Yes, and they're already done! MadMike1024 painted several SP versions of the Cadillac a long time ago, and then had to wait for me to complete the shape update. Now I'm stitching together the repaints, custom child objects, and main shape updates. They should be ready for release soon.

Here's the original topic: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=7293&hilit=sd7

With a few more days of developing time, there's also going to be a few SD9s joining the fleet of SD7s.


Great news! Is there any chance of a Southern Pacific variant?

Shut up! A Colorado and Southern unit is still floating around rostered? Good Lord, BNSF is hard up for power !*roll-laugh*!

From what I can tell from my sources, BNSF still has 17 SD9's on its roster. Chances are that 1 is still active and the rest are in storage like Anthony said.

Hi,

This one has been hiding on my HD since the early days of Stevens Pass route building, where I had planned to use this engine before the GP38s became available to us. In spite of its age, it's still an early WIP. Colors and many details are wrong.

I would attempt myself if I hadn't lost my PC, but maybe this if someone has the time?

Michael, MadMike, this is fantastic! Any SP route in the west wouldn't be complete without these. The 'full house' lighting package looks spot on!
