This Special Addition locomotive contains updated files: 

1.Extract the folder from this .zip into a temporary location, or directly into your TRAINSET folder. 
 
                    > C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Train Simulator/TRAINS/TRAINSET


2. Copy and paste the 'DWwheels.ACE' file from the CSX699 locomotive folder into each of your CSX AC6000CW locomotive folders. Overwrite the old file. 

3. Copy and paste the two shape files (CSX699.s and CSX699B.s) into each of your CSX AC6000CW folders. Delete old shape files and rename the pasted ones to the appropriate name for each locomotive.

The improvements made include higher detail wheels, better shadowing on the wheel texture file, and various shape changes to improve appearance and accomodate the new wheels.

SOUNDS
DIESELS WEST AC6000CW locomotives come with air system sounds that include 'spitters' (for the lead locomotives, when in the throttle's idle position), 
and periodic momentary discharge of air from the Main Reservoir tanks on all units(Main Reservoir Drain Valves). The spitters and Drain Valves allow air 
to bleed off from the Main Reservoir tanks discharging corrosion causing moisture. On the trailing units we have included periodic compressor sounds.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRAILING UNITS  VS.  LEAD UNITS
If you attempt to run a TU locomotive as the lead loco, the simulation will not load properly. That's why it has
a unique name in the activity editor (i.e., 'UP TU #5767 AC4400CW'), and the activity editor will prompt you that the consist is not drivable
upon saving.

TU locos work well as idle units on a siding etc., and will throttle up when coupled by a drivable unit.   
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Locomotive information can be found by clicking the 'details' tab in Train Simulator

These locomotives come with the 1024x1024 textures only.   

If you don't already have the Train Simulator update, you can get it from the website:

There is an alternate right cabview inside the Cabview folder for this locomotive.  Be sure to back up the original if you decide to swap it out.
