A set of five fixed numbers, both open ice hatches and closed, based on GreatNortherner's freeware 40ft refrigerator car.

Should not need any other DLC.

And Thank You for another fine repaint. Glad I have 4 TB of hard drive at home. My RW folder is pushing 100 gig.

James G. Hill, owner of the GN insisted that all express freight and reefers that were to move with the Empire Builder, had to be in matching livery. I don't think there's more to do.

Interesting point: the E7s (in the library) were used for the EB early on, but they had overheating issues on the long grades and in the tunnels. The switch to F series locos solved the issue, and also allowed a bit more flexibility in power management by using B units when needed.

Not to mention the E7's lack of dynamic brakes.

Edit: Woops. Just noticed the date on the last post. *!embar*!
I just bought the GN F7 Empire Builder DLC in the holiday sale and I'm researching everything related to it.
