Northern Central's "York" Version 1.0 October 6th, 2022
Frank Musick

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 Northern Central Railroad in the mid 19th century. The general shape based on a German drawing of Philadelphia & Readings "SUSQUEHANNAH" and various images of camel type locomotives i have for reference, Color for the locomotive is arbitrary. I used my imagination.

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 cab view is 3D. None of the controls, however, operate. I have no clue which one does what. I just wanted a way to see out of the cab of a rather interesting locomotive. I have always used the keyboard controls when operating locomotives. Model does have an animated bell.

The model is high poly (especially the crew) and may cause framerate issues. I haven't had any issues, as long as I remember to shut down all the other apps I use to create these things. If there is an issue, the crew can be edited or commented out of the ENG file if needed...Either delete or comment them from the following lines....

The same can be done in the tender WAG file
