this loco has several problems (reused sounds from BNSF GP38-2 un-usable train brake using mouse) but is still a nice addon to have and you get new railcar.

I mean, I haven't used it yet, but I don't really see anything bad about it. Now the only thing I find strange is the fact the locomotive has it's high hood headlights set to bright when it's not the lead locomotives. It's not killing me, but I'd appreciate it if I could have my eye sight if that's okay with you Dovetail Games. Other than that, keep up the great work. Personally though, I want more than just a Norfolk Southern GP38-2 High Hood. Maybe a Utah Belt livery would be cool.

Like other reviews, I bough this thinking it would be a nice addition to my collection. I was wrong. I tried it out and found out all the sounds (engine sound, horn, AND bell are all recycled from the BN/BNSF GP38-2. I know you can change it, but still is very annoying they didn’t change it. There are also a couple issues with the cab controls (the brake lever Dosent work). If you want it, I recommend getting it during a sale, it’s not worth it’s full price.

I really wanted to enjoy this DLC as a nice road switcher for my collection, but I regret buying it for its full price. It looks good on the outside, but it is flawed on the inside. It's obvious that there was very little testing done it this locomotive prior to being put out there. And this is nearly three years later, and there is still a problem that you can spot as easily as using the brake in the cab. [h1]Pros[/h1] - Locomotive is well modeled - Comes in two liveries - Flatcar with a new load - Includes a NS boxcar [h1]Cons[/h1] - It is impossible to use the train brake using the handle in the cab, and using the HUD/keyboard controls makes it go all over the place. - Recycled sounds from the BNSF GP38-2 - Cab light dramatically decreases FPS - Low-sided gondola included is completely recycled, with no NS reporting marks - Only includes long-hood-forward variant - Cab doors and windows are inoperable - No flashing ditch lights Because of these huge problems with this locomotive pack, I can not recommend this unless you play with the HUD. It is impossible to enjoy this if you drive from inside the cab using the handles, which I like to do from time to time. I regret purchasing at full price, and I would've rather bought it at 50% off with its problems.
