I don't have the old SD60 which I believe is unavailable now, but I do have the new NS SD60 pack along with the SD60I/M pack and they are pretty darn good! Ill post some shots up here in a few.

I have several of Eyein's packs and they are truly exceptional, and you can't find content of his quality for the price anywhere. I use his dash 8's and sd90's as daily runners. The sounds are top notch and the models and physics are as close as you can possibly get.

I'm not sure what slow speed control would be, but in notch 1, it barely gets rolling even on level ground so, maybe? !*roll-laugh*!

I'm gonna say it's purely cosmetic then.

These don't have SCC and I don't believe any of the US diesels in TS17 have it either but these are still top notch with all of the functionality they do have. Even TSW doesn't implement the function yet, it's just cosmetic at this point. With the small amount of content included with TSW it feels more like an early access beta than a full sim to me. Not to say it isn't a great simulator, but real free roam and a consist editor would do wonders for it. I could handle the lack of release content if you had more options with it, and feel that has been the feeling of a lot with that sim.

The SD60s did have wheelslip control systems, but they were pretty crude by today's standards. There is a lot of written feed back about how poorly they handled wet rails on grades from the engineers in BN's Pacific Division.
