It won't be long now, really. I can't say more than that.

[Hunter1]

I can respect that.

Does the cab view in the SD70 ACE work or is it just a tandom locomotive ?

What SD70 Ace, Mike doesn't have a SD70 Ace?


Or perhaps I've missed something.

Yes, the cab view works.

Yes, the cab view works.

However, the core code doesn't handle steam-diesel lash-ups correctly, so if you do switch to the diesel cab, strange things will happen. The diesel simulation will take over and when you switch back to 844's cab, it won't respond properly. When you run 844 with 8444 in tandem, you should not switch to the diesel's cab, but run the diesel always from the m.u. controller.

Quite happy to be proved wrong, but not for my 2c - they haven't posted Part 3 of Mike's Run through to Laramie and I cant see them passing on an opportunity to drag it out just that bit longer

Having said that, it is your Halloween and all and maybe it will be the treat for us all...

Either way to Mike...

Smokebox - Can the SD70 ACE even be driven as solo vehicle?

To Smokebox - That FEF-3 Package is worth it's weight in gold .The contents are = The FEF-3 That can have the wind wings and mars light on or off the locomotive .The rail simulator UP rolling stock And I think completely functional specially scripted SD70 ACE .The package is estimated in my opinion to be somewhere around $80 or 50 pounds and the price (from what I have read) is $20 I presume?...Also is there a weathered FEF-3 or just clean new version?
