It's quite of machine indeed, but its costs are quite high compared to default steam engines so it does slow a bit the progress I guess. But yea I know what you mean by that, I don't want to make it appear later though since this was available in 1860s :)

Hey. I know people enjoy having a powerhouse like this so early in the game but this locomotive is single-handedly responsible for somewhat ruining a save game of mine, exactly because of too early access to it. Basically it's 1880 and I'm swimming in cash, I've built all the bridges I wanted already and have a rail network across 40+ towns on a 6k map. By the time I get to electrics there won't be any point in playing anymore because I'll have so much cash and barely anything to spend it on. I know that all I have to do is "just" not use it, but introducing it 20 years later would be much more in line with the rest of the game :)

This locomotive maintains workhorse status on my railways right up until the Flying Scottsman is available, and it looks great doing it too. Kiitos!

It's time to invade finland

It would require lots of editing which I'm not too fussed about at the moment. There are lots of other models I want to do first. But if someone wants to give it a try, I give my permission to it :)

Here are the stats http://www.steamlocomotive.com/locobase.php?country=Canada&wheel=4-4-0&railroad=cpr

There is one on display at CPR headquarters. an A1e (so a slightly later model) http://www.steamlocomotive.com/whyte/4-4-0/Canada/photos/cpr29.jpg It was rebuilt in 1910 to it's current configuration.

It would have been painted like this a2, CPR 374 which is on display in Vancouver BC (minus the commemorative decal on the tender)

Lots more A1's and A2's throughout time.

Hope this helps

Thanks! Are there any pics how it was painted or were there other differences?

TheOneWhoIs 25 Apr, 2018 @ 5:17pm

Could you do a north americanised version? As this exact locomotive model was used by the Canadian Pacific Railway at the time (which is why it was chosen by the fins) that would be amazing! Love the work; I have most of your vehical mods running in my games.

Very nice

Rei'No Otoko 25 Apr, 2018 @ 9:41am

You know the longer life spawn of the engines doesn't seem to happen because of the shorter car periods .. it seems like in the game they are not treated seperate but the shortest is gone for. Maybe I'm luney but it sure seems like it and if you buy cars for the engine after say at five years the cars take the hit and since they have a shorter life spawn every thing become crippled.. In the end I opt for changing the whole train even if it is only a few cars need replacing, because I think or feel like the game is charging for the mix.. as one you don't see Engine report and car reports in the end year you only see train reports..

Rei'No Otoko 25 Apr, 2018 @ 9:35am

Another fine release.. The engine seems very deltailed sitting there on the tracks! ^ um the Nordic happened in Train Fever.. the first game.. It could happen again but I'd really go for an Asain theme.. just because they haven't had one..
