NEW SOUNDS
Diesels West Dash 8 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.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. Unzip contents

2. click on the install icon(UP_Dash8.exe) and follow the instructions.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Locomotive information can be found by clicking the 'details' tab in Train Simulator

These locomotives come with the 1024x1024 textures only.
