GE C30-7 diesel - U.P. C30-7 SET **NEW 2nd version** for Microsoft Train Simulator November 19, 2005 Original Model by: Diesel-West Copyright 2005 - Diesels-West www.dieselswest.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This new set of Union Pacific C30-7's is much more weathered compared to the previous release of U.P. C30-7. We also plated over the small side windows of the cab, added ditch lights, and removed the warning beacon on 3 of the 4 locomotives in this set(the U.P. 2428 still has it's warning light). This is what U.P. (as well as most railroads at the time) did with their C30-7's. Ditch lights were added as a matter of compliance with railroad rules. NEW SOUNDS This set of Diesels West locomotives come with new 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 Reservoirs 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. AIR HORNS For those who like switching horn sounds,there is an extra horn sound in the 'Sound' folder of the U.P.2493 locomotive. RAILROAD SCANNER If you would like to NOT have the scanner sounds while in the cabview, follow the instructions inside the 'NoScanner' folder, inside the locomotive folder of the U.P. 2493 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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., 'TU SP #7505') so that you don't confuse them with other locos in the locomotive list. TU locos work well as idle units on a siding etc., and will throttle up when coupled by a drivable unit. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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: www.microsoft.com/games/trainsim/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 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. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
