Already on my wishlist. ;)

Unfortunately the U36B included with the Amtrak E8 is a separate version. Not very happy about this decision as users have to buy the same locomotive again in the standalone U36B DLC to access repaints and older workshop scenarios.

Disappointed that DTG can’t provide the existing loco to be part of the new DLC. They have done it before for route mergers like the Morristown Line including the ALP-46 DLC and the Mittenwaldbahn where the existing BR442 DLC is included with the route.

That said, its 15 bucks after a 25% discount opening day! I'm so desperate for an E-unit I don't care if it runs like a Unicycle and sounds like a Submarine. WE FINALLY HAVE AN E-UNIT!!!

To be honest, I wouldn't really care about the one SCL U36B reskin included in the E8 add-on; it's more meant for AI use than anything.

Just purchased! Love to see those screens, Buzz.

I'm no painter but I've seen some of the maps that have been posted as difficult, am I correct in viewing that one as being quite a bit easier?

[dgallina]

the Texture mapping looks completely reasonable for repainting! Great!!

Under the knife already! Love it Buzz

Buzz beat me to it - map looks like it's going to lend itself very well to straight forward repaints.
