I know we can't have UP's Big Boy as it's too big for tunnels and the turntable, but what about UP's Living Legend #844?

still about 7m too long for the turntable

#

it might be too big for tunnels too...

Maybe have it be strong, but you can only turn it around on places with a wye or loop. (Like harbor, city sw, or GF&T

For the turntable, technically the wheelbase doesn't matter. It's just where you put the axle colliders that matters (as long as you don't care about how it looks). Although if the locomotive is way too long, it can hit the turntable hut and derail

The things you learn when you try and get a DDA40x into the game ๐Ÿ˜

would fit in tunnels, barely, height is for now a bit problematic and length if more than 20m for each section
Seems to me extremely likely it would be possible to fit in-game 3.8m wide stuff, tested 3.4m(asian limit) and there was plenty of space

but does it fit under the 5 meter limit?

opaque escarp
#

yeah

#

its 4.9 ๐Ÿ’€

#

99% of american stuff fits into the 5 meter limit in my experience

#

auto racks, high cube boxcars, and double stack container cars are the main things that probably don't

boxcars, my beloved

Does anyone have a good verifiable dimensions for this like length width and height

desert verge
#

I'm looking threw the stuff from erlier

#

And I have a idea to make it fit on a turn table

#

Unless u where already taking it into consideration

#

If it has a tender

#

Turn the tender and the engine separately, use a DE2 to push the engine / tender onto the table, and turn it, and push it off
