Union pacific gp50!

Fun fact, the bells on CNW units with the gong bells were trainlined so that the bell would ring on every unit that had the gong bell set up.

I always wondered if a lead unit could through MU, have all their horns blow at the same time. I'd imagine it would be able to be done with a software tweak on modern locos.

That GP50 looks nice. I agree with others.... the road grime looks really good.

Hi Guys.
This one is mine too. DTG had some kind of problem with the BNSF licence (I think is solved now) so they ask me to change the model to the UP version and left the BN pack for marketplace. Now this pack has two models, with and without dynamic brakes (ex Missouri Pacific).

I am glad to see more models to choose from. I was wondering why the market on locomotives is being flooded.

So the UP is just the ex. CNW?

I believe all of the UP GP50's are ex-CNW.

Im wondering the same thing, that gong bell has me confused with it being said its a MP unit but as far as I know MP never had gongs....lol something has been lost in translation somewhere.

I just went and looked through all the pictures I could find and there doesn't seem to be any with gong bells. Some had the horns right over the headlights and some more off to the side. That old MoPac paint job was kinda slick.

DTM's SD45 is my favorite model currently available in the game, glad to see this one. As an aside from a couple pages ago, so the GP30 is done but just in line to be released? Is my understanding correct on that one?

So judging by that the model in the screenshots is technically an ex CNW locomotive? But on the other hand if its ex CNW that would mean it would have to have ditch lights as CNW was bought out after they became mandatory.

The Gp30 thats been mentioned is the one that was made by DTM pre TS2012. Is been off the market while they update it for a while now.

C&NW merged into UP in June 1995. Ditch lights not mandatory in US until end of 1997.
