Yeah, the Cal-P is still an on-going project. Here's a screenshot I took this morning while running a test. The Baldwin up front is Bill Alder's very nice DS4-4-1000 that can be found in the T-S.com library. I've tweeked the .eng file some and it's still showing an since-replaced version of a skin for the Oakland Terminal Rwy.
History buffs might appreciate me pointing out the obscure fact that the Black Panther Party was formed in one of the Federal Housing Project apartments in the background some 30 years after this "temporary, for the duration only" war housing was built. :rolleyes:

I'll be the first to say I appreciate it, Dave, both the model work and the historical context. I'll be looking forward to this one. -Phil

Never say die, eh Dave? :rolleyes: Say, I tried to find that Baldwin at TS, but didn't, just some Canadian road units. Do you have a file name for it?

That's probably it Tim. Bill skinned them for the CP and CN (there are 4 locomotives included in the zip). I played around a bit trying to re-skin the model for the OTR, with just so-so results. Rick F. was asked and he has agreed to do a proper reskinning and so we should see a nicely done version of the OTR, which, w/ Bill Alder's permission, will be included w/ the Cal-P.

I found it. I had typed-in Bill Alder and only the road switcher version came up. Today I typed Baldwin and the yard unit showed up, DL'ing now- at 29 kb/ sec;- It'll be awhile :rolleyes:

Dave,
Yeah, I remember now..... :rolleyes:
I haven't had a chance to tackle the cabview, do you want what I have so far? Or .... did I already send it to you??
Sorry, I've got a bad case of CRS since I passed the double-nickle mark. :lol:
