Good morning everyone..
I Just uploaded the textures for the Britkits E-7 engines to the railworks america upload page. The files include textures for both the A and B E-7 units as well as a new sound set. The Sound set is not finished yet however, though it is better. The E-7 had high power low RPM engines, and i tried to duplicate that as well as i could. However, I'm still working on it.. The sound set i've included is not perfect nor prototypical. its better than it was, but i still have a lot of work to do. For starters, i cant hear the exhaust note that is so prevelant with these engines, and the dynamics need to be tuned so that the train is exerting the correct amount of friction on the rails and slows down correctly when the throttle is closed. This is an ongoing project and there will be updates so please stay tuned. in the meantime, i hope you enjoy this humble offering..
You will need at LEAST, David Cowens Base EMD-E7 engine. Its a free model and i highly recommend his work..
The textures for the smooth sided railcars are NOT included in this download. They are part of the PLC railcar Xtra-02 package available at a very reasonable price from Britkits.
This model does NOT fly the Mopac flying eagle shields seen on the nose. The reason for that is because each of the Mopac Eagles carried a special emblem designating the state the train was named for. The texas eagle for example, carried a Lone white star in a red diamond as its shield. Since none of the Eagles are flying any more ( They are all in UP Yellow and grey now ) i chose to, instead of recognizing just one of them, to honor them all. Therefore, this train flies the mopac Eagle, but not the shield..
Enjoy :0
