Who has Jerry's U30 than can do a brief beta on this to make sure it loads works OK and I didn't miss anything too serious on the paint job? PM me please.

Having fun running these in SoCal. It looks like the Santa Fe actually used these on San Diegans for a bit: http://www.rail-videos.net/video/view.php?id=11023

One of the smartest PR moves ever by an American company was when Santa Fe let every toy train manufacturer on the planet paste it's image on their products. Anyone from my generation who had a toy electric train set probably had one of these paint schemes in their toy box! It's a shame though that the company child does not follow the efforts of the father.

Hello, I've a question for VRC....I'm wondering if the U28 can be made available in Europe less the BNSF liveries? Are the Santa Fe liveries subsumed under the BNSF policy of exclusivity to the USA? I think your models and texture work are superb and the santa fe liveries suite these interesting locos....I can still look at the pictures. Many thanks

The 28CG was exclusive to Santa Fe, which is a trademark owned by BNSF. It was kind of a step-back one-off more or less because i've always wanted to do a Santa Fe livery ( the VRC GP40 was done in SF, but never made it to maturity ). For future reference though, i'm working on two more add-ons now that will be available outside the U.S.

Cannot get it started, what I'm doing wrong?
I set all switches as in manual. But after I start the engine, and it dies after 30 seconds or so.

You're missing one of the steps in the startup procedure. Also, if you're just looking for the 'quick start' to skip the process, just press the 'z' key. ...but what fun is that

[awaken1977]

I'm not seeking easy start procedure, I want to do it properly
what is missing?
1. all switches up in the cab
2. set isolation switch to "start"
3. go to engine room. prime-start.
4. go back to the cab, set the isolation switch to "run" - red lamp shines (battery no charge) and engine dies

[JerryC]

- All switches on the rear panel on.
- All switches and battery disconnect in the breaker/fuse panel on.
- Isolate to Start (this should be the default start position).
- Prime at least 11 seconds or until you hear the primer pump stop ( not longer than 20 seconds or the startup will fail)
- Start ( leave the knob in the start position )
- Isolate to Run
- GenField switch on the console On before trying to move the locomotive.

Does anyone know where I can get more scenarios for this BEAST?

[dejoh]

I know there are 3 long extensive scenarios for the NS coal Route. I'd like to see a few for The Horse Shoe Curve. I'm not the best at making scenarios, so I run a long freight in free roam on a few routes and do some switching from time to time.
