VRC is really stepping their game up in this. Another great work of art! I was wondering when the C30-7 would be announced!

The 2-bay hoppers and 100T coal hopper look great! Can't wait to see some repaints of those alone!

The engine looks great! Would DTG consider adding an orange CSX ballast hopper to the pack? Considering that CSX C30-7s last years in service they were on ballast trains, and we already have the car in the game, it would be more than suitable. Regardless, I look forward to running this engine. !!*ok*!!

This is a beauty. Will be a well worthwhile addition. What's that ballast hopper look like anyway?

From around 2000-2005, the remaining C30-7s on CSX's roster were placed on MOW and Ballast Service all along the East Coast. Since that's about half or most of their time in YN2 Paint, I think a ballast car would be a nice addition to the locomotive.

Also, the ballast car came in a few different NS packs, HN SD40, SD70Vol.2, Heritage Packs, and the Miami Palm Beach Route.

Sorry for highjacking the thread! Just a suggestion. !*cheers*!

Volume 2 does not have a ballast car, all I remember is that it has a black BNSF swoosh ACF 3-bay covered hopper. Probably is best to use the Miami version as the C30-7 will be most used there. The AC6000 pack features a variant of the MOW hopper in a dark grey livery and the CSX logo.

I'm questioning why Jerry hasn't said a word on this topic. !*roll-laugh*!
