Maybe an update of your FA-1?

I have that one on the list too.

Beautiful work! Love seeing the oddball units coming to Railworks. Only wish we had the DL109 !

I'd like to thank you for all you've done for a us. You've created so many odd ball and even quite popular locomotives I could never see DTG doing. Each add-on becoming better and better. It's awesome to have someone like you in the community.

[Chacal]

Awesome.
I'm so jealous.
Please make it easy to repaint, Mannu.
Maybe a repaint kit?

We'll need several liveries: NYC, Monongahela, DH, etc.
Especially weathered versions, as these locos were workhorses that were beaten to death hauling coal.

As I usually do several versions of each model I always try to keep them easy to repaint. I think I will make at leadt the NYC version without the roof antenna.

[Chacal]

Great! The NYC version, with the grey "lightning bolt" stripe, is the best-looking livery.
Maybe someone will do the well-known DH livery.
I've been in contact with Jay WInn who designed it, even purchased his sound recordings, and I'll bet he would love seeing them alive again.

Holy S! Never thought I would see the day haven't been this excited about a diesel in a long time. As Chacal mentioned the NYC version is a must and these will sell like hot cakes. With the NYC we can do the Monongahela Railway and the D&H you have a variety of routes they can be ran on. Here is a snippet from Wikipedia about the Monongahela's Sharknose's that were aquired from the NYC.

The line gained its greatest level of attention from railfansnationwide[citation needed] when it received the last nine Baldwin RF-16 Sharknose locomotives in known existence from theNew York Central Railroad on the eve of the Penn Central merger in late 1967. The last two, numbers 1205 and 1216, were sold for scrap in 1974 but subsequently rescued for use on the Delaware and Hudson.

and those two still exist albeit under lock and key.

[Chacal]

What remains of them.
This is the last known picture of 1205.
It was already a rust bucket in 1988.
27 years ago.

This looks great, but I can't even run my version of the Alco FA-1 because the main controls in the cab won't move by mouse or move by the keyboard, was there ever a fix for that by the way.

My problem with that one is I can only move the throttle from the hud, and not by the mouse or the buttons.


Hope to get this one later, but I hope it won't have the same problem since I really would like to be able to enjoy the Alco FA1.

Some recent images showed up, they are removed though back in Sept. someone got permission or was a close friend of his.

[Chacal]

Gaaaah!
You haven't got a copy?

I started working on the FAs last week. When done you will no longer have that problem.
