This is the DTG New Jersey Transit EMD GP40PH-2B & Comet Car Physics & Sound Mod Pack Version 0.5

In order to utilize this freeware physics & sound upgrade, you must have purchased the "Train Simulator: NJT GP40PH-2B Loco Add-On" available here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/325991

This is a freeware pack; in no way is it to be used for commercial purposes. You are free, however to further modify the physics & sound enhancements found in this pack for personal use if you so choose.
