    Hello, I have a question regarding the Chessie System, now that we have this Railroad in Train Simulator Classic and also two route B&O Mountain Subdivision and Hannover Subdivision, do we would ever get the Chessie System EMD SD50 that where bought principally by C&O and B&O? 27039098234830837u2i0390980928.jpg b5e765bb9d1a4b0d2187afaf54d6ab07.jpg

    RR Mods and Jointed Rail both do a Chessie SD50 but I think only for Trainz.

    I couldn't find any reskins for a Chessie version on the RWA downloads site. There is an 'early' CSX SD50 on Steam Marketplace for which you need the D&RGW SD50 by DTM. I don't think DTM do an actual Chessie version.

    That's the best I can find.

    Alright, well thanks, so there is no chance there will be other Chessie Systeam dlc or just reskin/livery?

    Why not ask on the RWA site (with photos).

    There is certainly a chance of it being made if it hasn't already, either as a reskin or as DLC. That said I'm sure if you look hard enough there probably is one already.

    I didn't really mean the route, but more the Chessie System EMD SD50 as that they where used on the B&O Mountain Subdivision Grafton - Cumberland as it would be interesting doing Operation with that Chessie System locomotive.

    I repeat - why not ask. The RWA costs nothing to join and there is no membership fee.

    Apparently DTM had one in the works oh so long ago. Dunno if it ever got released.

    Because I already know I would get as a reply "nope sorry there isn't".

    When I say ask I knew there wasn't a repaint in there but that there are a number of very skilled repainters who, if the question was asked, might do a repaint. But if you don't want to ask ....

    Why I should ask, if they would already tell no or what other thing they could say?

    In words of simplicity - You ask if anyone would do a repaint of the DTM DRG SD50 in Chessie livery please. You might like to add that the Mountain Sub would be an ideal route for them to run on. In the post you should upload some pics to save anyone looking for them. Or do you not really want them and this is too hard to help yourself.

    I agree with mindenjohn. RWA has some generous folks that love doing reskins.

    Another option would be to reach out to DTM and ask if they’d be interested in doing an official Chessie livery addon for the SD50.
