File Category: Steam Locomotives, 19th century (Open Rails only)

To start off, I want to apologize for the last few DL&W uploads. I did not test things well and as I was running the trains I found scads of issues. I think I have resolved them (most of them anyway)

I'm re-uploading the entire set, LEHIGH, CARBON, jimmies and caboose. There are some consist files included for empty and loaded trains. I tried to make it all one file but it was much too large.

I did notice one thing...The bell on CARBON doesn't stop moving. No sound because it's the second engine. just motion.
I apologize again for such a horrendous oversight.

CARBON Version 1.1 August 31st, 2022

Changes to models vertical position to compensate for rail height, crew appearance

WARNING: OpenRails ONLY!!! Pretty sure it won't work in MSTS.

OpenRails model of what may have been an 0-8-0 camel type built Winans & Gillingham for the Baltimore & Ohio in the mid 19th century. Except for the general shape, which is generally based on a German drawing of Philadelphia & Readings "SUSQUEHANNAH" and images found on the Internet, it's all guess work. There was no info available (that I know of) for controls and a whole host of other things. Color at purchase was alledgedly green in color. From the info I've found Winans painted all parts of his locomotives green, similar to the way some modern Caterpillar equipment is sprayed orange. For the non-Baltimore & Ohio camels I went with other colors. Not sure if any these other railroads repainted their camels. I know one, Pennsylvania's SENECA, appears to have been rebuilt with some flair.

Physics was originally created for Jon Davis built Rogers 1855 4-4-0 by Bill Hobbs March 12th 2007 and minor adjustments were made by Tim Muir on May 9th 2019. I borrowed them from Tim in May of 2022 and added some effects and lights to coincide with the Winans camel series of models. The performance parameters are beyond my skillset and probably need revision.

The model is high poly (especially the crew) and may cause framerate issues. The crew can be edited or commented out of the engine file if needed...Either delete or comment them the following lines....

ORTSFreightAnims (
MSTSFreightAnimEnabled (1)
FreightAnimStatic (
SubType(Default)
Shape( LEHIGHCrew.s )
Offset( 0 0 0 )
FreightWeight( 0t )
Visibility ( "Outside" )
)

The loco has an animated bell, and it works well. The bell sound, however, keeps going a couple of rings after the bell stops swinging. Not sure how to fix that at this point.

Installation Procedure:

Unzip DL&WCamelCarbon into the OpenRails Trains\Trainset directory.
Move DL&W_Carbon.con into OpenRails Trains\Consist directory.

I thinks that's about it.
