Looks very, very nice indeed!

No mention of working strobe or class lights though...

I'll have video up, once I figure out how to swap the BN SD40-2 sounds for AI. No promises for today though *!lol!*

Although RSC is often vague about a new DLC loco's features, its store page almost always contains a link to the users' manual. In this case, the manual provides keystrokes for headlight, beacon light, instrument light, and cab light, but there's no mention of strobe lights. Although some of the FaceBook ads for this package state that it, "features dynamic braking, cab lights and associated freight wagons", there's no mention of freight cars in the manual. The four scenarios, all for Marias Pass, include 2 training sessions (these usually last about 5 minutes) and two long-haul runs.

As Joe Friday always said, "Just the facts, mam." *!rolleyes!*

How are the sounds on this beast? I can't wait to get it, but I'm flat out of cash (not really, but my parents wouldn't let me spend any more) after buying a ton of scenicking supplies for my model railroad this Christmas... *!mad!*

Anybody want to start making some Santa Fe and Great Northern repaints of this? :D

Well done, RSC! !*brav*! !!*ok*!! !*salute*!

Steam is really slow today, even the Forums are bad. Store works, it just takes forever to load and change pages. I gave up even trying to get into my Inventory. If it's offline, means they are taking down the sales stuff maybe. !*don-know!*

Pedantic as usual, eh Old Prof? !*lho*!

Queen's English vs. America English. "beacon light" = "strobe light" (altho in real life they are different in construction). "freight wagons" = "freight cars". Now, the heavens should be in alignment, and the New Year can roll onwards. !*brav*!

Shoot, my F45 is acting up for some reason. Anything above Notch 4 makes the engine get quieter and not louder !*don-know!* but outside the cab its fine. Vertified 3 times today.
