Sierra Railroad 4-6-0

This has been filling a nice 1890's niche for me among other mod and vanilla locos, adds a little variety in that power/speed range. Hey I noticed the tender lettering renders kinda funny tho if the loco has a paint colour applied. It's like ghosting the letters in more than one place. Have you noticed this?

All you need to do now is add a option that can make it explode, and a Delorean, and we can remake back to the future.

Awesome, In A ton of movies. Right up the hill from me in tiny town of Jamestown in Rail Town park next to Sonora.

@shadowfaxe7, I know it sounds like a demand, but I would never make one. I greatly appreciate modders for what they do (cuz I know jack shit about it). If I phrased it wrong, then that's my mistake.

@power man, I never meant this list as a demand, its the first thing I say. It's more a list of engines that any modder can look at for inspiration if they need that.

@olaf.reininga, being demanding will only decrease your popularity im afraid

@olaf.reininga

Right... 'cause all that shit doesn't come off as a demand AT ALL -snort-

Please regard this post as a tip, not as a demand. I know and you know that you love making engines which are from before the start date (don't worry those loco's are also my favourite) or just after it. There also is a consideral lack of early game american content, what with having to choose between the base 0-6-0, 4-4-0 and 2-8-0, the Virginia 4-4-0 and your 4-4-0's and 0-8-0. I also know that there are some loco's preserved in America older then any of those listed above (Yes, Stourbridge Lion is older. No, I am not refering to her since you already gave her life) and slighty after. So here are some locomotives I thought might sound interesting for the game (and which are not as complicated as that 0-8-0):

1: Old Ironsides. Baldwin's first. Pretty easy given that she is a Patentee (jee golly why would anyone choose otherwise).
2: Sandusky/some other Norris 4-2-0. Always found it kinda funny how the first basegame engine for Europe is one of these, while America has no engine of this, historicly speaking, very important type of engine. I chose Sandusky since I think she looks nicer then most other 4-2-0's, with the coupling rods between two frames, but any 4-2-0 would be a good addition to the game. Pioneer (not the 4-2-4 one) is also a good example.

3: The Lion. No, not LMR No.57, but the one from across the pont (for me atleast). Simply speaking: niche 0-4-0 tender engine with the coupling rods inbetween the frames, and with a fresh green look and one of them wide American smokestacks.
4: B&O York & Late Grasshopper(John Hancock). I say late grasshopper because the first batch (of which Atlanic is one) are just the same but without the cab and the siderods, which I think make the class look better overal. Also one of these later grasshoppers is preserved in original condition while the current Atlantic is a replica based on a later grasshopper. York is almost identical, but predates the grasshoppers altogether and I like the way she looks.
