$100 Modder's Donation for United States Locomotive Mods Request

I'm new to this game, but since I started playing this game i been having a blast creating my own railway despite the map size (compare to similar games), Nevertheless. I do find the lack of more locomotives assets, mainly steam, shocking, So I'm putting $100 on the line for someone to create FUNCTIONAL locomotives from my list below (meaning: can buy from the depot). I will donate the $100 to the modder who not only take on the project, but create functioning, no bug locomotive mods.

It took me a week to go through each locomotive wiki and American-rails.com to find what locomotives to put onto my list.

Are you paying 100$ per item on the list or for all items on the list?

There is a lot of work in modelling. First a lot of reference pictures must be found. One picture isn't enough, but pictures from many different angles and closeup on details. This alone can take a few days find.

Texturing is a lot of work with many separate layers and maps for Normal, glossy, metal, reflection, diffuse, emitting etc. Then rust & dirt maps for ageing.

Animations for wheels, doors, rods etc.

Various engine sounds.

And one model isn't just one mesh. One model is actually 3 models if you should have all 3 LOD levels.

Then there are all the scripts that has to be written and tested!

Many people thinks that a good quality modding is done in a few hours, max a day, but it takes weeks. I'm not sure if anyone will spend weeks of work for 100$ (I guess it depends on what you usually earns). Would be interesting to see if anyone here is willing to help you for that price :)

Don't get me wrong, your intention is good and shows that you appreciate the work being done.
