Timken Four Aces Pack

Description
-----===== HISTORY =====-----
Timken 1111, or the Four Aces, was a 4-8-4 steam locomotive built in 1930 by ALCO, the Timken Company, and several other companies to demonstrate the benefits of using roller bearings on locomotives and rolling stock, as opposed to plain bearings. The Four Aces was used in 14 major railroads, and could be found hauling heavy freight trains of 80+ cars or fast passenger trains at speeds of 130+ km/h (80+ mph). The locomotive was also involved in publicity stunts, where a small group of men or women would pull it, to highlight how little friction the roller bearings produced.
While the locomotive was doing a run on the Northern Pacific railroad, it suffered damage to its crown sheet. Timken demanded NP to repair the locomotive, but they refused, since they didn't own it. Both companies eventually agreed that the Four Aces would be bought and repaired by the NP, and would be integrated as a member of their fleet.
After 23 years of operation on the railroad, the locomotive was retired. Efforts were made by Timken to preserve the locomotive, but it was scrapped in 1958.

I've been wanting to do this for a while now, and it's finally done! I tried to make this as detailed as I possibly could, and I also took care of the UVs, so they are now much cleaner and easier to understand (I hope to see many liveries from you all!). I will take a short break from modding to organize my ideas and also have some fun doing other things, so I won't be releasing new mods for now. When I come back, mods will not be so frequent, but that will be to ensure that they will all recieve all the care and quality assurance they need, as well as to prevent burnout. Once I make plans for future packs, I will post them in this comment section.

Been a while, huh? I guess I should explain myself. Basically, I was having trouble updating this mod group, so I reinstalled Steam and lost the ability to edit my mods, and also a lot of assets. I quit modding and left the RL server impulsively, but I started to miss mod making, so here I am. New stuff is on the way, so I hope you're all excited!
