Description:
Alco & GE’s Answer to the EMD FT

In 1946, Alco & GE responded to massive popularity of the FT with the FA-1. At 1500hp with A and B units, it offered considerable competition to the aforementioned FT.

Here, we have the demonstrator scheme. While the model for the demonstrator was pretty different, this scheme is based loosely on that to provide a recolorable option to players, with random numbers as well.

Credits to Pete Willard over at railsimstuff.com for the fonts used.

Original model by Josh Clough over at turbosquid.com for the free model. I modified it to add more reskinnable options and a better UV map for reskinning it as well.

Read Me! Appears in multiple unit menu due to randomized road numbers.

Unfortunate side affect of using numbers as a custom load on an engine.
