Why I haven't uploaded any paints of the FA. And yes the PRR antenna is a child object. From Face Book.

It's about time... It looks fairly good this time around compared to real photos.

They (Caesar) now DTM did this years and years ago and it was pretty trick for the time. It goes to show how thin our modeling talent is that no one else has picked up on this iconic locomotive and it's brother the PA.

Saw the additional photos on Facebook and it looks really nice. And it looks like it comes with quite an interesting set of rolling stock as well.

!!*ok*!! !*salute*! **!!bow!!** !*cheers*! !*YAAA*!

It's never been clearer to me, good things DO come to those who wait! I remember the original release fondly, it was one of the very first DLC I ever bought for this game. It's so nice to see them return, and in such splendor, too!

Thank you, Cesar, for returning these beauties to our RW tracks.

*!!thnx!!*

The new model is out and DTM misled me and said that that antenna for the PRR locomotive would be a child object so we could remove it for other roads. We it's not so I sent this back for a refund. The only reason I bought it is for other roads. !*not-ok*! Honesty in business is important to me.

DTM has reached out and assured me that a no antenna version is in the works and on the way somewhere in the DTG/Steam pipeline. Standing by for the update.

OK it is now almost a new year. Have the busy people at DTG got around to making the PRR roof antenna a child object on this locomotive yet or are we still waiting?

It's all done. He told me he sent it to DTG right after I made my last post about this so he's not the one holding it up. It's in the hands of the Death Star.

Can confirm, does not appear that the FA is updated yet. Here's hoping for 2020. *!rolleyes!*

I wanted to use Buzz's new repaint of the ALCo FA1 but discovered my DTG version is "FA-1", I guess the older version. Was FA1 a free upgrade or a new DLC? I can't find it on DTG to buy if needed.

Welcome to the forum and no, it is the same engine. Some people just leave out the hyphen.
