A huge thank you to Nash Welch, et al. Over the past couple of years or so, Nash Welch and repainters of his fine locomotives have produced a wealth of new locomotives, beautifully executed, for OpenRails. He has become one of the most prolific contributors of content to OpenRails. I appreciate all content developers, both payware and freeware, but I think that Nash is worthy of some special recognition for his efforts. In just about every train that I run in OpenRails, one can find at least one of his locomotives. Thanks again to Nash and those repainting his creations.

Nash Welch is one of those follows who went under the radar for me. After reading your post I searched the file library for his name and got 59 responses.
A tip of the hat to Nash Welch.

It's pretty mind blowing with the level of detail Nash put into these models. Always has you wondering what else he's got coming our way.Kyle

That's why I consider his work such a great mystery......You never know what he has next.....And I am highly enjoying the sounds he has coming out as well....I hope he comes out with some new sounds for the ES44's and SD70ACe's...those are long over dueRoburt

Yes, Nash's sound packs are great, too. I kinda wish that he had a Patreon account. He is one of those contributors to the simming hobby to whom I would gladly send a contribution.Comment

Outstanding realism between sounds, actions and appearance, Thanks NashKevin KelleherComment

He is also a great guy to chat with. A few times I have chatted with him, and managed to get a few things for some repaints. Speaking of. I need to get back to those.

Nash Welch impressed me when I saw his ORTS locomotives, He's the best freeware model creator, He was the 2nd to do 250 units because @ChandlerBranchRailfan/Daniel did, Thanks for what you've done, Nash, if you're reading this.Last edited by UP6706; 10-04-2026, 10:28.Clayton WongComment

Wow. I'm honestly finding it kind of hard to find the right words to say. I want to start by thanking every one of you for your kind words; reading through all the posts brought a smile to my face and really brightened my day. I'll be honest, I do sometimes have some self-doubt about the content I make, occasionally wondering if it's truly good enough. It's why any compliments I receive genuinely mean the world to me, and I do love making content for the community. Simply seeing the things I make being used and enjoyed is always such a great feeling and motivates me to keep making more. I'm truly honored that you guys hold me in such high regard, and as a personal rule of mine, I always like to stay humble about my work. You'll never see me "toot my own horn" and brag about anything I make.
Again, many thanks, guys, and I certainly plan to keep making more stuff for you all in the future! There are lots of things I plan to, or want to make, and still stuff I have yet to release!
Note: I'm a little late posting this, which was originally going to be posted a while ago. I got a UTI, which knocked me down for a good bit among some other stuff going on. Been real busy around here lately with the move coming up soon.

I think I speak for most of the guys here when I say this......Your health and well being comes before anything else....you focus on your health and I hope your move goes smoothly and painless as possible. And I look forward to see your next release. High Ball my friend.RoburtComment

If he creates a Patreon, it would be Fantastic he should use his name ETLW or East Texas Locomotive Works their Locomotives are magnificent I use their GE ET44AC and EMD SD70ACe Tier 4 models not to mention the EMD SD70M models they recently released that said I would like to know if they plan to offer a Metra EMD F40PHM-2 along with some Metra Passenger Cars
