GE44T Bergen Pack; 22 DEC 2018.
Repaints by Rudi Jaeger, for the Digital Train Model (DTM) payware Boston & Maine GE 44 Ton Switcher available from the Steam Store. Credits to the original developers for providing the textures which served as the foundation for these repaints.
------------------------------
Contents:
Repaints of two GE 44 Ton switchers (Erie No.26 and Delaware, Lackawanna & Western No.53) in schemes spanning their service with the Erie, Lackawanna, Erie Lackawanna, and Harlem Transfer Company (No.53 only). They were assigned at various times to the vicinity of Halem Station, NY. These repaints will work on any route, but they are primarily intended to support operations on the New York Division - Bergen Line, an exceptional freeware route which is available from the Steam Workshop. Credits to "The Minermen" for authoring the route which inspired these repaints.
Erie #26, Serial 28504, was built in September 1946 and was the only GE 44 Tonner purchased by the Erie; it was assigned to the Harlem Station Facility in 1968 as a Erie Lackawanna unit. The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western owned three GE 44 Tonners, numbers 51, 52, and 53; due to the non-distinctive colors of these locomotives (other than static road numbers), number 53 is the only original Lackawanna unit featured in this pack, as it went on to wear three different road-names during it's regional service.
------------------------------
Installation: This will be a non-standard installation, in that it consists of 2 Assets-folder transfers; the first being a set of empty folders for copying existing loco files into each repaint's folder; and a second Assets-folder that contains only the necessary files for the repaints, which will then over-write the corresponding copies.
1. Ensure you have already installed the DTM Boston & Maine GE 44 Ton Switcher.
2. Transfer the Assets folder (from the "Install Step 01" folder in this zip file) into your main Railworks folder. Note: There are no requirements to overwrite anything yet.
3. Navigate to: Railworks/Assets/DTM/GE44Ton-B&M/RailVehicles/Boston and Maine; and copy all the contained folders (Bogies, CabView, Engine, Simulation) into each fo the freshly installed repaint folders (DLW_53, EL_26, EL_53, Erie, HTC_53).
4. Transfer the Assets folder (from the "Install Step 02" folder in this zip file) into your main Railworks folder, and allow to overwrite the existing files (the copies from previous step-3) when prompted.
~ Mission complete.
-------------------------------
When using the scenario builder, be sure to select "DTM" then check the box for "GE44Ton-B&M" from the right-side flyout panel. Locomotive will display in the scenario builder's "selected" assets menu (left-side flyout) for example, "GE 44 Ton Erie", and so on; non-driver versions are listed with the suffix "ND".
