Hey everyone,
I just thought I would start a new thread that everyone could contribute in and that is what projects are you wanting to do or are continuing into the new year?
As for me I have numerous projects I have been working on but would like to wrap a few of them up in the next year and some new projects I would like to start.
I currently have been on a kick to build passenger cars for the Milwaukee Road 261 and I will continue to do so in 2026. However I have many other projects up my sleeves that many do not know about.
A few on the top of my list that I would love to get completed in 2026 are as followed.
SP GS1 4-8-4. This project has been in the works for some time and I still need to finish the tender and add a few more details to the locomotive it's self. I started this project about a year ago to help out a team in Open Rails when it comes to oil firing and hope to have it completed in the middle of next year if time allows.
The next one on my list is the Rock Island R67B 4-8-4. This one has also been in the works for years but I never got around to finishing it. There will be a coal and oil versions as the Rock Island had both.
The third project on the list is one that has also been an off and on project for some time and that is US Sugar 148 4-6-2. This locomotive I stared to build for a friend of mine who is also very active in the Train Sim community and has released a few of his own projects.
A forth project I started this year that I would also like to get farther on is CP 2816 4-6-4. This project I stared after chasing the locomotive quite a few times in 2024 during its multi content tour and feel an updated version is very much needed for Open Rails.
This last I have had up my sleeve for some time that I would like to get done is one I feel would get the most popularity and that is the NKP and PM 2-8-4 that I would like to also get done. Yes this would include the famous Berks we all know and love along with a few others. Maybe a C&O 2716 thrown in there as well?.😉
When it comes to passenger car projects the list is endless but my main goal right now is to keep plugging away on the MILW 261 fleet as they are very wildly known in the excursion industry and travel all over the country.
There are two more projects that I would like to get farther on or start this year and that is the Reading T1 4-8-4 and the Iowa Interstate QJ's 6988 and 7081.
Yes I know my list is quite large and hoping I am able to at least take a section of it and release some of these projects that have been sitting on the shelf and getting a little dusty.
What are some of your projects you have been working on that will carry into the next year or some new projects you would like to start?
