Train Simulator: BNSF SD75 Loco Add-On DLC

This DLC pack was originally released in 2012, back when RSC was the original developer of Train Simulator. I have mix feelings about this pack which i'll explain down below. This DLC is far from perfect and has serveral flaws with it that haven't been fixed for years back makes up for it in other ways. The price is really good but only buy when there is a sale. Whats included: 3 locomotives: -ATSF SD75M (Warbonnet) -BNSF SD75M (Warbonnet) -BNSF SD75I (Warbonnet) Rollingstock: 4 (4-Bay) Hoppers 3 Piggy back flat cars 3 Lumber Centerbeams 3 Woodchip Hoppers (Exactly the same as the ones from the Dash 9 Pack) 1 Grain Hopper 1 low gondola This is everything that is included in the pack apart from some scenarios for the Cajon Pass route. However, I need to explain the pros and cons of this pack. Pros (locomotives) -Exterior and interior both very detailed. -Cab light works (Can only be turned on from inside the cab and not from the keyboard) -Step lights work (Can only be turned on from inside the cab and not from the keyboard) -Numberboard lights can be turned on/off (Can only be turned on from inside the cab and not from the keyboard) -Instrument lights (Can only be turned on from inside the cab and not from the keyboard) **Important feature** You have the option to have "No Driver" in the cab, this is important for when you want to use the editor and put a consist together. This makes it more realistic. Cons (locomotives) -Sounds aren't that great. -Engine sounds, bell and Horn are exactly the same as the SP SD70M, BNSF SD70MAC, UP SD60M and SD70ACE VOL 1. & 2. pack -Doors & windows are inoperable -Stretchy couplers -Dynamic Brakes are buggy. -Headlights don't illuminate the track well and you can't see them from a distance ( Example of this are the headlights from: Amtrak F59PHI, P42DC, UP SD60M, and F59PH) Pros (Rolling Stock): -You get a variety of different freight cars, thats about it Cons: -Stretchy couplers -Sounds: The cars don't sound like a real heavy freight train. Final points: The DLC by itself doesn't run well. If you are going to use the locos, use them with caution or don't use them as the lead unit. The DLC's only good aspect of it is all the rolling stock you get. Dovetail needs to update the sounds and fix the bugs. Do not buy at full price. Score: 5/10 Meh I can only recommend this if there is a sale or if you really want the rolling stock.

This is a semi good add on pros SD75I, SD75M with BNSF patch or BNSF letting ( like the BNSF Fakebonnets) rolling stock even though its gerni, H4 reskin cons horrible psychics, bad horn, engine sounds meh, lights don't illuminate the track, rolling stock sounds are the same sounds If the pros out weigh the cons get it.

The train itself runs and looks great but the headlights have a bug...the lights come on in front but have no lighting effect.

I really enjoy this a lot. It's great for people who enjoy the classic times when ATSF warbonnets were around, or after the merger. I HIGHLY recommend buying this with the bnsf dash 9 pack since they tie great together :)

Don't get me wrong, this dlc is great, but get an enhancement for this dlc and it'll be even better. It also comes with woodchip hopper/gondola things so why not?

Not bad but not great at all. I have nothing but issues with most of Cajon Pass and everything that rides on it. Not sure if it is the route causing all the issues or the stock or a combo. The locos do look good though. I did not get it for free. I paid for it with my own money.

As a EMD fan it is good. I recomend it for the true USA experiance As well as some other games (Farming Simulator and American Truck Simulator) Includes Intermodal equipment and manifest equipment as well as EX-ATSF SD75. Also fun fact the SD stands for Special Purposs.

BNSF SD75 This seems to be a step up from the past. It is very fun to drive and has relatively few flaws (see below) Note: For players that find the headlights are not producing any illumination at night, go into settings and check the box for "Headlight Flares' What I like: - Overall model looks very nice - SD75I and SD75M included - Warbonnet ATSF and BNSF post-merger liveries included - New cab with more working switches and buttons - New control stand which looks very snazzy - Also very thicc brake handles. Looks very 1990s - Unlike another RSC pack that shall go unnamed, which includes ONE hopper, this pack comes with a ton of rolling stock. - Many good freeware repaints available, I recommend these: [url=https://railworksamerica.com/index.php/download-library/engine-repaints?view=document&id=2472:cn-sd75i-freeware-pack-2-0&catid=18:engine-repaints] CN SD75I pack (also includes a new horn) [/url] [url=https://railworksamerica.com/index.php/download-library/engine-repaints?view=document&id=3032:bnsf-h4-sd75m&catid=18:engine-repaints] BNSF Heritage IV (H4) SD75M pack [/url] What I wish was changed: - Same horn and bell as the SD70ACe/SD70Mac/SD70M-2 pack. Personally, I use the horn from the above CN SD75I pack. - RPM values are copy-pasted from the SD70 packs - Traction motor load-up values are too short, creating jerks when starting a train - Classic RSC stretching couplers All of the above can be fixed with [url=https://railworksamerica.com/index.php/download-library/accessories?view=document&id=1932:emd-sd75m-sd75i-physics-mod-pack&catid=24:accessories] this modpack from FanRailer (Mike Kam). [/url] Overall, I would recommend this pack for sure. It's different than the SD60s and 70s and has its own little happy place on the EMD timeline. Comments are enabled, say something if you have a question, etc and I will get back to you.

I purchased this along with the SD70 Vol2 dlc pack to round out my BN/SF stable. I like that there are variants for both Santa Fe and post merger lettering. Soundwise these locos are identical to the SD70's, so nothing new there. If you like the sounds of the SD70, then you'll like the SD75. Along with the war bonnet paint scheme there are some minor differences inside the cab. It actually "feels" a bit more cramped inside the SD75 than the SD 70. Like the SD70's, the headlights don't work very well. They turn on, but do not cast any real light ahead of the loco, so night time scenarios are rather pointless. Aside from that, it's a decent loco that will add a bit of history to your BN/SF stable. The locos do look good, and are a joy to drive. If there were a star rating system, I'd give it four stars.

I like the engine alot! three liveries and a good mix of freight cars and scenarios. It is great for using on Cajon Pass or Pacific Surfliner. Sounds are the same as the SD70Ace but easy to replace with the sounds DTG put on the SH SD70M. I recommend this add-on!
