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
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation: 
1.Extract the folders from this .zip into a temporary location. 

2.Copy and paste,or click and drag, the locomotive folder(s) into your 'TRAINSET' folder 
                    > Programs/Microsoft Games/Train Simulator/trains/TRAINSET directory.
3.Build your consist using the MSTS Activity editor.

ADDITONAL FEATURES

HORN SOUNDS
An alternative horn sound can be found inside the 'Sound' folder of the lead units. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
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., 'TU SP #7505') so that you don't confuse them with other locos in the locomotive 
list.

TU locos work great 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:
