@donk, theres actually a mod that breaks multiple units up into separate locomotives or cars. for realism's sake, all parts actually are needed and cant operate independently (except for the tender ofc). The A unit only provided yard service, and past 15mph(?) the turbine unit would kick on.

But if thats what you desire to do, definitely look into the breaking multiple unit mod.

Hello, I’m a big fan of your mods, especially the GTEL mod. I have a suggestion to improve it: could you break the GTEL train into three separate parts—Engine, B Unit, and Tender? This way, we could add just the engine, B unit, or tender individually. For realism, it would be great if the engine wouldn’t work alone and would require the tender, and vice versa for the B unit. Also, if only the engine or B unit is added, they should each have half the power and tractive effort of the full GTEL train, while maintaining the same speed. Lastly, I suggest that for every engine and B Unit or two b units, only one tender should be needed. I hope you’ll consider these changes. Thanks!

SomaTGW 12 Nov, 2022 @ 6:34pm 
YES this is exactly the thing I needed in my game to complete it

ye i can do that
themeatballhero  [author] 26 Apr, 2021 @ 3:18pm 
NEVER
rose4100 26 Apr, 2021 @ 3:12pm 
I love the model, love the history behind it (never knew this existed!). But... could you release a version that won't destroy my ears? I play with a headset and it's migrane inducing. May with standard diesel sound without the turbine squeel.

Missouri Pacific Enthusiast 25 Apr, 2021 @ 4:12pm 
the tenders would also work for making 4014's excursion
themeatballhero  [author] 25 Apr, 2021 @ 11:38am 
Hmmm I'll look into that, not a bad idea though
KiddBoston 25 Apr, 2021 @ 11:23am 
This is usually considered a dumb question, but can we get a colorable version of this? Great mod!
n.chiri 25 Apr, 2021 @ 5:44am 
Gorgeous. Thanks!

Just in time as I'm finishing an appropiate save for it.

Blessed be Armour Yellow! Thanks for the bonus water tender too.
