Just released today. Always a pleasure seeing new content from TS.

Maybe I'm a little slow, but I don't get it.
The SP Shasta route comes with 6 SD45T-2 units, and there's a megapack of repaints here in the library.
Are the units in this pack substantially different than all those?

Yes, full SP light package, plus the L windows on the 1970's vintage locos (not on the 80's era)... the Shasta ones are 90's vintage after the SP Light package was lobotomized.

Thanks for the clarification. Cool 😎

Looks like there are also anti-climber equipped units as well which did not come with the Shasta Route. Thanks for those TS folks!

I was working on prescribing other sounds to these locomotives, and in the process of testing in the game bugs popped up on some models. (screenshots below). The following numbers from this pack have this problem: 9200, 9305, 9344, 9389. Untitled.jpg

In other words: Only the models with the L-shaped windows have this bug. It is also visible in the simulator, not only in shape viewer.

yes it as if the entire inside face of the door is missing behind the engineer , i progreesively went theough all the dds files in shape viewer disabling them one at a time and the area never turns white for any dds file suggesting its not even being referenced in the shape file, i also went through all the prim states and changing any of the primstates (ones that are turned off to on and visa versa) that also had no effect, needs a shape file fix

[LinxGet22]

Well, I have already sent a letter to the developers, attaching screenshots, indicating the models that have this problem. Waiting for a response.

Needs a shape file fix

Issue has been fixed and is ready for re-download for those affected. Just download from the old link and re-install, everything should be good.

A real testament to the Open Rails physics of 'maximum powered axles', as often seen in all the prototype operation timetables.....

I put all 8 motors on the point of an 80 car train of Shasta rolling stock just to inspect the entire new lot of engines in-game, tried starting the train around Hotlum on a 1.4% uphill grade. Not a real steep grade by any stretch of the imagination. Every time I went from notch 3 to 4, couplers would break among the freight cars.

Re-starting the same movement, I shut down prime movers on motors 5 thru 8, leaving the front 4 as providing the only powered axles. I was able to get all the way to 8th notch without breaking any couplers. Down side was train was only capable of 20 mph max uphill. I re-fired the 5th motor while in motion, putting it back on-line, and speed increased to 24 mph while still in notch 8.
