A new GP9 add-on is available on my website, featuring the entire GP9 'Lightning Stripe' liveried roster of the New York Central railroad. That is eight subclasses of passenger and freight units, in two paint schemes, with long- and short hood forward running versions.

When Lightning Strikes

The New York Central had a very striking paint scheme (if you pardon the pun). Here's my model of it on the new GP9s.

I recommend uninstalling any existing older versions of the model before adding the new one.

Doodlebug Cab

Adding details to the engine block. This is the camera view from the engineer's seat (yes, they really sat that close to the engine on the real MW #31). Must have been quite a noisy and smelly work place, health and safety regulations sure have come a long way since then.

Revisiting an old model

The model of Montana Western #31, an EMC "Doodlebug" Gas-Electric railcar, was one of my earlier models in Railworks, which clearly shows when comparing it to more recent rail vehicle models. An update was needed and has been started last night. The screenshots below show the updated exterior model of the Doodlebug, with tweaked textures, new wheels, better shaders and material settings in use.

T3 Insider Info

WIP screenshot of the T3's interior. Those grey metal 'bins' under the (plastic) seats contain the heating, so it is always pretty warm and comfortable in the winter.
