I wanted to say that I did the first volume and followed the instructions given and it shows the ditch lights and a little part of the back for the texture and nothing else shows on the locomotive in tsre and in open rails! I haven't did the second part yet!

that H2 ES44 looks great! I threw together an H2 ES44DC a few weeks back and I've thought about doing the AC44EVs with the skin but I just havent gotten around to it.

The Santa Fe Fash 9s will use the BNSF "Heritage 1" locomotive shape found in the Mullan Subdivision Set.

A little good news on the shape file: The H1 found on the BNSF Starter Route Set (Dash 9 #1109) IS compatible to the Santa Fe Dash 9's. But be sure to follow instructions.

After doing a test run on ATSF C44-9W #620, the OR log gives a warning that "Pilbara-FA.s" in the .eng file is missing from the folder. Google says Pilbara is a region in Western Australia?? To my untrained eye I don't see anything amiss on the engine except that maybe the walkways look very red. Any idea what this missing shape is?
Thanks

I haven't did the second part yet! Also I even tried the 1109 locomotive and got same results!

That's odd! The locomotives works fine with me. And I've tested several units to make sure there were no errors to any one of them, including #620.

I see it as well, but I'm not sure about it being a leftover somewhere... 🤔

Hi,
pilbara-FA.s is not included in either atsf_c44-9w_superfleet_series.zip or atsf_c44-9w_superfleet_series2.zip !!

If it's included in the BNSF_MULLAN_GE_FOLDER there's no instruction to copy it over!

Cheers,

This appears in every .eng file in the two sets, there is no explaination as to where this is found, and how or where to place it:

ORTSFreightAnims
(
MSTSFreightAnimsEnabled ( 1 )
FreightAnimStatic
(
SubType ( Default )
Shape ( Pilbara-FA.s )
Offset ( 0.0 0.0 0.0 )
)
)

Potential oversight perhaps?

[slipperman]

Hi All,
I found pilbara-FA.s in my archives!
It may be available elsewhere, but I found it in my Siskiyou Engine Pack 01, along with a couple of textures in folder UP_C44-9W_9720. Also in Engine Pack 05 in folder SP_C44-9W_8123.

Cheers,
Ged

EDIT : File ID 78619 is where you'll find this shape file and textures!

[yellowdog]

It looks like this, which does not appear to be correct for the ATSF models. Probably just delete from .eng file

Indeed, clearly a leftover from a "canned" .eng file so to speak as this model uses a different freight animation to achieve the modifications required.

[slipperman]

Hi,
Thanks, fellas
Being from the other side of the 'pond', I am unaware of the detail differences between locos, and was only concerned with locating a file reported as 'missing' by OR.

It would, therefore, seem that the actual Freight Animation call for pilbara-FA.s within those .eng files requires changing, or deleting.

Cheers,
Ged

That FA came from pilbara_c44-9w_kd.zip

Why that is in the .eng files is beyond me. If removed from the .eng file, there shouldn't be any noticable difference as far as I'm aware.
