    Oh my apologies, I guess I should have said more than just these, but the SD40-2's, SD45's, etc.

    Ah regardless, looking forward to downloading these!

      The only unit shasta has that would work for DRGW is the GP60, which it already includes one that could easily be renumbered to the other two units. The rest of EMD standard cabs included are SP spec and wouldn’t work for DRGW units.

          ^Question: Why does the 9985 have Fred Flintstone wheels (which ruins the locomotive for me) and the 9753 has good wheels?

            My best guess is a comparison shot. 9753 looks really good.

              9753 uses the UP SD70M shape because TS doesn't have an SD70MAC. The only other decent SD70MAC is Nash's.

                        Those BNSF locos look very good. One of the newer things--and a very ugly newer thing--that is finding its way on more and more prototype BNSF Dash 9's is a steel "box" built around the exhaust stack. This is supposedly a closable box to put a "lid" on those locos' exhaust stacks when they are in storage. I haven't been able to get a good photo from above looking down on the "box," but they sure are ugly from ground level. Though ugly, a freight animation of that "stack cover" might be an addition to some of those Dash 9's--only to represent what they too often look like in the "real world" today.

                          Are they fixed in place or removable?

                            Been something I've been wanting to make, but with the lack of good up close photos, I haven't bothered. I've also seen some with a full cover over the exhaust, with the sides open for the exhaust to come out, almost like a chimney cover.

                              I have thought about it. I'm not sure if there's a freight animation of them out there though, otherwise I would've used it for sure.

                                I think it's a cover/exhaust filter.
