EMD FL9

[OpenRailer90]

Dayum they look sharp! I certainly expect that they will use the default F7 sounds, but with a K5LA or HANCOCK! Air Whistle. But the carriages hopefully are to be Shoreliner II or I's this time.

Disappointingly the included scenarios might have the ACS-64 which were not around the time the FL9s were around...however I expect that Workshop scenarios using this will feature AI-controlled AEM-7s on the NY-NH.

All non-supercharged 567s sounded pretty much alike, so the default F-7 sounds should be fine for these. MNCR tended to replace the Hancocks with newer multi-chime horns because the Hancocks weren't loud enough to meet revised FRA requirements and they required a fairly enormous volume of air to operate. This became an issue as a result of a series of grade crossing incidents in which the owners of the vehicles hit attempted to defend themselves by alleging the locomotives' horns weren't loud enough. AFAIK, none of them prevailed, because they all ran through properly operating crossing protection.

They should really be working on M2/4/6s in conjunction with the FL9.

I also have a bad feeling that the 3rd rail won't work properly...as for the Shoreliners will they be the Shoreliner I or II?

There won't be any. If there were they would be showcased in the screenshot...

lol, if the third rail mode doesn't work properly on the P32, why would it work any better on the FL9?

It's not worth it to have a repackaged Shoreliner III that is identical to what came with the P32. All least suggest them to do it to have a red stripe.

^ As great as they look I will drop in your CDot skins into the Shoreliners included with the FL9. I am hoping a mod pack will be developed...

Found this on Facebook. I would not be surprised if the sounds are by BNSFdude. His sounds were also used on the Surfliner F59PH's in addition to the P32AC-DM. He happens to have supplied the sound for the 3 newest DTM locos, the DDA40X, GP50, and GP30. If he does it for this one, it better have electric mode changability with the proper sounds.

Demanding much?
