Some of you who got the TrainSimulations EMD GP60 Engine Pack might have noticed an error in the 3D model of the ATSF units, causing a hole to appear at the rear of the conductor's side walkway.

This is due to just a couple of misplaced vertices, and since it is just a couple, this is feasible to fix at home using shape file editing.
First, back up all the ATSF GP60 shapes (this is only a problem with the ATSF models, the others are all good). You wouldn't want to reinstall the whole pack after making a mistake, after all.
Then, uncompress all of the ATSF GP60 shapes. Depending on your choice of compression/decompression tool, you might see numbers with a different number of decimal places than I have listed here, but the first 3-4 digits of each value should match.
Now open each of the uncompressed shapes in your text editor of choice, and Control + F find the line that says "point ( -1.379497 1.697678 -6.061648 )". This line should exist only once, and if you can't find it, try searching for "point ( -1.379" (ie: just the first few digits) and finding the line that matches the first few digits of all 3 values. Then replace that line with "point ( -1.527325 1.697678 -6.061648 )" in each of the files.

Then, do something similar for the line that says "point ( -1.379511 1.945827 -6.06165 )", which should be just a few lines below the first point you replaced, but this time replace that line with "point ( -1.527339 1.945827 -6.06165 )".

That will fix the position of the broken vertices, note how the only value changed is the X value, both the Y and Z values are actually fine already. However, the lighting will still be wrong as it assumes the walkway is at a funky angle.
Next, to fix the lighting, in each of the files find the line that says "vector ( -0.999892 -0.000631 -0.01465 )" and replace that with "vector ( -1 -0.000631 0 )".

Then find the line that says "vector ( -0.861251 0.50818 0 )", which should be just a couple lines below the previous one, and replace that with "vector ( -1 -0.000531 0 )".

Finally, the very next line should say "vector ( -0.999893 -0.000147 -0.014638 )", this should be replaced with "vector ( -1 -0.000147 0 )".

Then open up the compressed shape in your favorite shape viewer (plenty of choices there these days) and verify the hole is gone on all 3 shapes.

And finally, recompress the shapes to save on file space.
I hope that helps make these units look a bit more pleasing so they can get their fair share in screenshots, as there probably won't be any fix other than this manual approach.
