    No, is not. 120km/h is the speed limit on a highway here in Spain (around 75 mph) , 50km/h is the speed limit on a town.
    For help, 1 mile is around 1,6 km if I remmeber it corectly, I never understood Imperial, only metric.

    He knows, but was talking funny.

    Form of humor where one states silly thing that is so obvious people pick that up and find it funny.

    Fun works when you can understand the language thats being used as well as your mother language. I can't do it because I had to take english seriusly in order to understand it, so jokes for me are hard to pick unless they are obvius enough. Also the social part of my brain is dead and buried, thats why Im a lonely person and makes the whole fun things to say harder in spanish, so you can imagine how in english is another whole level. But hey, If you say that is a joke, even if I can't find the fun on it by lack of ability or orthewise, its ok. Im sorry for being the boring one. I'm still learning a foregeing language. I hope you spare me and I wish you a good day.

    Progress:
    Green = Done
    Orange = WIP
    Red = Not started
    Purple = Stupid ideas

    Cab interior
    Glass

    Jbeam
    Engine room

    Powertrain
    Different exhausts
    Different horns, beacon lights and headlights
    Pretty much everything else

    Racing parts (spoilers, wings, rockets, front splitters)
    Ram plow
    Heavy duty semi wheels instead of trucks/bogies and steering to make it drivable on normal roads
    A trumpet horn



    You don't need racing parts tires and a horn that sounds like a trumpet...
    those plans are totally out of the question. we like realism not dumb junk.

    what you need: horns, beacons, headlights, engine room, jbeam and powertrain. not a ricer locomotive... and can it not say "ONION pacific"?

    Why couldn't my mod have parts that are not so realistic? It's my mod, not yours. I wouldn't call them "dumb junk". The locomotive already has 8 realistic skins and I'm making more. I just haven't posted them here. Also I don't use real names because they are copyrighted.

    They're based on real paint schemes, only the logos are changed

    I'm not sure, but I think @BeamDrifter may want to post this on the repository, since the model is completely made by him. You can't use real names if you want to upload anything to the repository.

    Santa Fe all the way

    No, it's not Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, it's Arizona, Texas & Santa Fe.


    Burlington Southern & Santa Fe (Burlington Northern & Santa Fe in real life)


    Eastern Pacific (Southern Pacific in real life)

    A colorable skin. The 1st color slot is for the body, the 2nd slot is for the frame and the 3rd slot is for the trucks.





    GT-R

    Q-type radiator fans

    Normal radiator fans


    Engine room should be finished



    Completely remade the truck jbeam. Spring stiffness, ride height etc. can now be adjusted. Ride quality is so much better.
    Stance springs

    Rally springs


    This picture should explain how the suspension works. Basically the wheel with the axle box can move up and down on the slidenode rails.



    Knock knock, who's there? Over revving the engine is a bad idea. It can really explode.

    How well does it turn?
    I have a multi-axle thing in the works and it needs slidenodes for the middle wheels(if we are talking about 3 axles) in order to keep the turning radius realistic.
    Real trains have axles that slide to the left and right a bit if there are 3 or more axles on a single bogie/frame. Do you have that too or did you find another way?

    Also, nice work on it so far :) It is good to see the jbeam progress :)

    Surprisingly it can turn very tight corners. I believe that the axle boxes can move around a bit because I didn't set the slidenode spring very high.
