P40, P42, P32AC-DM for Open Rails - Lessons Learned & New Progress

[FireEngine]

I dowloaded it and like them!

[Whatever2006]

I installed them and tried out the P40, a solid model (with a great cabview that's still being worked on) with a solid sound set.

Hi Kyle,

Just a BIG CONGRATS on getting a mighty fine looking model across the threshold. Few of us know how much time and effort this achievement actually takes.

Thanks for sharing your work.

Here here, and I say, the Genesis model is a very solid one in my opinion.

Well, ALMOST across the threshold. I wish I had finished the cab and included more road numbers, but I'll get a painting kit uploaded soon and the cab will get finished down the line maybe. But it's functional and it should be getting used instead of sitting on a hard drive for who knows how long! Appreciate the kind words.

A very big thank you. Appreciate the work and time you put into these. They look fantastic

I will be happy with the fully finished and polished cab, for now I will take what I have with me and wait for something else in the meantime, also:

Some notes about the set: SimAL2 reported a few bugs relating to the Freight Animation table for the GE Genesis, but it's an easy fix and aside from that, I'm saving the GE Genesis for later.

Hi Eoin,

Nice picture - in my book - seeing other people use your models - is the best payment freeware guys get.


It's a beautiful model.

Thanks Scott, although the consist in the screenshot is dumb in my perspective because I decide to go with "why not put a GE Genesis loco in a freight consist" and I did, although I did have a screenshot of the P40DC leading a Amtrak SW Chief but it's a bit of an old one with the loco having the old headlight glow graphic (which I updated it after the screenshot) and... one of the Amtrak F40PHRs not showing due to an issue with a missing inc file, which I also fixed as well.

Anyways, here's the Genesis locomotives with 'proper' rolling stock to go with them.

Currently uploading is a paint pack that includes six model variants and layered photoshop files for use as blanks. It's a big file but should have everything needed to customize the engines to your heart's content, there's an FA folder with different bells and antenna, and the six model variants are all different in subtle ways. Like the original P40 with the strobes and rear window vs. the rebuilt engines without those features. I'm sure you all will play around with them to make whatever your heart desires!

[Whatever2006]

When the blank set gets uploaded into the file libary, I imagine there will be a Full Bucket Line variant coming to the file library near you.

Just an fyi, MNCR 222 seems to be missing all lettering on the conductor's side.

Yep, as I noted there's plenty that's unfinished, this was a "release as-is". The cab model is also unfinished, but usable, so no sense in holding onto everything for more months to get all the way to 100% when 95% is there and the community seems to enjoy fiddling with the last 5% anyway

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have uploaded a patch that fixes various issues I found with the base package. Its now available in the file library. Thank you to Kyle, Nash, Pschlik, Parker and others who brought this project to fruition. 😀
