Microsoft Train Simulator Works - Free Skins Downloads
Thanks to Nels Anderson at http://www.train-sim.com/ for information on how to add new skins to locomotives and rolling stock!
You will need to create new folders for each in your "Train Simulator\TRAINS\TRAINSET" directory and use an unzip utility (I use WinZip) to extract the files. There is a README.TXT file in my .zip files with instructions for installation.

"All Your Base Are Belong To Us" Boxcar (file size is 1352kb) OK, this one's a little hard to explain. The origin of this phrase is a video game called "Zero Wing". The game's grammatically challenged translation to English has become a bit of a pop culture phenomena.

GREAT NORTHERN GP-35 (file size is 1520kb) As far as I can determine the Great Northern Rwy never had any GP-38's, so even though I am using the MSTS GP-38, I have numbered it as a GN GP-35. The two locomotives are very similar in outward appearance. I decided not to tinker much with the .eng file even though the GP-35 had more horsepower (2500 hp vs. 2000 hp in the GP-38). Click here to download the GREAT NORTHERN GP-35. (8/14/2001) Click here to download the modified GP-35 .ENG file - If you downloaded this skin, here is is a replacement file for the gp35-gn.eng file. The GP35 looks like a GP38, but it has a bit more horsepower (2500 vs. 2000). Modifications by Bob Boudoin. Also includes Exhaust and "Heads-out" GP38 modifications by Electrix. To use this file, replace the GP35-gn.eng file into the same folder where you installed the Great Northern GP-35. |
