Travel By Train is already working on an ATSF pack. They made a post on their Facebook page. It looks pretty good.

It got my attention too. It violates FRA regulations. Where's the horn? !*roll-laugh*!
The quality of North American content now is just pathetic. Luckily we still got Searchlight and Smokebox...

Since his site clearly states the screenshot is a work in progress, your point (other than being snarky) is?

That the quality they’re putting out is on par with Roblox.

What ElphabaWS was trying to say was that the polite and grown up way to handle this would be to write a polite note to the modeler and ask if he forgot the horn or it just wasn't on there yet instead of doing some sort of blanket comments about things. If it released that way it's fair game. When it's a work in progress it's just being rude.

Relax! It's work in process. I'm sure the horn will be placed before final release. And if you're not happy with their product quality... don't buy it.

I personally refuse to use Facebook and twitter because of drama among other family members so that presents a problem.

From my perspective, when I see a locomotive attached to a consist on some route doing what appears to be a test run I assume that it is rather close to completion or in independent testing outside Dovetail's QA.

Now returning back to the gp40x, that thing is decent.

Re: SD60

He replied to my comment about the horn and said it doesn't even have a cab yet. Still very much a WIP.
