Train Simulations SD70M Eastern Roads

[CSRX]

Huh? I said SD60Ms, not 70MACs. BN never had any 70s in the green scheme.

BNSF never had SD70Ms

Referring to me loosely calling them "SD70M's" versus "SD70MAC's", but okay.

I do recall there were BN and or BNSF patched SD70M's.....

Moving on...

Sorry. I just got confused.

Anyway, do these new units have the new flashing ditchlight feature?

They do not have that feature, because flashing ditchlights are only compatible with the unstable version, and they are not backwards compatible with the current stable version unfortunately (they cause the headlights to break in the stable version).

I am hoping the BNSF and BN SD70MAC units would be released and hopefully they release both versions of the BNSF and ATSF SD75 units too!

Is anyone else getting this problem with all the engines in the set? its on both grilles on sides of the engine.
SD70_Problem.jpg
this happens when you move the camera around the body or as it runs by and the angle changes so you are nor looking square on to the grille on all engines

i think the problem is the upright bars that comprise the grill as close up they are shaped as below and once the view is away from straight onto the side they block your view to the interior

it also shows in shape viewer as well as in the sim.
needs a fix!!

The models are good, but they lack functionality! Already after so many years it would be possible to make models with animation of fans on the roof.

Ah, this subject again.

Only difference between an SD70M and an SD70MAC is simply the AC traction. That is it. They are essentially the same exact type of locomotive.

It is no different than calling the SD70M-2's "SD70's", or simply "70's". Because let's face it, the abbreviation after the number's gets ridiculous to a railroader, and everyone in the industry knows what you are referring to.... They are all essentially the same... junk.

We're talking about models here, so yea, there is actually a difference between the two. The MAC is longer, and has body variations. And yea, as you said, the innards are different. And in the real world, I don't think a 70M can do what a MAC can.

Burgerbern - I'm seeing the same problem on the CSX YN2 unit, and 1 of the NS units.

[CSRX]

I'll be sure to be very specific next time.

Anyways, nice models from TS, looking forward to future releases, whatever they shall be.

You pay attention more then most. I don't even know notice that anymore. Even in game where it works.

I am seeing it on every engine but its more noticable on the YN2 units as they are lighter in colour.

Including the recent UP and EMDX versions.

ALL of the reworked SD70M have that. Including the SP and EMD units in Shasta.

When will TS release the SD70ACU?

[Timbit]

What is going on?
I have the UP and the Eastern SD70M sets, and for some reason, when I put them in the route that I want them to be in, the consists don't show up, and in TSRE, the engines show up in the electric folder.
I took one of the units and put it on a train, and it shows it as the leader, but when you open the game, it is not there; you are in the cab of the second unit.
I have never had this problem with Train Simulations, and I hope that someone can help me out.
Thanks
Tim
