DTG CSX AC6000CW WIP

I do hope they get the accurate sounds from an actual AC6000CW. Because if I recall, An AC6000CW has a 20 cylinder bi-turbocharged diesel engine. Whereas an AC4400CW has a turbocharged 16 cylinder

Where in Europe do you think they are going to find a AC6000CW?

It looks to me like this is still a 16 cylinder prime mover so would not sound that much if any different from the ES 16 cylinder locos.
From Trains:"The GEVO16 sounds the same as the 7HDL16. The GEVO prime mover is based on the HDL and incorporates design changes that correct the flaws in original HDL design.
The only 7HDL16 powered units left would possibly be a few UP AC6000CW's.
Any HDL prime movers removed from the AC6000CW's will go to scrap. The AC6000CW's were the only units to use this engine. GE nolonger supports the HDL prime mover, which was the ultimate reasoning for repowering of the AC6000CW's in the first place."

That said I suspect this may come with recycled ES44AC sounds as the GEVO-12 in the ES44 is obviously related to the GEVO-16.

The twelve cylinder doesn't sound like the sixteen cylinder. Similar but not the same.

I hope we get a union Pacific variant, this looks good!

I'm sure we will since they were the largest owner.

Great pictures. Like what i see. :)

Lets see how many complain if they make it a marketplace dlc

I hope the brakes on this loco are alot better than the brakes on the CSX SD 80 MAC which are horrendous, unless you like Emergency brakes coming on every time you want to slow down a bit.

It will most likely have the Canadian Mountain Passes braking system.

Even if there isn't one right away, I'm sure the community will reskin it in no time.

Why does the engine have a 30CDW brake stand. That isn't even remotely correct. It should have either the CCB-I, CCB-II (pictured here http://www.nyab.com/media/pictures/prod ... -18-08.jpg ), or the other weird one that UP/CP like to use.

They did that just for you to give you something to complain about.

Maybe I will have to complain about Dovetail Games fails to get themselves right.

If someone knows how to contact DTG about this issue it will be greatly appreciated.
