EMD SD7 (GN) released

[Chacal]

Please add to future refinements:
- hitting the "H" key does not activate the headlight;
- camera position for engineer seat and head-out view needs to be changed towards long hood;
- cab is very dark IMHO, I find it hard to distinguish features such as levers, buttons, etc.

You have to hold the H key (about 2 -3 seconds) until the headlight comes on.

Thanks!

Sometimes I have to use Shift and H to turn on the headlights. I mainly drive out of the cab so haven't noticed the other two items.

How about one in BN Paint

Dynamic brake version isn't finished so no basis for the GN model yet.. I'm looking at a EMD demo livery for a change-up. Once the Dynamic brake version is released, SP, ATSF, BN, etc.

I will need to do some super-detail models for a couple of them.

A couple of BN models are on my list too. One based on the GN line, long hood forward, which were in service until the early 80s. One based on the short hood fwd, a few of which survived well into BNSF days and even got repainted in BNSF heritage-1 (?) colors.

Yay! That is something I'm already looking forward to!

Yes, this is (I think) due to the speed of the light switch animation. It takes a bit to move the handle, so you'll have to keep the H key pressed.

These SD7s are just what I was looking for. Thanks for the sexy trains.
Here's one you should do:

I did notice the same with the breaks but I bet that setting can be tweaked. Out of the box I enjoy them. I hope to see some in Pennsylvania, B&O and possibly Bessemer and Lake Erie and of course other railroads who used them.

Glenn what shade of orange did the B&LE use?

Shayfan1,
Here is what I could find;

In the article it was described as bright orange and black. What color numbers I have no idea.

Thanks,
Glenn
