The the Dash8-c is a good locomotive that Union Pacfic, CSX, and Norfolk Southern still use some of these engines in service. Its great for long distance trains or local trains

This engine looks very nice, however the sounds are quite horrible. It uses the default sounds from the Gevo on Cajon Pass. I would advise waiting until it is on sale and I regret buying it full price to be fully honest.

On sale, sure, it ain't bad. But it ain't great either, not for the full asking price. Not only is it quite old now, but the physics are pitifully bad and the texturing is noticeably dated. The sounds are not the absolute worst, though the engine itself is really really quiet. Luckily, not screeching flanges that nobody likes included here. You're also only getting a loco, so 20 bucks is kinda steep for this. In my opinion, it's not worth it unless you get it on sale, and even then, it's kinda lackluster. There are better options for the 10 bucks it is on sale.

The model isn't bad, but it's not good either. Here's my breakdown of it.
Pros:
-Very nice detail, including logo size, font, caps covering Ex-Conrail marker lights.
-Lights are incandescent, typical for an NS Standard Cab Dash 8.
-Accurately displayed.
-In cab controls are somewhat good.
Cons:
-Default Kuju Gevo sounds as usual for all GE Freight engines.
-Axel size is a bit small. This is typical on DTG engines.
-Takes getting the engine up to 500 RPM to start, which often results in going into Notch 8 just to get it running.
-Cab controls are a bit unusual.
Asside from the cons, I recommend this add-on, but not at full price. It's better to get it on sale as spending 20 dollars on it is crazy. It's not worth the whole cash amount but it is still a good add on to have especially if you love Norfolk Southern. Horn sounds can be fixed with mods of course.

Wait for a sale to buy this, it has the same loco sounds as the Kuju ES44AC, ditch lights don't flash, and, wonky physics.

i love the interrior of this loco. The sounds are most likely accurate to the actual engine, however i was hoping for something different. my ONLY COMPLAINT on this particular model is this : the headlights and ditch lights do NOT show that they're actually illuminated, however when you are in the dark, it does illuminate the path in front of the loco. but on the model itself, they are dark. not sure whats the problem there, any suggestions from anyone would be appreciated.

DO NOT PAY $20 FOR THIS, WAIT FOR A SALE!!!!
This DLC is not worth $20. You get only 1 locomotive and thats it!
There is a list of key details that are NOT included with this DLC.
-Ditch lights only work when horn is used.
-Incorrect horn.
-Incorrect bell.
-Same sounds as Dash 9 pack.
-No numberboard lights.
-Inoperable doors and windows.
-No sun visor.
-1 headlight brightness (high).
-The brakes on take an insanely long time to release, even when you set the brake mode to easy.
The plus side: The model is very accurate to the real thing.
Overrall: Wait for a sale, don't waste $20 on one incomplete locomotive!

Guys, ever want to make the locomotive sound accurate? now you can if you go to this website https://www.store.searchlight-simulations.com/enhancements-index-1, go to were it says GE 7FDL-16-EP, download (its free now) and you will have a great time, it includes the real sound of the NS Dash 8 like the horn, bell, engine and also it fixes the ditchlight bug which now it turns on all the headlights, not just this locomotive also for other locomotives as well, trust me with this pack you won't be disappointed

Nice engine, I love it but it has small flaws
-Same engine sound from the ES44DC
-No flashing ditch lights
-Wrong horn
-Bad bell
If you look past that its fine! Mods make it better anyway. The engine looks really nice on TOFC's and Stacks trains. I recommend you to wait until it goes on sell but it's good!
