PACIFIC ELECTRIC 0-6-0 No.1509 and tender.

!! FOR OPEN RAILS ONLY!! THE ENGINE WILL CRASH MSTS AND MAKE IT CRY.

THIS IS A BETA MODEL, MAY NOT EVER BE "FINISHED", WHATEVER THAT IS.

This has been languishing on my hard drive a long time and doing nobody

any good, so I offer it here, as is, with old-time MSTS type cabviews

and sounds from earlier NP L-9 models available in this library. It's a

good little switcher and runs well in OR.

It runs well despite it having 182 parts and nearly 58,000P.

This is a fantasy locomotive but is very close to what the PE operated

in the 1940's. The road number is correct in that it's the next

available number in the PE roster for a 0-6-0, if it had but one more in

reality. The model was built from the good old NP L-9 but modified to

resemble an ex-Southern Pacific S-8. I know, "why not build an S-8?"

Well, I just didn't feel like it. LOL! So this is what we get and I

don't think it's too shabby and was fun to do, and that is what I'm in

this racket for. Fun; and I hope you have some while running 1509.

Lots of people to thank, here. Jeff Link for his good old coupler mesh.

Steve Thompson for his gracious sharing of some of his outstanding photo

collection and photo textures. Derek Miller for help with sounds, engine

file and camaraderie. And thanks to all who've sent me good thoughts and

prayers this past year. It's been one helluva year.


I have not used DXT compression on any of the textures this time, so

repaints can be achieved with much less hassle. Feel free to do so!

Hey! I forgot to mention that you can open and close the roof hatch to vent the cab by pressing Shift+V. You can also open and close the cab windows and doors pressing the Q and Shift+Q keys.

Enjoy.

Pretty spiffy - Mr. Muir .
I enjoy runnin' those little smokers . It's a welcome change from the " Big Stuff " and they're great for shufflin' cars around and delivering bits on small side lines or local delivery .
Thanx for the early Christmas Gift - Tim - much appreciated .

A real beauty Tim. But considering the author it's no surprise. Your work is always a cut above. It's great to see you back at it. I can't wait to take this beauty out for a spin. http://www.elvastower.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/sign_thank_you.gif http://www.elvastower.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/sign_thank_you.gif

Rod and Paul, you're both welcome. It is good to be fiddlin' around TSM again. There's more in the works, which will be made available in due course.

Thanks for your compliments! :)

Tim i looked at that engine in the SV and it is awesome. I love the small work horses and this is a classic. Your textures and modelling are over the top as usual, and i just love this beast thanks so much for making her for us. I can't wait to run her around in her native habitat, i have some nifty fruit packing plants in the works to run her to, and i really want to get back to detailing out the PE and adding stuff to that era.

i hope the fires currently out there leave a few things standing tho.,.a bit scary.

but a lovely model in every way, and so glad to see you enjoying it.

I actually found a different use for the PE 0-6-0. I have weathered and relettered my copy for the Newton Oil on the Full Bucket Line. I'm not finished with weathering it, but I think Tim might like what I have done, because the weathering looks really good.

Well, be sure and share with us the results, will you, Matt?
