CONRAIL SD70 #2577

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

Conrail had just 24 of these six axle EMD Locomotives. These were the last locomotives to be purchased and wear Conrail paint and were ordered while acquisition talks were going on between CSX, Norfolk Southern and Conrail, they were numbered #2557 to 2580 to make it easy for them to be used by Norfolk Southern after the acquisition as this tied in with NS's own numbering range for SD70s.


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.
