SDA Template Locos Not Available Options

[nbeveridge]

I was considering generating and posting an activity for this route to the t-s file library (publicity for AG4 and the template), until I discovered that the Nickel Plate website which hosts the loco files is no longer available. In place of those locos I could use either the DW U25B set, the GP9E's from the MLT SPH1 set, or the 3dTrains F7's. Any other suggestions for replacement power?

Hi Norm,

Thanks for the info. Have no idea if Nickelbeltrailmodels.com is permanently shut down or temporarily offline. In the meantime, you can use the following which would be excellent replacements in TS. The spalcors.zip file should do the trick. It is important to keep the engines short to handle the sharp curves in SDA and those will make it through.

Hi to all,

Here are some new developments with the missing files. nickelbeltrailmodels.com is back on service. However Jan Gettkant's freeware stock that was available via link is still empty as of now.

I have found out today that the missing zip file (SP_SSW_ALCO_RS.zip) for the SDA template engines have been released today at Train-sim.com under the following name (see screenshot)



I will be sending Steve an updated template file with the modifiied required rollingstock document
