Installation: 
1.Extract(unzip) the installer file and ReadMe text to a temporary location. 

2.Click the installer icon and follow the instructions. Build your train using your Activity Editor. Thanks for purchasing the C.P. SD90MAC

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT: 
You must have the 'DASH9' and 'GP38' folders in the 'TRAINSET' folder with all of their sound files intact so that
your new locomotive can use some of those sounds. If you altered these folders, you will need to reinstall Microsoft Train Simulator.  
If you want to check it, it should be here>  ../Train Simulator/Trains/TRAINSET/DASH9/SOUNDS and ..GP38/SOUNDS

SOUNDS:
the CP SD9043AC locomotives come with sounds of the air tank discharge valves, or 'Spitters'.

There is an alternate horn sound named 'x_CP_2' that you can easily switch to by renaming it 'x_CP_1'   First, back up all the horn sounds in a separate 
folder. Then delete the original x_CP_1.wav file. Then you can rename 'x_CP_2' to 'x_CP_1'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BIN INFO:
ALL units are drivable, but only 9150 and 9126 have crews inside the cab. 9138 and 9150 should be used as trailing units. They are all 
drivable so you can utilize BIN's 'cab switching' when moving power. BIN is needed for night cabs, lighting, and for throttle-up sounds to function.

        The SD90MAC(SD90MAC-H) was built with the 16 cyl. four-cycle H-Engine beginning in 1996 as an upgrade version of the SD9043AC, which initially
        came with the lower horsepower engine similar to the SD70MAC. Both the '9043' and the SD90MAC were built with an isolated 'WhisperCab' cab. 
        Although the added power of the H-Engine reduced the number of units needed to pull a train, the high-powered prime mover proved to be unreliable.  
	The innovative 6000HP engine made the SD90MAC the most powerful locomotive for its time, but its service was cut short and all have been retired.
