Will this be coming out for TpF2?

@sakkkuth @Maik saw thiis comment, while it is a few mods down my list, the 3rd gen is on it. Depending by the time it becomes first, will depend on if its TpF1 or TpF2

Interesting idea. I have to check this. The 2nd and 3Rd Gen is not on my list yet. I can make the 3D model but I need some help for the textures.

This is a hoot! Thank you for bringing this oddball to the game.

So, i noticed the sound for this is a diesel engine..... So i edited the game file for this to use the aircraft_jet_old sound file that the comet uses..... Oh man that bought a smile to my face, makes it sound like a jet turbine then :)

I really hope a 3rd gen comes to exist, that would be perfect :)

For anyone who wants to see this in prototypical use, it was someone teamed with the Challenger or big boy for heavier trains!

Love this mod, one of my most used freight engines, any chance we will see the 2nd and possibly 3rd generation models

@ChevyKing_3 - Screw you! Everyone is FREE to write whatever they want. So DON'T get in his business!

@Expression You say the same shit in every post you put up.

If you could just make the 1st Generation GTEL colorable and use the logos from the game as that fits my expectations better, then that would be amazing! Love these locos but it's just that they are railroad dependant.
MaikC  [author] 12 Dec, 2017 @ 9:59am 
It's a interesting Loco. I'll put it on my long list. Also the GTEL Version B + C are not "out of the race". Just have some other project's iam working on.
Mr Jay 12 Dec, 2017 @ 5:13am 
Maik. Yeah your right, I just assumed the A unit was the same frame/body. Its not at all! Would you consider it though as a future project?

Also have you seen the GTEL Coal Turbine? This would make a nice addition to the game. The A unit is a standard Alco PA-1.

MaikC  [author] 11 Dec, 2017 @ 3:12pm 
Sorry, no that's not planned, because it's not just some small tweaking. The only thing that fits from the front part of the locomotive is the nose, the whole Lok is a bit shorter, has different bogies, different roof structures and a different frame. Also the turbine part # 2 must be completely built and a new tender. That would be as like as 2.8 new modells.
Mr Jay 11 Dec, 2017 @ 11:59am 
Any chance of doing the Union Pacific GTEL 8500 HP "Big Blow". It would only mean small mods to the primary unit here and a B unit.

It's kinda crazy to think that this has more horsepower than some modern locomotives, though nowhere near the efficiency.
MaikC  [author] 28 Jul, 2017 @ 7:55am 
he GTEL has carried 24,000-US gallon (91,000 l) bunker C heavy fuel oil in the tender.
MysticDaedra 28 Jul, 2017 @ 6:47am 
Haha well it kinda works from a realism perspective too, diesel engines would have and do carry fuel, although perhaps not in a seperate wagon. Anyhow, love your mod, looks and works great! Thanks for sharing it!
MaikC  [author] 28 Jul, 2017 @ 6:11am 
The 1 fuel has to do with TPF "logic". The game crashes when you have a vehicle (wagon or locomotive) that has neither engines nor goods. Since I had to bring the locomotive for other reasons as a multiple unit into the game, counts the tender as a wagon and needed a payload (or engines) I have decided for 1 fuel ;)
MysticDaedra 28 Jul, 2017 @ 5:44am 
The model looks fantastic, but I'm curious as to the tanker, it accepts fuel but only one unit... I'm assuming it isn't actually meant to be used with fuel?
Masked Rider Saber 12 Jul, 2017 @ 10:48am 
I think he's refering to the UP 4-8-4 'Northern' type 844; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Pacific_844
MaikC  [author] 9 Jul, 2017 @ 5:10am 
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/844
I don't know what a 844 should be
Sasha Klimov 9 Jul, 2017 @ 4:33am 
but can you do the 844
Sasha Klimov 9 Jul, 2017 @ 4:33am 
k thats fine
:steamhappy:
MaikC  [author] 8 Jul, 2017 @ 1:32pm 
No chance for that at the moment but i work on a GE U50 and a DDA40X Centenial
Mr Jay 8 Jul, 2017 @ 11:10am 
Some 3rd Gen GTELs would be great!
Sasha Klimov 25 Jun, 2017 @ 1:39am 
and can you do the wp gp35 and the gp20 high nose
Sasha Klimov 25 Jun, 2017 @ 1:38am 
and do the gas turbine from train simulator 2016
and also the new jersey p42 and the bombardier and single deck coaches and cab coaches from train simulator 2017
Sasha Klimov 25 Jun, 2017 @ 1:35am 
pls do the 844
Rafn 12 May, 2017 @ 8:07am 
But what if the CEO of Union Pacific within my game is feeling spunky and wants their trains to be blue... or red... or bright pink? okay... maybe not bright pink :)

If you want an example of how it would look, you should check out the GP9 Union Pacific repaint - the UP livery looks great no matter what color ;)
MaikC  [author] 12 May, 2017 @ 7:39am 
It's intentional that there is no option for a color change. Union pacific locomotives are yellow, always;)
Rafn 10 May, 2017 @ 8:09pm 
Finally made it to the mordern ages in my game and got to use these. Amazing job - very cool train :) Would like to have color options, but hardly the end of the world since the default yellow is nice.
Dell Conagher 4 Apr, 2017 @ 9:24am 
Maik, what about vessels?
MaikC  [author] 4 Apr, 2017 @ 8:45am 
Maybee the 2nd gen it's just a bit of rework. At the moment I have the 3D-Modell for the GE U50 (Southern Pacific) nearly finished .
Akuma Urufu 3 Apr, 2017 @ 12:26pm 
Thinking of making the other generation GTELs?
Major_Depression 26 Mar, 2017 @ 1:29pm 
Can you think about making A hudson
MaikC  [author] 12 Mar, 2017 @ 7:01am 
Steam-Loco's are not my favourites ;) never tried one. But the M1 looks interesting.
Caterpillar Diesel Power 11 Mar, 2017 @ 6:27am 
yes up 844 please it will bring joy to us
Dell Conagher 11 Mar, 2017 @ 1:59am 
What would you guys say about Union Pacific serial number UP 844?
michweid 9 Mar, 2017 @ 12:38pm 
ok, im just gald to see some modders making american stuff, i look forward to seeing those other projects;) the Gtel ingame is great, i love playing right around the 30s-70s because the biggest steam enignes are present and the diesels are taking over, i figured making them now wouldnt be possible, but i was hoping down the line sometime as both of those to engines seemded to represent the top of there types in style and power
:)
MaikC  [author] 9 Mar, 2017 @ 5:29am 
@michweid you can write english to if it is easier for you. I have never made a Steam-Loko, the PRR 6200 looks interesting but I have some other projects running ;) The 3rd. Gen GTEL is a near complete rebuild, so at the moment im happy to present the 1st gen.
michweid 8 Mar, 2017 @ 6:31pm 
Da hast du amerikanische Modelle, gibt es irgendeine Chance, dass du die PRR 6200 Dampfturbine und die 3. Generation GE GTEL mit 8500HP machen kannst?
Liebe google übersetzen;)
Nails Nathan 8 Mar, 2017 @ 11:36am 
Thank you, very much.
MaikC  [author] 8 Mar, 2017 @ 8:46am 
Thanks to the user 'Lange' from TransportFever-Forum, I have located the issue with ctd at loading screen and have fixed it.
{AGC} T Man 8 Mar, 2017 @ 2:49am 
mate I love it, great job, looks good to me. Keep up the good work bro
Connyxy 8 Mar, 2017 @ 1:21am 
Sehr schönes Modell , freu mich auf mehr US-Modelle.
MaikC  [author] 7 Mar, 2017 @ 11:45pm 
You can write in english at the forum and there is a button somethere to change the forum layout to english too ;)
But it looks like there are some german people have the problem to. I have posted in the forum that she should give me the information, i have to wait for answers. For me the GTEL works fine. So I can't fix that don't happened on my TPF. :steamsad:
TrainswithNick 7 Mar, 2017 @ 6:58pm 
Unfortunately my German is almost non existant so I cannot even work out which thread I need in the forum on Transportfever.net but I too am having issues with the game crashing upon loading with this mod activated.
seabs 7 Mar, 2017 @ 5:05pm 
Thanks, sorry. I should've looked first. :v
MaikC  [author] 7 Mar, 2017 @ 5:03pm 
Thx all for the commendations
[F-B] Papa Seaboard / J M T 625 - Please read the description, there is no B-Unit at this locomotive, you talk about the 3rd series and they look much different.

For all who have crashes,
I have no glasphere please come to https://www.transportfever.net/ and we will see if we can help. I need mor Info's. There should no other mod interfere with this one.

To the Superliners, very soon. Look here:
