankfully TS has offered a couple of other ONT boxcars.

I do have a folder with all the install files and a list of what they are with passwords, but I don't often go to TS or any other page to see if something is still available. Shrugs.

David, if you're still following this thread, I had a look at the ONR set again last night. If you're desperate for the "fish co" reefer, the texture file is identical to the one in the fruit express set, so as long as you know how to create wagon files etc, you could make them up pretty easily if you have that set. The cut out around the reefer on the sides of the ONR unit is different to the fruit express model so it could use a little tweaking if you want it as good as possible. If you do it and if you paint the ends blue like I SHOULD HAVE DONE (can't believe I missed that), it'll look even better.

The TOFC trailers would be a pretty easy transfer onto the spine car sets, so if you downloaded those and you know your way around reskinning you could easily replace any you didn't like, or again, just create some extra wagon and .s files and run them that way. My email address is in the readmes so feel free to send a message if you have any questions.

Thank you for this information, Pete. To be quite honest, I'm merely a tinker. It was just a matter of luck that I was able to get the right shapes for the boxcar and centerbeam.

Running Activities, creating Consists, developing software to maintain a stock inventory, etc. are about all I've managed in the last 23 years of train-simming. I've been tinkering with route modification lately, nothing sophisticated, just adding people (on platforms, etc.), vehicles and so on. Keeps the old grey matter active anyway!

Idea, add the old SLI trainsets and Engine Packs to the store.

[OmenRotcod]

I would be interested in that. Would be something to add to Paul Charland's ONR Route, for instance.

Nobody really flirts with Beck's engine models anymore. The engine packs (minus cabviews, sounds, and WAG files) were donated to this site. The first packs that came out were the BN and UP/SP packs.

As for trainsets, most are still available.

The SP intermodal set has basically been made obsolete by the equipment that comes with Shasta, see no reason in bringing that one back.

Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t the reason the CR juice train got removed was something to do with the tropicana licensing? (or lack of one?)

Pretty positive every single thing mentioned, can be adapted to the newer up to standard models, aside from maybe the GP9 and GP15-1's.
I'd rather have that, than see the older files rehashed, but that's just me..

Keep the older files for nostalgia.
Besides, there is addons in the library that use the shapes.

Keep the older files for nostalgia.

They're running a business, not a museum!

But they put the Scenic 2 Trainsets up for free download.

I don't believe those are even the originals to begin with.

Like dcarleton said, it's a business, not a museum.

I think it's time for some of these folks that keep demanding such old and outdated files, to learn how to paint or model themselves, and either paint up some of the newer offers to replace the old and missing, or create new models to do the same...

Just saying.
