These models are New York Central reskins of Michael Stephan’s NH Rail Diesel Car. I created these skins for the awesome Boston & Albany route created by G-Trax. The freeware base model is available here: http://www.stephan-michael.de/railsim/p ... rdcnh.html
The Budd Company developed the self-propelled Rail Diesel Car (RDC) during 1949, and the RDCs began to appear on railroads in revenue service during the following year. Each railroad gave its RDCs a unique name; for example Boston & Maine’s cars were “Highliners,” while the B&O and the Susquehanna called their cars “Speedliners.” New York Central acquired 20 RDCs, named them “Beeliners,” and placed them in service on various lines throughout its system. The 200.4-mile route of the former Boston & Albany Railroad was one of the first locations where the Central operated RDCs.
Unzip and install using the included RW_AssetSetup.exe installer. The models install into Assets\VNHRR\BuddRDC\RailVehicles\Engines\Diesel\RDC\NYC and are listed in the scenario editor as “Budd RDC-1 NYC Psgr”.
