MLW Facebook and Century Series Announcement

[BNSFdude]

Hey guys, here to promote my Facebook page, where you can see the beginnings of a new project for TS-2013 as well as WIP screenshots as I come further along.

I will be making select models of the ALCO Century Series starting with the C424 Phase II painted in BN and SP&S, this will come capable for quick drive and possibly scenarios for Marias Pass. I will be releasing these through Steam under MLW.
Planned features:
Custom Audio recorded from MNNR 313
Full 3D cab with prototypical functions of most if not all switches that control something nessecary.
Headlights that shine proper distance and cast shadows (can be turned off)
Differing details depending on year such as:
Strobe Light or Prime PM-8911 Beacon (functioning)
Paint and Patches - SP&S and BN patch and BN versions
Different horns - RS3K for BN - M3 or P3 for SP&S
Full start up procedure
Correct physics and brake stand.
Pilot details like MU hoses - MU receptacles that hook up to each other when in a consist with other C424s.

Edit: Yes, I know one is already being made, but I have the resources to make one at a much quicker pace, and I have to do something for my College Project. I have the C424 recordings already, so why not?

This is great.

Exhaust stuff is on and blah blah blah if you don't keep up with the FB page.


The curvature on the roof details will be done in 3DS Max.

[BNSFdude]

Engineers side done. Roof details added and exhaust section corrected. Moving on to the cab.

Looks amazing! Can't wait to see some more progess on these guys.

My question is, what series of Centuries are you planning to do? (I.E. 420, 630, etc)

You really had me going today on facebook with your April Fools joke

[BNSFdude]

Haha.
I plan on this and the 636. More are planned as routes are made.

Not really related to ALCO, but how is that GP30 of yours?

[BNSFdude]

It'll get done with time. Not on the list until the centuries are out of the way.

[spartantrain32]

If so, make the ICG dirty

IC-G isn't planned, but you guys certainly can hack out a repaint! The cab is coming along, next monday, I have a research trip planned in the cities so I can get audio and reference pictures.
