[TS:C] Trying the NEW UP CHALLENGER with its Creator & Tester!

In this video, we're checking out the brand new model of the Union Pacific Challenger in Train Simulator Classic! We are again joined by Justin, the beta tester for Smokebox; and by Smokebox himself! Unfortunately his microphone didn't work so we just got comments via chat, but it was great to get to run around with his creation with him.
The model is fantastic, and the textures are top-tier! Absolutely wonderful.

Apologies for my god-like reverb, my office has been completely redone and it's very "live" in here now that all of my acoustic stuff is packed up to move!

Me, a 3D train modeler:

Personally I prefer the early challengers instead of the late, something about the central headlamp just makes it look complete

When you do a articulated locomotive, I hope you can find the artist rendering of a quintuplex 2-10-10-10-10-10-2 that was in the August 1951 Trains or the patent for a 2-8-8-8-8-8-2.

How about putting one of the Clinchfield: Elkhorn City to St. Paul? They did have them, labeled as E-3s. Would be neat to see how they would fair there, in proper livery or not.

Honestly, I think the next step is get the N&W J-Class in this game, since the sheer detail and work out into the 844, Big Boy and Challanger shows Smokeboxes capabilities for American steam locos.

Says a lot about the steam generation if it has 5 safeties

Smokebox, is a master with these engines.

[@DerpyPossum]

Modeling this beauty must’ve been a massive challenge ;)

[@Idaho-Cowboy]

This looks amazing. Been waiting a while for this one.

[@thunderturbine8860]

The Challenger looks beautiful. Love the whistles and the features. Jolly good show Hyce @Hyce

[@Dondo_Golden_Rose]

He really deserves a break after all the hard work he’s been putting in. Godspeed Smokebox

[@kfcgaming4891]

love your video hyce and the Challenger steam train is cool and have a great day.

[@billyrueckert5113]

Nothing like extreme metal expansion and contraction over the course of 6 minutes :)

[@trainguy611]

I have tried the Challenger and I absolutely love it!

A major accomplishment in what DTG would have us believe is a dead physics engine. This could have been done 10 years ago if Dovetail let it happen organically. Smokebox and a handful of 3rd party route creators has shown how little of Phys X was utilized by the parent company. Follow the money trail. DTG plods out another TSW edition begging for your hard earned money like it's tomorrow's paper. Most of it looks like TSC with slightly better roadbed and a few more 4K textures. How many more years before they give us route creation? Shame on them. Beautiful and best steam locomotive bar none on any platform. Smokebox is a genius.

I want to hear about the time Trevor's fire went out the stack.

[@Spanderson99]

Oooh this looks incredible! Smokebox has outdone himself again. When do we get some narrow gauge stuff of this quality? My Clear Creek route is collecting digital dust since there’s nothing this engaging to run up there!

sweet vid

[@cheryldawdy5962]

Challengers and big boys are the largest steam locomotives union pacific fleet

I use to work for a tourist rr here in wv as a mechanic. Turning wheels on the f-7s is a nightmare. Getting the throat of the flange correct is ridiculously hard.
