Alco C628

Description
The Alco C628 was the first six-axle unit of the builder's Century line. Being the replacement for the RSD-15 model, it was ratet at 2750 horsepower. The C628 along with its successors became legendary for their ability to pull serious tonnage, which led to Alco selling nearly 200 of this behemoths. With up to 85,750 pounds it offered the most tractive effort of any locomotive in its class. Which is a significant reason why railroads found them quite useful, even if they could cause significant wear to the track structure. Unfortunately the unit came to early for the high horsepower, six-axle market of the 1970s, which spawned icons like EMD's SD40 series.

How can you tell if an alco is running? It's turbo is blown and smoke is billowing out of the fans.

The model works good but I'm getting issues where some of the textures aren't loading at all. I can maybe only get 2 of them to work

I can say, this is one of my favorite mods, I love the sounds and the models they are so pretty, and I love using them in game. Can't wait to see what you do next

@zukzf I just had the same error with the textures. Moreover a lot of variants where missing completely. In my case this retexture was the issue and after deactivating it, everything is fine: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2229938596&searchtext=Alco+628

@latergator, do you know which mod caused the error? because I was getting the same issue on my end

Just checked it. They show up fine with just those two mods

@latergator43 The error doesn’t occur on my end, so I assume that another mod interferes. Do the textures show up on a new map, with only the Base-Set and the Alco activated?

The D&H and red Lehigh Valley locomotive have all their textures missing. It seems to have coincided with the update.

It shows up and works now, thanks!

@fatfluffycat There was an error in the Base Set here on Steam, it should be all fine now.
