Surprise! It's not a S2 but we can pretend.

Where/what model is this? I want to put it on my "things to buy" list!

[XDriver]

G-Trax SPS 700.

Fun story is, SP&S being a subsidary between GN and NP, shared qualities of both railroads' fleet of steamers.

[XDriver]

One of the biggest difference is the air compressors are on the front instead of the side as the SPS is modeled along with a few other noticeables.

Fantastic, congratulations to the author. It's hard-work do this model.

Thanks

We need to change Xdriver's handle to the Steam Wizard.

I've been letting Buzz handle all the recent uploading work. We just released the Erie Berks and weathered NKP in the library. These 2 will make it there eventually. I feel sorry for the folks who didn't get their hands on G-Trax big steam when they were available. Be nice if someone was allowed to re-release them somehow. To me the SPS 700 was kinda boring but with a new identity and sounds, it's like it has a new life. It's the same with the Berk. I run the NERW version and the Erie version more than I ever ran the NKP. I never liked the blue/black skin they came with as default. That's why these things happin from my paint shop.

It's a dirty thankless job but the beta testing continues. Can anyone besides Ol Paint tell me what's wrong with the basic model? If you can you might just get a early copy.

[XDriver]

So sorry I have to keep twisting your arm so hard to do this stuff.

Looks great, would love to see someone repaint some of the semi's I've already released to the file library. Perhaps a semi with stripes and a American flag would be nice.

Cylinders need shiny covers and the driver tires need white stripes...

Cylinders need shiny covers and the driver tires need white stripes...

Some did and some did not. Some had the white walkways and tires plus shinny covers. Usually the green boiler ones. I have seen pics of both. I just chose this style, but to each their own.

Modified the cylindercocks steam effect.



Edit part. Not sure if i want it this way. We have to make up our minds here.

As usual, another wonderful job. Re the cylinder emission mod - can that be carried across to the Berks? Is it just a matter of a copy / paste of the files or is more work required? Always thought this needed work on the original model.
