Interesting ... something else for the wishlist

[_o_OOOO_oo-Kanawha]

Hopefully the sound will be good, if these locos still run in Brazil good recordings could have been made.

Baldwins used low RPM big bore Diesels, right? Probably with a very distinctive sound.

Interesting! I'll look forward to this engine in my SP fleet!

Anybody know how you get delivery from them?

[_o_OOOO_oo-Kanawha]

I suppose through their webshop with the usual electronic delivery.
I see only credit cards though, no PayPal, which I prefer for foreign orders.

The "J" also ran these Baldwins?

Better find some reviews first, as these models could be MSTS or Trainz conversions, and those don't always work out well.

They take PayPal. I just took a chance and purchased the thing. EJ&E had Baldwins but they were DT-6-6-2000 the center cab locomotive.

I bought the GP-18 a few weeks ago, I got the download link in my email within 24 hours, it was from Carlos Augusto Nicolucci in case your spam filters are strict.

I believe these are modeled in house specifically for TS and not conversions from from any other sim.

Cool! You can always simulate the "J" ran these beasts instead of the center cab brutes.

I couldn't make out the trucks, Baldwin used it own rigid frame cast truck for the low speed transfer units, and the more common ALCo style tri-mount truck with "swan's neck" equalisers for road switchers.

Thanks Bob.

Looked at the email again too, it includes a link and a decyrption key to unlock the download which was hosted at mega.nz

Everything will be in Portuguese.

[buzz456]

That may require assisstance. I was looking at the GP18 as well. What do you think of it?

[buzz456]

Got it. D/L now.

I just got the email for this purchase, either it was a lot faster this time or it hit my spam folder last time, either way I am pleased today (especially since I still don't have my steam key for TSW from Gamersgate after saying I've used them for years, apparently they run out of keys for stuff fairly often, grumble grumble)

The host site mega.nz is in English and everything translates pretty good through google but it's also similar in format to other products so you can probably fumble through safely.

Please post a few screenshots.

C&O had nearly 40 of these locomotives, and the first batch were used initially to replace the mighty H-8 2-6-6-6's on the Alleghany Sub.
