I am pleased to announce the release of the U34CH in EL-NJDOT as well as the transition period 1983 "Silver Nose". This will be 2 units included in a pack on the "Marketplace", whatever that is. DTM also announced the release here:
https://www.facebook.com/Digitaltrainmodel. The units have been sent to DTG for review, and they will be out very very soon.
Sorry for the delay folks, it was on me. Between fixes for the horns, physics and the brakes, plus full month where I just decided to let the project rest, we didn't get this out fast at all. On to the brakes and physics; a special thanks to cnwfan for all his work to fold, spindle and mutilate the scripting so we can get something similar to Electric Hold in both the U34CH and the Cab Car. Frankly, it gets the job done. You will be able to make a service application, pull the brake back to "initial reduction" or "hold lapped" and the unit will maintain the application without losing brake line pressure until you release. As noted previously - Electric Hold was the 'thing' that makes this unit a game changer in train handling out on the New York Division. This will get you look at your air gauge and to plan ahead before your do your station stops. It's pretty fun to try and master.
Let's do some pictures:

So what do you get?:
1. New Horns, the horns are both SU3L but one is from a retired cab car and the other from a 1970 SOO locomotive. I did the sound and it gets the job done.
2. New Braking system that emulates the Electric Hold ( Lap)
3. Improved physics that add weight to the coaches.
4. Place holder "rings" for the NJT Dot Logo that will be available in a separate download.
5. Wheel squeal removed
It's my understanding this will be $5.99, in the market place with the dependency being the NJT Transit U34CH.
I still could not get OpenRailers very cool coach sounds in the unit - I hope he can hook us up in the near future.
Thanks to everyone for their advice, assistance and time to make this happen. Really without the help from the Pullman Museum and the United Railroad Historical Society of NJ we would not have these coaches and the cab interiors - that was a big deal. I spent two years on this project with all the research and beta testing. Its a darn shame I don't know how to make these models, but I am a fair route builder. I did EVERYTHING I could to get Erie Lackawanna as DLC and came up short. I will not forgive New Jersey Transit for their lack of "historical perspective" and preventing these 2 units from being in the original steam package. I am sure you all understand.
Lastly, thanks to DTM for taking this on and putting the 100s of hours into this project.
