@@F45.Productions That's weird. The four aces locomotive (the real one) is long gone. Couldn't Trainz Forge (or whoever made the models) ask for permission from Timken to use it? As for the models no longer being available, to compensate for that, I did reskin a Rio Grande 4-8-4 from the download station to resemble the Timken locomotive (more specifically, how it appeared when it served with Northern Pacific). Not only that, I even gave the reskinned locomotive custom sound effects that are actual sound recordings of the actual Timken Four Aces locomotive (whistle, bell, and chuffing sounds).
@@F45.Productions Okay. Although, there is something to note. Next year, 2025, will mark 95 years since the Timken Four Aces locomotive was built. U.S. copyright rules state that 95 years after something is created, it enters the public domain, which means that it is no longer copyrighted, and anyone can use it. That means Timken 1111 will enter the public domain next year, and Trainz Forge will finally be able to repost their amazing model of that locomotive without having to worry about copyright infringement.
Lovely whistle
I really wish those models were still available on Trainz Forge; they're sadly no longer available.
Copyright issues from timken

They don't have permission from timken to make it as payware
