Bnsf 7695

[dnewmanjr]

Earlier this Summer, I decided to come up with the "Golden Swoosh" Locomotive (since there were no versions available), and this is what I've come up with, which is based from the TS Seligman Sub DC Units.

Haven't made a decision on the release date yet for THIS unit, but it will be on the top of the list, along with some RENUMBERED C4's (from the Mullan Sub) that I've done a while back.

That would be a welcome addition to my BNSF fleet, and more than likely would be used in activities I would like to plan out for the Mullan Pass, and Feather River.

That unit is one of a kind. Hard to believe that unit (and the BNSF logo for that matter) will be two decades old already. That logo was ahead of its time.

Just to give everyone a heads up:

There will be a patch coming soon with a custom sound file for this unit (currently uses a K3LA horn) and the correct notepad instructions on installing the locomotive.

Thanks in advance!

I saw 7695 go by the house about three weeks ago, it's still looking good for its age.

The ES44C4's are currently in the works, with a future release date.
It will be a newer version of the 8000 and 8200 series (that I've done a long time ago using the CP GEVO). However, THIS version will be using the TS/OpenRails BNSF ES44C4s from the BNSF/MRL Mullan Subdivision.

AHA! I was thinking of doing a personal fleet of those as part of a project as I wanted to do to upgrade my current roster of BNSF locomotives to the newer models provided by Mullan Pass (due to PTC and redoing my Dash 9s, GEVOs and adding ACes to my fleet)

You're right about that, and I'm glad you spotted that. Those are just only samples of the locomotives that I'm currently working on right now that will be released at a future time.

Same here. I've done more that a few dozen renumbers since then.

This would be a great idea to upgrade the Seligman Locomotive Textures to Mullan Pass Standards as Seligman ones are a bit outdated and the H3 Dash 9’s has old logo on the rear when they’re not on the prototype!
