CONRAIL SD50 #6785

Add-on repaint Locomotive for purchasers of the Norfolk Southern Engine Pack
By Maple Leaf Tracks "http://www.mapleleaftracks.com"

Conrail had an amazing 135 of these six axle EMD Locomotives the second largest purchaser beaten only by CSX with 144 units. These were an intermediate design between the very successful SD40-2 and the equally successful SD60 locomotives, they were numbered #6700 to 6834.

This repaint includes a freight animation to add parts characteristic of the Conrail engine. Freight animations add poly count to the original model and can reduce frame rate, playability, and on slower computers, cause MSTS to freeze entirely. Many enthusiasts of MSTS have found that by installing a patch known as MSTS BIN, most of these problems can be reduced or eliminated. Though MSTS bin is "use at your own risk" and not authorized by Microsoft, you can find more information at http://mstsbin.uktrainsim.com.
