NEW SOUNDS
Diesels West AC4400CW locomotives come with 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 Reservoir tanks 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., 'UP TU #5767 AC4400CW'), and the activity editor will prompt you that the consist is not drivable
upon saving.

TU locos work well 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:
