Ultimately, with this change this is an actual very good, balanced mod. I use it with 1850 hard starts, and economically, it does not seem to have any significant outliers to vanilla (besides the pre-modification "Express Passenger 4-4-0"), and actually functions as a real "variety pack"! :D

Especially when used with a "Norris 4-4-0 'Virginia'" mod I found, I find the 1850 meta is decently balanced due to the running cost and price of those 3 competing early engines. Although, I had to upgrade the vanilla Baldwin's Six-Wheels to a fair 44 km/h for it to really not seem like an obvious non-choice. The vanilla European 1850 train and good ol' 4-4-0 The General both fit into this new meta.

Thanks for the beautiful models, however. More than anything! ...Another American Rail Pack I found (besides being unbalanced to the extreme) just copy-and-pasted vanilla models to form their additional flavour, in comparison. Real vanilla-esque value.

I think it's a really good mod with the exception that the "Express Passenger 4-4-0" is way too unbalanced at that era with that 90 km/h top speed... However, all the other stats seem pretty balanced for the power and the cost that it comes at... So I think ultimately reducing its top speed down to 60 km/h, (keeping in mind the vanilla 2-8-0 Baldwin after it is also 60 km/h, *slightly* more expensive, yet provides that in-line power boost with its upgraded costs), is the best way to balance this locomotive out.

This puts it in competition with the "Early 2-6-0" and fairly priced relative to specs, with the "Express Passenger 4-4-0" being the higher-end option (really eating at the running cost + low tractive effort) at this era until the slightly upgraded vanilla 2-8-0 comes along with the useful power boost for freight.

I do this manually by editing the files, but I think it would be a very good change.

See my workshop for a fix. I made a 2-6-0 patch mod.

Hi,
I have the same issue as Rafn. Any way how I can solve it?
Steve Emfore  [autor] 2 sierpnia 2018 o 11:47 
Interesting. Thanks for the info, very helpful.

Got this:

File: vehicle/train/260_old.mdl
railVehicle/configs/axles: mesh 'vehicle/train/general/lod_0_w3.msh' does not exist

Started a game, used some of the locos from this pack (the 6-2-0 and the 4-2-0) without problem, could load and save just fine, when I added the early mogul to a line it ran fine, was able to save, but get above error on load.
