U-Boat 3 pack (LEGACY)

(NOTE: THIS MODEL IS A LEGACY MODEL. IT WONT RECIEVE ANY UPDATES SINCE THERE ARE MORE SUPERIOR VERSIONS OUT THERE)

Another release? Well, here is another extension to the U-boat fleet with 3 models in 1 pack, including the U18B, U23C and U33B.

The U33B came first before both in 1967 with 137 units ordered, most of which going to the valet5000 railroad, Penn Central. The unit didn't see many sales however due to the railroading industry moving away from 4-axle roadswitchers. The U23C arrived 2 years later in 1968 with a total of 223 units produced to compete with the SD38. While it did have a 12-cylinder engine, it didn't gather much sales, and they were superceeded by the U30C. The U18B's were late-production units, being built in 1973 and ended production in 1976, with 150 units built. Being nicknamed "Baby Boats", they were the shortest U-boats in North America being intended for light branchline use. Sadly, they only grew a reputation for being under-powered, reliability issues and a rough ride, making it an enemy towards crews.

The U18B does survive on smaller railroads, more notably on the PICKENS Railroad in North Carolina, while the U23C's have been phased out of service. However, Brazil does roster a handful of secondhand U23C's from other roads, and an L&SI U23C does survive at the Arkansas Railway Museum in Pine Bluff, AK. Sadly, no U33B's are reported to have survived in any shape-or-form.

In this pack includes 2 roads each per unit, including the MRS from Brazil, plus a bonus Vanilla version, and also featuring MU cables (rest of the boats will have them from this point on, earlier models will get update eventually).

(If anyone finds any bugs with the U18B UV, let me know)
