It's a nice little locomotive, but you have the tractive effort way too high. All it does it spin the wheels. It burns fuel faster than a GP9 because of it. Brought the tractive effort down to 8750lb and it works much better. It only had 78hp, but you are giving it tractive effort close to something with 600hp.
All the variants have a tractive effort about double their weight giving a useless factor of adhesion of 0.5. Even the re-engined version was only 83hp. A low FoA means the wheels just slip instead of transferring power to the track. If the tractive effort is adjusted down to a FoA of 2, the locomotives suddenly become able accelerate a few cars quickly to 35mph. I adjusted their weight to the prototypical weight of 6 tons and tractive effort to 3500lbs giving an FOA around 3. They labor appropriately to get cars moving at those specs.
I can't get it to work. I don't have any of the Thomas engines. I drug the zip into the UMM, and it populated into the folder. It shows on UMM in the game, but when I try to buy it, it doesn't show up. Is there something I am missing?
Yeah turns out the file didn't update when i tried to throw V1.1 out, i've only recently found out but im already working on 1.2 anyways which should hopefully work.
Has this update been confirmed to work with the Strasburg Thomas yet? AFAIK for some reason the load order priority prevents one from loading if the other is loaded first.

THIS MOD IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY ME
i am working on actual models like the VB but this specific one is just a little joke mod
