1890 H.K. Porter Company - Loco's

Right now we are working on finalizing another great Machine Rail release for Train Simulator 2021/2022 (or higher) ! For some months now, we have been working on single narrow gauge locomotives that would be useful on some existing route like the Clear Creek Narrow Gauge Route. So we released the two bundles of Cooke Moguls and Consolidations, but already thinking about the need for a smaller locomotive for shunting, or for logging services or something like that; so soon we will be releasing the Porter bundle , or "The Porter Legacy".

What's Coming?

In this new bundle you will receive six units of Porter 0-4-0ST and 0-4-2ST locomotives, each of them with their own characteristics and variations; in the picture above you see only four of them, the other two are still in our workshop receiving their final adjustments. These nice little locomotives have their own road number and a name, which we will reveal in the next release post.

1883 Cooke L.Works - Consolidations

Denver, South Park & Pacific Railroad, Colorado & Southern and Denver, Leadville & Gunnison, has never been so well honored in a train simulator. With this new DLC for your 2021+ train simulator, you will be able to explore every detail of the new freight train locomotive, operate all of its basic functions, and extract the performance from this machine as your train travels along the Clear Creek Narrow Gauge Route lines.

The Machine History

Twenty types of Cooke 2-8-0 consolidations were delivered to DSP&P between June and November 1883. The first nine were numbered to fill the gap created when the older Baldwin 2-8-0 were numbered DSP&P 50 to 57 in 1880. The other eleven Cooke 2-8-0s were then numbered from DSP&P 58 to 68. They became a continuous group from #198 to 217 in the 1885 renumbering scheme and later C&S 37 to 56 in 1899. They had 36" motor-drivers and 15x18" cylinders. Most were scrapped or sold to lumber companies during the first 20 years of the C&S era.

NOTICE: This is an update, so if you already own any of these products just install the update and you are done. But be careful and watch out for GNFO machines: If you have any GNFO machine, you will install the update; then navigate to the root folders of the GNFO engines and copy or cut the .GEOPCDX files of each one.

For example, if you own the GNFO Henschel & Sohn Tentugal Pack, go to the locomotive folder and get the .GEOPCDX; then navigate to its new destination, now it is located in the MachineRail folder, and put the .GEOPCDX file there.

Old path:

Assets\GNFO\RailSimulatorGF\RailVehicles\Steam\VFFLB 50 Ten Coupled\ABPF\Locomotive

New path:

Assets\MachineRail\1930 Henschel Ten-Coupled\RailVehicles\Steam\Tentugal ABPF\Locomotive

Remember to do the same for any other GNFO machines listed in this update; after this process we recommend that you delete the GNFO engines to avoid them appearing more than once in the TS editor. For those of you that don't own any of these engines yet, they will already be updated to the right path, to the new Machine Rail vendor after their purchase.
