Not many railroads outside the NH had them but they'll be the oldest streamliners in the game so far. Effectively 2x ALCo rs1's in a carbody.

Rock Island had one (of everything almost!) and it was re-engined by EMD causing a hump shape to the roof. This lasted a long time and was used on the Rockets.

I should have queried the various forums more closely before I posted this inquiry. Didn't realize there was a dedicated DTM section.

Your pic shows what mine should have looked like reference the front coupler textures. Buzz said he would attempt to see if he could correct the texture when he had time. Just wondering if you could attach the Coupler texture folder that you have for me to try. Still can't figure out why my coupler was almost all white until Buzz sent me a coupler texture from an FA-1. That greatly improved the coupler but the air hose is still partially white.

Thanks

Here you go. Replace the hose texture.

Thanks Buzz, but he connector tips are still white/silver. In Harry's original pic, you don/t see white or silver connector tips. This is not a big thing as the way they look now is excellent. I'm just wondering if Cesar made a texture change somewhere along the way and didn't tell anyone about it. Could be. *!greengrin!*

Replace them in the 109 as well as the PRR folder. It should be looking at one of them.
