The Rock Island is alive and well and in great hands!

Looks superb, I note that the right hand (numbered 1106) even has a name.

I am curious,is the A/C unit on top of the cab a child-object,or an integral part of the mesh? I have not purchased the routes,but would consider it to get these non-dynamic 38s.

The AC unit is NOT a child object.

Yep, the NEW Rock Island has 4 engines now on the MSDR, 2x GP38’s, a GP15-1, and a GP30...and 3 more on the GRR.. They’ve come along way in just 3 short years.....

Despite what was stated in the YouTube video, fascinating though it is, neither of the GP38s were Rock Island locos. RI never had any GP38s only GP38-2s dating from 1976. Those in the video were from 1969. Still great to see. After the bankruptcy RI paid out, eventually, 100 cents on the dollar, not many do/did that.
