Great Northern W-1 cargo

Description
This thing is so big the collapsed pantographs actually hit the default wire height on the catenaries.

The W-1 was a class of electric locomotive built by the Great Northern Railway. They were constructed to haul trains on the 73-mile (117 km) electrified portion of the railroad across the Cascade Mountains from Wenatchee, Washington to Skykomish, Washington, including the Cascade Tunnel. Only two locomotives were built, and they had an AAR B-D+D-B wheel arrangements.

These locomotives had a short service career, being retired in 1956 when GN decided to scrap its electrified equipment in favour of diesel, 5019 was scrapped, and 5018 was sold to UP which used it as a test bed for a useless coal burning turbine.

This locomotive was a collaborative effort between me and Astro. Astro made the streamliner body initially, which i modified and fixed extensively, and i made use of my GG1 running gear and electrification equipment and added some extra details, the texture work is done exclusively by me. I highly recommend you support their work and check out their workshop and leave a like on their assets and follow them.

Same as previous poster, getting an error from Vehicle effects on both versions of this asset (cargo and passenger):

Error while parsing vehicle effect definition file(s). Assets will work but may have effects missing. Contact the author of the asset(s).
List of errors:

Hello,

I play offline and get this warning with this object from "Verhicle Effects":

"1994365516 - Vehicle with name 1994365516 not loaded."

As I said, there are absolutely no errors with any other object. It must be because of these objects.

Thank you for your good work. Because these assets are really well made and I hope you can fix the bugs.

Thats not a problem with this train, but the game's terrible AI that sometimes gets confused.

Hey there, GiometryE!

There is an issue with this train that it does not change tracks after unloading its cargo when there is another train leaving by there, even after it's long gone. I wonder if there's is something you can do about it, if so that would be nice, if not that's OK too.

By the way, this asset is beautiful, thank you!

that if you use it on *this* type of railway network that most people play with then yes it will congest: https://gameplay.tips/uploads/posts/2017-11/1509911853_1.jpg

if you use it on a long, orderly railway network like this it will work just fine like it does for me: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lDARfUCU_gY/maxresdefault.jpg

"long, realisticly stretched rail networks" - what does that mean / what does that entail?
Eva  [author] Feb 16, 2020 @ 12:11am 
Im not changing that, this is made specifically for people that use long, realisticly stretched rail networks.

the train is too long, causing congestions
