Did DRGW use remote controlled DPU's or manned helpers? Will there be a remote control box? Will there finally be a manual bail off on the loco brakes, or automatic bail off when the dynamics are engaged?

Hopefully soon we'll be able to learn for ourselves what has been improved and how. I believe the special deal comes with a complete Railworks game, perhaps some core physics have been improved? Otherwise it is the SD40's scripting alone.
Hopefully there will be Marketplace DRGW GP30 and SD45 units, and a proper DRGW GP40 from VRC??

Just as a heads up, according to the DTG devs on the Steam forum, it'll be another couple of weeks before this gets released to the community.

As I've looked at the screenshots of this wip route posted by DTG, one in particular has intrigued me. Now, of course, I cannot find a copy to reproduce here, but it's visible in one of the posts on page 6 of this thread. It shows a winter view of the route, complete with two diesels displaying a healthy covering of snow. So that sets me to wondering whether this is a case of careful photo-shopping or, perhaps, a technological breakthrough. I may be mistaken, but I can't recall any TS rolling stock capable of accumulating a snow mantle.

I believe the Donner Pass equipment has this as well. The locomotives don't really "accumulate" snow, but for winter scenarios the model has the snow mounds added.

When driving the Cab Forwards on DP in the snow you actually get a cloud of snow coming off the wheels.

Yep, and the Donner Pass Diesels have snow and snow clouds coming up from the plows.
