To Install:
Unzip contents and click self installer icon - follow directions

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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., 'S.P. TU #7505') so that you don't confuse them with other locos in the locomotive list. The Activity Editor will also warn you when you are putting a non-drivable unit at the front of a train.

TU locos work great as idle units on a siding etc., and will throttle up when coupled by a drivable unit.

ADDITONAL FEATURES

HORN SOUNDS
We sometimes place additional horn sounds inside the 'Sound' folders of the lead units, in case you want to change a horn sound.

CLOSE-UP OF EMD CAB CONTROLS - 'CabControls.jpg'
Cabviews in MSTS are unfortunately limited to a max screen resolution of 1024 by 768. Which means the cabview image cannot exceed
1024 x 768 pixels. This makes it impossible to have both a realistic size and angle of controls, and still be able to read all the numbers
on the control stand. Everytime we have tried to achieve it, we end up with an unrealistic looking cabview, similar to the MSTS GP38. We
opted for realism. Since much of our EMD cab controls cannot be easily read, we decided to make a close-up image of our cabview
('CabControls.jpg'). It doesn't show the brake stand because there is nothing to read on those controls.

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

These locomotives come with the 1024x1024 textures only.
