MSTS Santa Fe GP38

Santa Fe GP38 repaint brings classic Central Valley freight railroading to the default EMD GP-38 in Microsoft Train Simulator, with period-appropriate Santa Fe colors that suit cargo and military-haul scenarios. The locomotive drops into a new Trainset folder and requires the default GP38 cabview and sound to complete the experience.

This is a repaint of the default GM EMD GP-38 locomotive. I wanted a Santa Fe GP-38. When I was a youth these trains use to run behind my school. Hoover Middle School in Merced California. All ways carrying all kinds of cargo through the Central Valley of California. Sometimes large military parts for Castle A.F.B.

Santa Fe loco on track

I plan on doing a few more paint schemes, along with possibly building a few models.

The housing on the left side of the train is dark blue, instead of gold. This is because of the mapping coordinates are taken from a weird spot. If I were modeling and texturing this model from scratch, I certainly would not of picked that spot for the coordinates.
