Along with the SDP40s and highlevel cars, i'm looking forward to all the early Amtrak stuff coming out soon.

You have to keep in mind that DTG does not make every DLC. There are many 3rd party partners in this thing. So let's not trash DTG for releasing something you can not paint. Everyone builds things differently. Apparently some do textures differently. I am sure they do not do it to make you mad.

They're probably just lazy... I'm guessing they auto-generate the UV mapping instead of unwrapping the model by hand.

Highlevels?

Funny, I was just mentioning this in another thread.

Glad it's happening, a will-buy for sure unless its somehow absolutely awful. I'm sure it will come with flimsy sounds, but that can be fixed easily enough. And I'm sure someone on here will do a nice physics update.

Thinking of available routes, it would be nice to have reskins into Pennsylvania RR (HSC), Seaboard Coast Line (Miami) and Union Pacific (Sherman Hill).

The passenger cars look like the same ones used on the Zephyr DLC.
