Sid Meiers Railroads Forums.

Well I was trying something different than Steam engines and this is it

Its an all new model, made from scratch - besides parts of the trucks - of the ALCO PA/PB-1 Class with ATSF Paintsheme.

Version 1.0:

- seperate side textures without decals (I can provide a blank texture if needed, just PM me)
- detailed trucks (about 1/3 of the polygons)
- Polygon Count: PA-1 7627 , PB-1 6875
- 3 Versions (PA-1 Single, Dual PA-1, PA-1 & PB-1)

Pictures:

These Engines are now In the Engine Building Blocks Forum Here in this Post and the 2 Following Posts below it.

Beautiful! Should be able to work up the skins for those when asked for (within allotted time frame) or when I feel like it.

There were 18 railroads that owned them:

Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe - B
Delaware & Hudson (PA-4 remanu)
Denver & Rio Grande Western - B
Erie
Gulf Mobile & Ohio
Lehigh Valley
Missouri-Kansas-Texas
Missouri Pacific
NdeM
New York Central - B
New York Chicago & St. Louis(Nickel Plate)
New York New Haven & Hartford
Pennsylvania - B
St. Louis-Southwestern
Southern Pacific - B
Texas & New Orleans (SP)
Union Pacific - B
Wabash

The 'B' is for those that owned PB-1s. There are some nice models to work from at various model shops, tho they have all of them with PB-1s. A couple also did Amtrak paint jobs tho I cannot find an actual photo anywhere......

I will be working up one and doing a Construction Kit for them.

In working up the Construction Kits for these I found a minor error. When you wrote up the name tag you wrote them as 'PA_PB' and 'PA_PA' but when it came to the TextKey section you wrote them up as 'PA-PB' and PA-PA'. The engines will work, but the text will not show up in the roundhouse.

Oh.. thanks for that, I thought they were copy&paste from my XML. Guess not hehe.

Anyway, updated the files with this minor fix 1.0b
