Hi all,

Now available on my website, a pack of NP GP7 and GP9 freight units. I've numerous liveries and engine configurations, which are: "Canoe" livery, simplified livery, and simplified livery with gothic lettering. Units with and without dynamic brakes with matching numbers. And versions with and without the shiny steam engine bell on the short hood (that bell is my favorite thing about the NP's early diesel fleet!)

No passenger units are included as I don't have the torpedo tube Geep model (yet).

You can download them here:

[Edit: Fixed some bugs and reuploaded the .rwp early on Nov 20th. Please redownload if you downloaded before now (see third post below for more details).]

Have fun with the NP Geeps!

Cheers
Michael

Beautiful work Michael! !!*ok*!! I'm really looking forward to the torpedo-tube version too; I used to see them switching local freight in my home town, and they certainly bring back some fond memories.
Thanks so much for putting this pack together. *!!thnx!!*

Thanks for the kind comments. Rudi, I thought you might like these. !*salute*!

It seems I was a bit trigger happy with the "publish button" last night, I found a few more bugs when I ran the engines some more after the release.

If you have downloaded the NP Geeps before I'm posting this, please redownload and reinstall the .rwp from the link above.

Bugs addressed:
  • child objects (handrails etc.) were not visible from cabview camera
  • wrong horn alias, was using the NH Hancock now it's the Kuju SD40-2 horn like on all the others -- you can easily swap that for whatever you think is better, either engine by engine by editing the "Horn" child object in the engine .bin file, or globally for all GPs and SDs by editing the SD40 horn sound blueprint in the "Shared" folder.
  • headout camera too far forward (offset pos. was still from the SD7 headout blueprint, so I wonder if that's a bug that has been around since the very first short hood forward GP I ever released. Oh dear.)

Cheers
Michael

Thank you, Michael for bringing us the Northern Pacific Geeps. Just in time too. I have been working on some Cascadian scenarios and needed some Northern Pacific engines to go with the rolling stock.
