V1.0

I did not like the way the loco operated.  

Tractive effort is still 65,000 I reduced the DynBrk from 75,000 to a moderate 41,500 and no more wheel slip with 20% DB @ 50mph note: I installed a re-paint and the DB was re-set to 175,000 so I moved my files so this will not happen again. I kept most of the files in the default folder to reduce this and future re-paint file sizes down by me and anyone else. note: this is why the freeware files are required.
