[DEPRECATED] GE EF-4 Little Joe

Description
This is now included in the base game and no longer needs to be downloaded. I'm leaving it on the workshop for now to prevent any disrupted saves.


EF-4/800 class electric locomotive built by General Electric in the United States, starting in 1948. Originally ordered by the Soviet Ministry of Railways, they were unable to be delivered due to a US State Department ban on the export of strategic goods to the Soviet Union. Instead, three were sold to the South Shore Line, where they were known as 800s. Five were exported to the Companhia Paulista de Estradas de Ferro in Brazil. The remaining 12 were sold to the Milwaukee Road, where they were used in both passenger and freight operations and were given the name 'Little Joe Stalins' or 'Little Joes' for short.
  • Availabile in USD
  • Years 1948-1967
  • Power: 4100 kW
  • Speed: 109 km/h
  • Weight 217 t

Liveries included:

Thanks to AlexDad and LovelyPL for the guides.

If you'd like to see another livery or new vehicle made, feel free to leave any suggestions.
--------
Notes: In real life, the locomotive weighs about 247 tons. Due to the way the game calculates vehicle costs, this would make it nearly triple the price of almost any other electric locomotive in the game. 217 keeps it an expensive option but not prohibitive. If absolute realism is a must, you can always change the weight in the script file. Realistic years of availability would be 1948-1950, which would restrict it to early start games, not to mention an annoyingly short opportunity to purchase.

i cant seem to find the textures for this in the train folders for the base game, and this seems to be a common issue for vehicles that where once mods but then added into the base game. do you know where i could find it?

If we consider the alternate history where these were exported to the Soviet Union (probably if Henry Wallace was Vice President in FDR's last term), maybe you could follow it up with the next GE electric locomotive, the EP-5?

this is awesome! (this is turning out to be my favorite praise for mods!)
imagine if there had been no cold war, but a mutual understanding between the US and the USSR, followed by multiple trade opportunities! I wonder how many more of this kind of exchange we might have had!?
would it be possible to make a couple more fictionnal liveries (similar liveries, but with different numbers on them, for example?), so that one might be able to imagine that export from the US never was forbidden, or that soviet espionage was able to bring the plans back and put these into production?
Thanks a lot!!!

Great locomotive, thank you! There is distinctive lack of GG-1 on the workshop for quite a long time. Maybe you would like to add it next?

Great <3

Could you make some more of the few American locomotives that actually HAVE been to Europe? I know that General Morter made someone with Nohab.

Sexy! We haven't had any vintage locomotives for a while. Perhaps a GG1? That is the *ultimate* in classic electric rail.
