Club Car members, you now have a new BETA up in the BETA section of the Club Car menu. Please remember this is a working BETA. This pack is the engines that will be included with the upcoming release of the R&N at USLW soon. You guys will have access to the route as well as a beta before it goes public. We will post that info as it becomes available.

What in the pack?

RBMN SD50
RBMN SD40-2
RBMN SW1500

NEW Features!!

Startup
Shutdown
Isolate
Animated Doors (Front and back, on sliders so you can set the door where you want it)
Animated Visors (Both sides, with sliders. You set them where you want them)
New smoke FX
REAL Dynamic brakes (Sounds)

Enjoy them guys, we have some rolling stock for it as well and that will appear over the weekend in the beta section.

Enjoy!

Mike

Wow, these are great. Nice job. As with a beta, I assume you'd like some feedback?

Just a few things I noticed.

-looking out the back of the sd50 in cab view, the rear grill doesn't seem to be there, just the outlining for it.

-the startup is really cool, but when putting an engine up to notch 1, it act's as if I put it in 2, it revs up another words. Also, the sounds seem to skip a bit on notch 3.

-lastly, I didn't notice any coupler sounds. I just noticed the page said this was a feature, also it may just be me.

These are really nice, my favorite is the SW1500. I love how the front grill closes and opens according to engine heat. Really cool feature. And the door opening feature is really awesome!!!!

Thanks guys, these are awesome!
 
I also noticed the rear grill issues in the SD50 cab. I thought it was just my low end computer, but perhaps not. The only time I noticed any coupler sounds was when uncoupling two locomotives. I haven't purchased any of the SW1500's from JR yet, but I'm looking at a few if they are anywhere near as neat as these. The dynamic brake sounds have to be one of the cooler things with these even if it is minor in comparison to the other big features.

-looking out the back of the sd50 in cab view, the rear grill doesn't seem to be there, just the outlining for it. - Noted, I'll check this out and pass it along.

-the startup is really cool, but when putting an engine up to notch 1, it act's as if I put it in 2, it revs up another words. - This is how it should act, notch 1 should allow the engine to rev up to it's proper RPM. TRS was always using 7 notches for an 8 notch setup. Idle and notch 1 were the same, whereas notch 1 should have it's own sound.

the sounds seem to skip a bit on notch 3. - Known issue.

-lastly, I didn't notice any coupler sounds. - I need to double check this, noted and thanks.

Thanks Guys!
 
I love that you can lay the sun visors flat like the real ones when they are in a consist.:udrool:

Really? Wow, never knew that. Always though notch 1 stayed at the same rpm as idle. It's weird, but okay.
 
Wow - I'm loving the new locomotives. I played with them for hours. I don't know if this is on my end or not but at times it looked like when two sd50's are coupled together they get too far apart. An sd50 coupled to a sd40-2 looks just right and a sd40-2 coupled to another 40-2 looks to tight. Now this don't bother me much but just wanted to let you know sense this is a beta. The only bad thing about the new features is with all my other jr locomitives not having them. Jeff

@colwell27- Try uncoupling them, then recoupling. Ive seen this happen before and I think its a trainz issue over anything to be honest but i could be wrong.

I am a train engineer and this is one of the most common error people think a engine do. At notch 1 the engine does not rev up. I have driven F59PH, F40PH SD40-2 ES44ac, GP9rm and some GP40FH=2 and any of these made a noise at notch 1. it can even be shown in here in a FP9 Engine:

However in the GP7s, GP30, and GP38s where I work (as well as some of the stuff from NS we get), this does not occur. Notch 1 in every EMD product I've come in contact with merely pulls a greater electrical load off the idle RPM. Notch 2 is where the first rev is. I found when a lot of engineers want to lot quickly they almost immediately go to notch 2.

I think every EMD engiens does that, tonight i am driving the SD90Mac so will see if it does a noise at notch 1, but until now all EMD engines and 1 GE i drove dint made any noise at notch 1

But at 3:30 the engineer just said that there is no change in notch 1..? The first change is at notch 2.
