ITS OUT!!!!!

[awaken1977]

Got it!
Nice addition to US freight collection
cab interior looks very good, but nothing special about cab features - similar to standard GEVOs (no switches animated beside dashboard light, cab light and wipers)
headlight switch is a crap as usually - med /bright setting alternates between first and last unit in the train ,
and rear headlight switch is not functioning. Is it in UK like this? :lol

Sound is good. Mild turbine whining on high notches
No difference between inside and outside sound

Fresh demo:



Also, C40-8 loco pack included the same gondolas as with NS Coal District route, but
installed into different place. So, wagon sounds can be aliased

To enable Krellnut's wagon sounds v 3.1b for gondolas supplied with NS Dash 8,
install PennCoal.zip and 3.1b soundpack itself from here, if you don't have it.

Its one of the locomotives that the Default RS3L sounds nice on for once.

[conrail1]

dang :( it has mostly the dash 9 sounds. Disappointing :(

[buzz456]

Since they share the same prime mover they should sound the same.

[conrail1]

I mean they dident even enhance the sounds or upgrade the horn ect. The sounds used on this add on have been used since cajon pass for the es44 and then the dash 9 add on which is a few years old.

Why cant DTG just get things right??

[JohnTrainHead]

Ditch lights don't work on this one but I'm not too worried about that. Are the brakes on the loco any better?

[BNSF650]

Wrong horn once again

[ErikGorbiHamilton]

Wrong horn once again

Eh, Semi Wrong.



some C40-8's have RS3L's.

I checked out their facebook page, and they're getting attacked left and right over this one. I almost feel bad for DTG. But, it seems the ditchlights, brakes and numberboard issues remain un-fixed from the past 4 releases, if the reports are accurate.

I'm just thankful for VRC.

I forgot, because I replaced standard Dash 9 sound with the one from file library quite ago.
So, for me it's a kind of "new" sound

Where are the traction motors, the trucks are completely see through? At least all wheels turn. About braking: try to apply power while the air brakes are engaged and see how far you get down the grade?

Unless DTG up their game, this will be the last modern Diesel I'll buy from them. I have more than enough look alike 3rd generation GE and EMD's now. What else is there left of present day locomotives? 6000AC's and SD90's are considered failures of the horsepower craze.

G-Trax, Reppo, LordMannu, VCR all have produced better stuff, and filled our rosters nicely with unique creations.

I applaud DTG on expanding their license by bringing more CSX, BNSF, NS or UP instead of splintering their efforts over shortlines and regionals or even fictionals. Stupid DTG for not acquiring a Metrolink licence beforehand. Now dump those Bombardier zeppelin cars in a fictional scheme. Pacific Ocean Shore Lines would do nicely on the Pacific Surfliner route. Inland Empire Commuter Service can call at San Bernardino. Why let those cars go to waste?
I critizise DTG for not doing more with Horseshoe Curve, NEC north and south of NYC, Donner Pass and the other routes.
Bring us more and varied rolling stock of older era's to expand our gameplay with those routes even more.

I've said this many times before: I'l gladly buy more Pennsy steam, Diesel or electric, classic Santa Fe, SP, UP locomotives and trains.

Bring us E8's, PA's, TrainMasters, U Boats, Turbines, stainless steel streamlined passenger trains, a decent heavyweight train, cabooses with marker lights, sets of older freight cars to complement what we already have.

Or even the EL wickerliners.
