Is there anyone who is really good at Modding? i have a loco that i have seen in action in northern BC (British Columbia) on the Tumbler Ridge Subdivision. It is a General Electric GMD GF6C. I you like to see it run in the BC Rail Livery as well as Canadian National Livery. Thanks again for anyone who is interested and wants to take on the challenge.
BC Rail used these and other Locomotives on this line as it had steep grades and tight corners as it crisscrossed the Rocky Mountains. Mostly used to haul logs to the mills in Prince Rupert and Sheena Valley as well as coal and iron ore.
the following is a link to the page http://www.classicstreamliners.com Classic Streamliners is a good resource for North American locomotives (Engines) as we call them.
