Hi MaikC, great work you done. Would you consider making also DD35 A and B, please?

Tolle Loks - wer Kraft und Sound liebt - unbedingt zu empfehlen.

Dear MaikC, Can you please make remod with the DDA40X, with new additions included and air conditioning unit on the engines roof and ditch lights under the front walkway, Number UP 6936.

The locomotives you mentioned all had one thing in common, they had less power than the EMD DDA40X.
The Alco 855 (4101kW) was built in 1964 but never mass-produced, there were only 2 (3) locomotives that were scrapped in 1972.
The DD35(A) with 3730kW was the predecessor of this locomotive, built in 1963/64.
The U50 (3700kW) was also introduced in 1963/64, the improved U50C was introduced together with the DDA40X. Due to many defects, all U50s, including C, were taken out of service just 5 years after delivery of the C Version, namely in 1976.

In the late 1960s, there are more powerful Diesel Locomotives, With the introduction of the GE U50s, EMD DD35 A & B units and ALCO Century 855 models for the Union Pacific Railroad.

@oldscout Done, take a look in the ingame menu / screenshots. Have fun!

I will do a little update. After that you can change that in the loadingmenu.

I love your mod, and would love to change it so that the engine never goes away after 1989. Can you tell me how to make that change in your mod files? I've been digging through your mod files, and the only place I can find 1989 is in the strings.lua file, and changing those dates don't make a difference.

On my current map I have all my big coal trains using this engine, and now unfortunately it's 1992, and I can't add another one.

Awesome! And the sound... ;-)

MaikC Do A Reversable EMD DDA40X - Centennial Please

great thanks

Currently having an issue where the union pacific skin will not show up.

Nice, I was looking for a 'modern' loco faster than 75 mph.

oh damn :-D, but I just don't feel like it

Yeah just like themeatballhero pointed. I already learned how to make a reversed version of my own, though. It's very easy.

我的都沒有在遊戲出現..

here's one i found: https://farm6.static.flickr.com/5797/21317139980_ca7888c65f_b.jpg

:)

Thanks all for Honours ;)
Reverse is not planned yet, never seen a photo/video with a reversed DDA40 pushing.

Great job, I was wondering when this was going to make an appearance in TPF2. Thank you!!

Woot! It's been a good few days for Diesel's. Thanks for bringing this to TF2, I love using it back in TF!

WOOOOO! love this engine, thanks maik!!!

Does this include a reversed version? I would like to have a double header with the rear loco facing backwards.

Haha, was a big missunderstanding have fun ;)

No no, I tried to say I won't need the version I converted myself. Obviously gonna use this instead of that.

@gamover Found it now thanks for the hint, update soon.

@n.chiri your choice, I didn't just chase the mod through the mod converter and then took the part as it was.
@gamover unfortunately I have no idea what you mean

emd_dda40x_grill.mtl - Need to update after the Converter:

map_albedo_opacity = {
fileName = "models/vehicle/train/emd_dda40x_user/emd_dda40x_grill.tga",
type = "TWOD",
wrapS = "REPEAT",
wrapT = "REPEAT",
},

I didn't notice it right away either :)

TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH

Ha, just today I converted the TPF1 mod for my personal use in my save with long freight trains. I guess I won't need that.

The yellow and gray are great colors. What a great looking locomotive. Thanks Maik
