Great Northern GE 44 Ton Switcher; 08 DEC 2018.
Repaints by Rudi Jaeger, exclusively for DTG's payware Virtual New Haven Railroad (VNHRR) Springfield Line, which includes the required model for this repaint. Credits to the original DTG developer (Cesar Pach) for providing the textures which served as the foundation for these repaints.

Repaints of Great Northern GE 44 Ton Phase-I switchers. GN purchased 2 of the very first 4 Phase-1 44-tonners produced, numbers 5200 and 5201, from GE (serials 12910 and 12911) in September 1940. They were re-numbered 50 and 51 in 1943. Number 50 was assigned to Helena MT, and was sold to a construction company in November 1951. Number 51 was sold to a metal manufacturer in January 1948 and eventually made it's way to the Walkersville Southern Railroad in Maryland, for restoration. This repaint features non-driver versions and static numbering; number 50 is fairly clean, while number 51 has a worn appearance. Includes a folder containing optional coupler and hose textures (darker rusty metal), along with a backup folder containing the original textures (light primer-grey w/ rust).
------------------------------
Installation of the locomotive:
1. Ensure you have already installed the VNHRR Springfield Line.
2. Transfer the Assets folder (from this zip file) into your main Railworks folder. Note: There are no requirements to overwrite anything.
3. Copy the GE 44Ton_PhaseIc_NH.GeoPcDx file from the 'Engine' folder located here:
Railworks\Assets\VNHRR\Springfield\RailVehicles\GE44Ton-NH\RailVehicles\NH01\Engine
Then paste the GeoPcDx file into the "Engine" folder of the freshly installed "GN01" and "GN02" folders located here:
Railworks\Assets\VNHRR\Springfield\RailVehicles\GE44Ton-NH\RailVehicles\GN01\Engine
Railworks\Assets\VNHRR\Springfield\RailVehicles\GE44Ton-NH\RailVehicles\GN02\Engine
4. Copy the GE 44Ton_PhaseIc_CabNH.GeoPcDx file from the 'CabView' folder located here:
Railworks\Assets\VNHRR\Springfield\RailVehicles\GE44Ton-NH\RailVehicles\NH01\CabView
Then paste the GeoPcDx file into the "CabView" folder of the freshly installed "GN01" and "GN02" folders located here:
Railworks\Assets\VNHRR\Springfield\RailVehicles\GE44Ton-NH\RailVehicles\GN01\CabView
Railworks\Assets\VNHRR\Springfield\RailVehicles\GE44Ton-NH\RailVehicles\GN02\CabView
-------------------------------
Installation of the optional coupler and hose textures:
Note 1: If you already installed this option with a previous repaint, you can skip this step.
Note 2: This procedure will overwrite 2 existing files (Coupler.TgPcDx and Hoses.TgPcDx). The new files and an "Original Textures" backup folder will be installed to:
Railworks\Assets\VNHRR\Springfield\RailVehicles\GE44Ton-NH\Couplers\
You can always replace my files with the files in the "Original Textures" backup folder if you prefer. Okay, let's proceed with the one-step installation:
1. Open the "Optional Coupler_Hoses" folder located in this zip-file and copy the resulting Assets folder into your main Railworks folder, overwriting the two existing files when prompted.
~ Mission complete.
-------------------------------
When using the scenario builder, be sure to select "VNHRR" then check the box for "Springfield" from the right-side flyout panel. Locomotive will display in the scenario builder's "selected" assets menu (left-side flyout) as "GN GE 44Ton Early" and "GN GE 44Ton Worn"; non-driver versions are listed with the suffix "ND".
