DESCRIPTION
Take seat behind the controls of the iconic EMD SD40-2 and get to experience the feel of a true diesel-electric locomotive right from your computer. We reached out to JointedRail to bring over their fantastic line of products to Dovetail Games' Train Simulator. Our new locomotives deliver a very realistic running experience build upon true-to-life feedback from actual engineers and conductors.
An icon of post-merger identity, the BNSF Phase 2c SD40-2s in this bundle are represented in their pre-PTC, pre-renumber (2006) configuration. These units feature the Heritage 1 paint scheme in two variants, and 3 variants of former Burlington Northern that was visible until the massive lease returns of 2006. While easily changeable to run in the post-renumber series, we wished to present you a return-to-form of the grit of railroading with this raw experience of power and control.
