Does anyone have a drivable SD40.eng file that they like..?
The one I am using now has a problem visually with the couplers.
Also I was wondering if the exhaust was accurate......Tony

RE: SD40..?

I just put an SD40 ENG file on the download page....I had the same problem with the couplers but as the train got to speed the couplers linked up and looked right, they are apart only when you first start and speed up then they work correctly (I think) after that....hope it helps.controll

RE: SD40..?

I put my version of the SD-40 in the file library here...The problem with the couplers is kind of funny. According to the techdocs, the engine dimensions are defined in the .eng file in meters. But apparently feet and inches work too. In the SD-40, the length of the locomotive is defined as 65 feet + 1 meter ... which obviously makes no sense. It should be 65 feet + 1 inch and then the couplers look much better
