Pending Updates

Due to recent changes within the Trainz community, some of the dependencies that are required for my locos have gone missing. I'm currently in the process of hunting down these missing dependencies or replacing them with others.

I'll update the download links or upload new files and will update this post when the corrections have been made.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. I'll try to get everything sorted as soon as possible.

[Edit: 11/24/2011]

New files have been uploaded.

I was unable to locate the old dependencies, so I substituted them with others. I also made some changes to the config files to make them more TS12 friendly.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

USLW, Projects, & Other Stuff

Unfortunately, due to circumstances that I - along with the majority of the Trainz community - don't fully understand, U.S. Locomotive Works (USLW) has been shut down indefinitely. This is a sad loss for the Trainz community and we hope it will return in the near future.

I have added Southern Atlantic Transportation (SAXT) to the links list (FINALLY!!!). SAXT provides quality assets for Trainz and we're fortunate to have these great content creators be a part of the Trainz community.

All Blawnox LW projects are on hold due to real world commitments. Long story short, school and work are taking up most of my free time. I hope to resume some of my pending projects during the holidays. Sorry.

Part 2 of my AWVR project is complete. As I am using RRMods models, I have sent Joram24 (RRMods administrator) all of the files to be hosted at RRmods. Joe is a busy guy, however, so it may be a while before the files are put up for download. Once they are up, I'll post a link in the downloads page.

[Edit: 10/05/2011]

USLW was bought by the folks at JointedRail and is up and running again! Thanks JR for keeping this site up for the community to enjoy!

West Coast Trainz

Frank McCall (SPorBust) has regrettably decided to close down his site, West Coast Trainz. No word yet as to whether the content he had on his site will be hosted somewhere else or not.

The horn sound for the AWVR MP15s was hosted at Frank's site and I'm unable to find it elsewhere. For those of you looking to download these engines, fear not. I've found a substitute horn and have updated the files.

This is a sad loss for the Trainz community and we hope he will be back in the foreseeable future.

[Edit: 09/02/2011]

Frank McCall is back! His new site can be found here!

DLS Downloads

The download page now includes links to the DLS items each engine needs. Don't forget them!

Due to the unique way Auran (N3V) runs things, if you do not have access to the DLS, feel free to substitute whatever you are missing for something else.

AWVR GEs fixed

OK, everyone. I think I finally got rid of the stupid texture errors for the GE units.

Also, I changed a few small things in the config files so that now there's only one version of each engine, rather than two as before (one for 2006, the other for 2009/2010).

If you were having problems with the GEs, you can download them again.

Sorry for the mess, but sometimes Trainz can be a pain...

AWVR Part 1 Fixed

Hey everyone,

I've uploaded updated files for the AWVR locomotives. Users of TRS2006 are encouraged to download them again (not necessary for users of TS2009/2010 as the problem only applied to older versions of Trainz).

Sorry again for the mix up!

AWVR Part 1 Released!

The first set of locomotives from my AWVR project are out! Get them on the download page!

Big thanks to SPorBust and bdaneal for the models!

Part 2 will be released as soon as I finalize some details with Joram24.

EDIT: Go figures, I always forget something. Those of you running versions of Trainz older than 2009 may find that the GE locomotives won't work. This is because the engine sound file I used is for version 2009 and up. I meant to switch it out for one that's compatible with 2006, but I forgot.

Sorry about that, I'll upload updated files tomorrow.

EDIT 2: For those running Trainz older than 2009, there's a little work around you guys can try to get the GE units working. Open the engine sound file for edit in explorer. Open the config text file in notepad and change the trainz-build number from 2.9 to 2.4.

Sorry again for the mix up.

[WIP] AWVR has a Cadillac!

Another one on its way out of the shop...

AWVR EMD SD9 high hood "Cadillac": 300 - 303 (Phase I)

[WIP] More AWVR Equipment

Got another set of engines MOSTLY done.

AWVR EMD GP35 high hood: 100 - 109 (Phase I)

AWVR EMD GP40 high hood: 500 - 506 (Phase I)

AWVR EMD SD45: 3200 - 3202 (Phase I)

The SD45 looks a little faded because of how Mesh Viewer renders the textures.

Still need to touch up some details.

[WIP] Allegheny West Virginia Railroad (AWVR)

This is the project I'm currently working on; the Allegheny West Virginia Railroad (AWVR) from the 2010 Tony Scott film Unstoppable, starring Denzel Washington, Chris Pine, Rosario Dawson, and Kevin Dunn.

In addition to recreating the locomotives seen in the film, I have also expanded on the AWVR roster to include additional locomotives.

AWVR EMD GP38: 1000 - 1013 (Phase Ib)

AWVR EMD GP38: 2000 - 2013 (Phase I)

AWVR EMD GP38-2: 1600 - 1792 (Phase I)

AWVR EMD GP38-2: 4700 - 4718 (Phase IIb)

AWVR EMD GP40: 8500 - 8516 (Phase Ib)

AWVR EMD GP40: 2200 - 2243 (Phase I)

AWVR EMD GP40: 2300 - 2323 (Phase IIb)

AWVR GE C44-9W: 6647 - 6652 (Phase III)

AWVR GE C44-9W: 6700 - 6713 (Phase IIIb)

AWVR EMD SD70ACe: 3500 - 3509 (Phase IIIb)

AWVR GE ES44AC/AC4400EV: 7600 - 7613 & 767 (Phase III)

Most of these engines (not all, sorry) will come with automatic running numbers (ARN).

There are other engines that will be added to the roster soon, including GP40 high hood, GP35 high hood. Might also add Matruck's SW1200 and Cozmo's GP30.
