Elvas Tower: Pennsylvania Railroad T1 5520 - Elvas Tower

BETA TEST Pennsylvania Railroad T1 5520

Model dedicated for OpenRails with extremely high polygon count.

This model will crash Microsoft Train Simulator. I use "convoi" to create consists

Model built with 3dsmax and exported in .s format throughGmax.



Original model and textures by Nicolas Schou

.eng file inspired by PRR M1 .eng by B & O Guy



Special thanks to Kazareh for his enthusiatic help and his .eng settings.

And a big thanks for all ET contributors for their comments and their support, especially Rick Franzosa for his comments on textures.



This T1 comes without sounds and cab. You need to copy BigBoy sounds and cabs from Trainsim.com in order to run it directly, or create your own mixture.



As it is a beta release, this model is not 100% finished especially physics and textures and still needs work.
