READ FIRST>

LOCOMOTIVES 7541, 7518, & 7505 ARE TRAILING UNITS AND CANNOT BE USED IN THE LEAD POSITION. THEY 
DO NOT HAVE CABVIEWS AND THEY NEED THE SP 7562 TO THROTTLE UP. 


PLEASE READ THE 'README' FILES IN YOUR TU LOCOS' FOLDERS FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT TRAILING UNITS. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT: You must have the 'DASH9' folder in the 'TRAINSET' folder with all of it's sound files intact so that
your new locomotive can use those sounds. If you altered the 'Dash9' folder, you will need get it from your Train 
Simulator Disk or reinstall Microsoft Train Simulator.  
If you want to check it, it should be here>  ../Train Simulator/Trains/TRAINSET/DASH9/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. UNIT SP 7562 MUST BE THE LEAD LOCO 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

LEAD vs.TRAILING LOCOMOTIVES

'TU' LOCOMOTIVES CAN ONLY BE PLACED IN A TRAILING POSITION. LOCOMOTIVES NOT DESIGNATED AS 'TU' 
LOCOMOTIVES IN YOUR ACTIVITY EDITOR, ARE THE LEAD LOCOMOTIVES.  

If you attempt to run a TU locomotive as the lead loco, the simulation will not load properly. That's why it must
have a unique name in the activity editor (i.e., 'TU SP #7505') so you don't confuse 'TU' locos with 'lead' units 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. 
If you attempt to run a TU locomotive as the lead loco, the simulation will not load properly. That's why they
have unique names like 'TU S.P. #7505' so you don't confuse them with other locos in the locomotive list of the activity editor.
