Hi all

I commented the next project in progress

EMD SD50S - Utah Railway

Built in Australia to Hamersley iron. Sold to NREX and sell to Utah Railway

The SD50S ("short frame") were prototype units built in December 1980. They were shorter than production locomotives by approximately 2 feet (0.61 m).
The designation also applies to five locomotives built by EMD Australian licensee Clyde Engineering, Adelaide for Hamersley Iron. These were shorter than production SD50s, and were equipped with a special double cab roof for insulation against the hot Australian desert sun in the Pilbara region. Withdrawn in November 1995, they were sold to National Railway Equipment Company and exported to the U.S. in February 1999 and used in national lease service.[1] They were subsequently sold to the Utah Railway in June 2001, where they remain.


We must make many modifications to the original mesh of SD50 original.
- This dlc will include SD50S locomotive in two livery, coal hoppers and scenarios for route Soldier Summit.
This SD50S incorporates new cab mesh.
Still do not know if DTG has or can get the license to be sold on Steam. If not will only Trains and Drivers

Very soon I will publish images of the project !!*ok*!!

Very cool idea for the next project! Any chance there will also be a N&W/NS repaint since the only difference is the double cab?

it is a good locomotive I will buy it when I get the money. Until I get the SD 50s and repaint them I will use Buzz's SD40s to pull the HUTAH
