📋 About This Mod

I can only imagine what kinds of substances that the engineers at Baldwin were on when making this thing.

IMPORTANT: THIS IS HOW YOU INSTALL IT:

For whatever reason, I can't get Unity Mod Manager to accept that this is actually a locomotive; you'll need to install the zip via UMM, and then drag the folder titled "ld-baldwindt662000" into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Railroader\Railroader_Data\StreamingAssets\AssetPacks (or equivalent), but it will work.

Do you want a period-accurate diesel road unit?  Do you want one that is fast, sleek, and revolutionized how we see trains?  Do you want something with the kind of power and pull to take any load up the Red Marble Grade?  Do you want something that has survived the test of time, where examples can be found across the country or even world?

This is one of those things.

Introducing the Baldwin DT 6-6-2000!  Built by a company which HATED the existence of diesel, this was a locomotive that, despite being contemporary with the GP7 (only a year younger), had less tractive effort.  Essentially two Baldwin road switchers given a Frankenstein's Monster surgery, this beast is 74 feet long, weighs a whopping 354,000 pounds (177 tons) minimum, has two 1000 hp engines, and generates a whole 64,200 pounds of tractive effort - all to satisfy the Elgin, Joliet, and Eastern's request for a locomotive you don't have to turn around.

Author's Notes: This is a work in progress.  Textures (including the doors, which for whatever reason don't want to colorize despite me setting that up...) and models are going to be updated (due to not having the full background of this... creature, I modelled an updated which later got EMD prime movers for the EJE, which looks cooler but would not be accurate, but more on that to come.  Additionally, the cab is sparse but everything works, and I'm using stock trucks just for the purposes of the moment, until I can figure out how the animations on this thing worked so I can properly model them into the trucks.  I also, for whatever reason, can't get Unity Mod Manager to accept that this is actually a locomotive; you'll need to install the zip via UMM, and then drag the folder titled "ld-baldwindt662000" into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Railroader\Railroader_Data\StreamingAssets\AssetPacks (or equivalent), but it will work.  I also only have one livery design for it right now, but will be releasing several schemes in the future with updated releases - feel free to make your own!

However, the bones are there, and I hope you enjoy it!  Again, a work in progress, but hopefully you get some use from it.
