Does it use the UP SD60 as a base model?
Then please correct the rear truck of the UP SD60M, it is the wrong way round. Do not make the same error again.

If you look at the picture you will see that the rear truck is correct.

Looks excellent, it will come with Smokebox brakes and NSCD scenarios?

Your SD50 still has no traction motors? You promised DTG an updated DRGW SD50, what became of that?
Then there is Dash8's? SD45's, GP50's in different paints, etc.
So far we have seen snow plows on the wrong end, snow plows too heigh, wonky handrails, trucks the wrong way round, missing traction motors, sand lines the wrong way round.

It seems to me you have many projects running parallel and therefor lots of chances to make errors that DTG doesn't notice because they don't seem to have USA knowledge in-house.

Are there any knowledgeable US players on your beta team that can point these errors out before sending the model to DTG?

We are glad to help good models turn into better models :D

Hi. I honestly do not understand, All our models have traction motor.
It was a long time ago sent the version update of SD50 DRGW to DTG. unfortunately they were not concerned about uploading to Steam.
Any other details you see if you can notify me please and check.
Thanks.

if you don't know the dynamic brake grills in the front, the lower left corner (or right depending on the side) is a 45 degree angle. and the left side hand rail on the nose goes straight vertical

One that makes noise. Hopefully a RS5T.
