GE U20C / CC 203 Locomotives

This Mods includes GE U20C (CC203), with 4 Different Liveries (Plain White, Old Blue Stripes, New Blue Stripes, and Red New Logo Livery) these locomotives are recreated truthfully using real-world data. It also features custom engine and horn sound using real-life recordings of the locomotive.

Here is a little on the locomotive itself:
The GE U20C diesel-electric locomotive was introduced by GE Transportation Systems as an export model in 1964. It was powered by the 8-cylinder 7FDL-8 engine. This locomotive is used worldwide with many variations and modifications. Different engines may be used, e.g. 7FDL8 and 7FDL12. Like the other members of the Universal series, it can be built to suit all track gauges.

A unique modification is the wide cab version of the 2,000 hp (1,500 kW) U20C used on the 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) gauge Indonesian railroad and operated by PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Indonesian National Railway Company). Unlike other models of the U20C, with short hood cabin, the Indonesian U20C features a full-width cabin, for comfort and better sight of track and signals. It is classified as CC203 by PT Kereta Api Indonesia. The wide cab was built by Goninan Locomotive Work (now UGL Rail) in Australia.

Between 1995 and 2000, 41 units of this locomotive type were delivered to Indonesia. Which was numbered as CC203 01-41. The first batch is number 01-12 which were imported from GE Transportation in Erie, Pennsylvania, United States. Numbers 13-41 were built locally by PT GE Lokomotif Indonesia, a joint company between PT Industri Kereta Api Indonesia / Indonesian Railway Industry (PT INKA) and GE Transportation. The CC 203 was designed between Goninan, Australia and GE, USA. In which Goninan constructed the wide cabin and GE constructed the engine and the body. 37 locomotives in Java are still in operation and were allocated for pulling express passenger trains, but in special conditions, they pull 3rd class and sometimes freight trains as well.

Warning: The Model of the boogie is modelled according to the 1,067mm gauge, it won’t match the visual of the standard gauge, but it will still operate normally.
