EMD GP7 - Santa Fe

Description
This mod adds an EMD GP7 with Santa Fe livery for 3 eras:

Available Paint Scheme
--------- -------------------------------------------------------
1950-1960 Black & White ('Zebra Stripe')
1960-1972 Dark blue with yellow ends ('Bookends')
1972-1996 Blue & yellow ('Yellowbonnet')

The EMD GP7 is a four-axle road switcher diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division and General Motors Diesel between October 1949 and May 1954. The EMD GP7 was the first model in EMD'S GP (General Purpose) series of locomotives.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe received 245 GP7's between September 1950 and December 1953.

Technical Details:
- Max Speed: 65 mph (105 kph)
- Power: 1,500 horsepower (1,119 kW)
- Tractive Effort: 61,500 lbf (274 kN)
- Cost: (determined by game)
- Availability: (based on era)

Notes:
- This mod adds new vehicles to the game without altering anything currently existing in the game.
- This is a repaint of Urban Games EMD GP9. Without model rework, there are some inaccuracies.

Known Issues:
- The in-cab camera points backwards. This is to do with original model being oriented long hood forward.
- The multi-unit icon shows everything on 2nd unit backwards, including logos and wording. This is because game is using only one icon image and flipping it for the 2nd unit.
- Adding a custom color to unit may look strange. This is because custom colors are not intended, yet that feature wasn't disabled in this mod.

Dislaimer:
Use this mod at your own risk. I accept no responsibility for damages to software or hardware.

@extremegaming344 - After looking into it, I changed my mind and started work on 'Nickel Plate Road' EMD GP9. Should be up on workshop later today (12/19).

@extremegaming344 - Will add Northern Pacific and Nikelplate Road to my list. Currently working on some freight cars, so may be a while.

dwebster73, can't wait until you do master the 3D modeling. I tried years ago with GMAX and Flight Sim 2004 but found out that I broke things better than I could make them so I decided to leave modeling to those that were smarter and more patient than I am.

Than's agin for the paint job.

@MFC-03 - Thanks you. Santa Fe rebuilt most of their GP9's with the low nose for better visability. To do that would require 3D model work. Unfortunately I'm not that good at 3D modeling in Blender yet. Therefore, I opted to do this mod as GP7's to avoid alterations such as the low nose, dynamic brakes, and steam generators. As I get better with 3D modeling, I hope to fix all the "Known Issues" and do more challenging projects.

These look like the ones that ran near my house when I was a kid in the 60's. Excelent job.

I know that you just do repaints but has anyone ever considered making a low nose Geep? Not all roads went with the high nose on the short hood back in the day as the shorter one had greater visibility. Anyway, love the paint, something about the yellow and blue they used back then, there is actually an EMD road switcher here in town that still has the blue and yellow pre merger paint with the only thing BNSF os the circled cross on the nose. Everything else is proudly Santa Fe.
