Showcasing Upcoming BEW & Jeff Auberpine uploads

[burgerbern]

Found another couple of Jeff's repaints that he sent to me which i will deal with after the tank cars are uploaded the first is a BN GP30 based on an SLI shape (Not sure which one yet as the emails from Jeff for the period before Dec 2019 are lost where he would have told me which shape i needed) but I will work it out before upload. I suspect it will be one of the early SLI ATSF packs or routes.

and a GP39M probably on the same shape (both have Jeff's FA's to make them correct)

The GP30's have finally been uploaded apologies for the long wait File ID 90304, GP39M's to follow in the next week.

Managed to get 30mins so i could also upload the GP39M's as well, both sets are using Danny Beck's freeware shape but Jeff resized them in Shape file manager and as i do not know what setting he used i have left them as is because if i use the one in Danny's upload i cannot resize the FA to match, he did it to make the engines nearer to their true size.

I don't know anything about GP39Ms, other than what I'm learning this morning. It seems like they had some sort of 645 engine, but also components of a 567. I see the upload points to the 567 sounds. I'm just wondering if someone has insight as to what these things sound like.

Gp39M's

They are equipped with a turbocharged EMD 645E3 12-cylinder engine, generating 2,300 hp.

NAVS EMD 645E sound set which has some 567/645 combos. File ID 88642

Or, the more appropriate EMD 645E3 sound set from NAVS. File ID 85887

These units still retain their 16 cylinder 567, but with 645 power assemblies. Not only BN, but ATSF did the same with their GP30's and 35's during their rebuild program in the late 70's and early 80's.

Here's what the engine sounds like starting up and idling:

Ah, so with just the power assembly change, it would still sound like the 16 cylinder 567.

Thank you Bernard, I've been waiting quite awhile for these.

Slightly different. The 645 power assemblies would make it sound a little more distinct from your typical 567 roots blown engine.

If you download the NAVS 645 series file id 88642 here in the library, it will give you the options for the 567 with 645 power assemblies set up.
