Anyone happen to notice that RW decided to use the NON-DYNAMIC GP9 model for the PRR GP9!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean come one its one of the stiffist grades in the east! PRR never owned a non-dynamic GP9. I'm sorry but that's a big mistake!

Are they GP9's or 7's? Open the "Loco Information" on one of those GP scenarios and have a read. Also, in the Scenario asset selection browser, there is a GP7 listed (???). Makes me wonder exactly what model those PRR's are supposed to be. Remember the time setting is 1950; didn't GP9's appear in '54? Correct me if I'm wrong, please... this isn't my area of expertise. !*don-know!*

No, you're right - they're GP7s

Actually I think we are both right.....Next time you are in the cab, zoom in on the builder plate just to the left of the forward (which would actually be PRR rear...another error) engineer's widow. It clearly says GP9 on it. Regardless, the engine clearly does not have a dynamic brake grid so it should not have a dynamic brake option (although it does). GP7s seem to have been use primarily by PRR in and around chicago....not on the mountainous Middle Division.
