Notes

The famous Baldwin Consolidation locomotive C60 #268, as she was in
the 1900s. Later reclassified 'C16' in the 1920s, she featured in the
movie 'The Denver and Rio Grande Western' in the early 1950s, clad in
her well known Bumblebee colour scheme, which dated from the 1930s.

This version brings to five the number of variations of the same
locomotive modeled by Captain Bazza.

The ENG is based on a previous C16 version. Thanks to Howard Saunders
for his valued assistance with tuning the C16/60 physics.

Care has been taken to tune the locomotive physics to reflect the
running characteristics of the C60/C16. The original was not an
easy locomotive to fire and drive on the grades where she ran during
her long career.

In order to achieve realistic running you should be aware that the
C60 ran with fairly light tonnages on some heavy graded sections, as
per the requirements of the service. Learn to know the tonnages of the
various types of vehicles in the consists and you will have a better
driving experience.

Hi-detail shapes.
Locomotive 21,739 polys, 23,156 vertices.
Tender 7,093 polys, 8,359 vertices.
Some 2048x2048 textures, plus 1024x1024 textures.

ENJOY! I don't intend building any other version of the C16/C60.

Direct any queries to the ET Narrow Gauge forum, thanks.
