This is honestly what should've been happening for years, a bundle pack! $20 for 6 engine liveries and 7 rolling stock (20 if you count each livery independently). Best 20 bucks spent.

Just a question on this. Why is there such a disparity between countries/regions when it comes to prices of certain DLC's? I live in South Africa and paid R130 for this pack. That equates to $8.13!!!

Thank you for pointing this out, it makes us feel so much better. It's all about Taxation in the end. Taxation includes import tariffs, value added tax, state taxes whatever but there's only 2 certainties in life - Death and Taxes.
If SA residents are fortunate not to have pay so much I should keep quiet, there are always politicians who will change that for you.

Now the real issue is: Who is going to be the first to do the repaint of the Conrail and EL versions branded?


Update:
Apparently DTM will release Conrail and El versions "in a few days" (from their FB site)

A lot of sellers in general, not just games try to price things as much as possible to what the cost of living and average wages are in other countries. So the logic is forking over 20 USD stings roughly about as much as forking over R130 in South Africa in this example based on what the seller believes.

As far as the DLC itself goes, the exterior model imo is half decent, the shoving platforms are cool, sounds are hit and miss. Cab interior leaves a lot to be desired.

With that said at least glad to see proper eastern sd45-2's in the game.

As far as value this may be the most for the least ever put out for our simulator. You get 12 different freight cars in 20 or more liveries, and about 8 or more different loco paints and several configurations. This is right up there with DTM usual level of detail, more than adequate sounds (not much time spent yet) and a nice if not spectacular cab. Not sure what the previous poster is referring to on the cab unless he's comparing to SS cabs. All in all this is a lot for a little.

I like the little caboose (cabooses? cabeese?). It's nice to be reminded that, even today, they still have a purpose on the rails.

I tried installing the patch and the branding still doesn't show up. Any ideas why?
