Well, I don't know if your name is Gumboots Wellington Galoshes the Third, but those pictures of the Consolidation is a very creditable facsimale. A great rendition.

Periodically I check into the forum to see if any new model drop. One day I'll get back into the game I swear. But anyway, I finally noticed this Pennsy H3 Consolidation. Since I love the Pennsy I'm not sure how I missed this. Out of curiosity is there any reason the H3 isn't listed amongst your other locomotives under the RRT3 downloads page of the website?Gumboots wrote: ↑Wed Jul 05, 2017 2:09 am Ok, tis done. If anyone is wondering what changed:
1/ There were a couple of minor mesh-related shading niggles, so I fixed those.
2/ I added some rivets to the cowcatcher, just because I could and I thought it needed them.
3/ The first skin was a bit too clean. It almost looked like an express loco instead of a freight beast. It was also a bit dark. So, I lightened it up some and gave it a bit of grunge, and tweaked some of the layer styles to work with all that. It looks better now, IMO.
4/ Tweaked the stats slightly.
5/Also tweaked the PopTop/1.06 Connie and the 1.06 Mogul stats a bit, so they all make more sense together.

File for all of the above are in the zip. So are files for the expanded pax appeal scale. So is a readme, which you ought to read.
Also looking at my modded game, I see I have the Gumboots_Mogul_Rebuild_and_Reskin pack already installed too. Is the Mogul from the H3 pack more up to date than from the Gumboots_Mogul_Rebuild_and_Reskin pack and is it okay to install the full H3 pack with the Gumboots_Mogul_Rebuild_and_Reskin pack installed?

Yes. It's because I've been slack and never got around to it.
I was playing with loco stats for a while, so was putting off adding it to the downloads page until I finalised stats. That turned into completely forgetting about it. I suppose I should take another look, and sort it out, but TBH I have not played the game for a while now. Maybe I should.
Yes to both questions. The H3 pack also contains modified loco stats for the Mogul and the default Connie. They are intended to give a better overall balance to the roster, and they turn the Connie into a normal loco for the period instead of a ridiculously strong rocket. These files will overwrite the default .lco and .car files, but will not change loco models or skins. The modified stats are optional, and I would advise keeping backup copies of the original files in case you want to change back.Also looking at my modded game, I see I have the Gumboots_Mogul_Rebuild_and_Reskin pack already installed too.

Thanks for the clarification. I really need to get back into this game.
