1. yes (counts as two answers) Edit; I have just recently imported the Donner Pass route from TrainzItalia into TANE and many assets in it are faulty in TANE. I have not started any conversion work at all (speedtrees, procedural track etc etc.) I am anticipating that TrainzItalia will be making their own adaptation eventually but I got impatient. :D

2. Yes sort of. For the AM-2 I believe I accepted Paul's default numbering which I am quite sure is historically accurate. For the Daylight AC-12 #4275 that is the Lionel Model that I commissioned from PaulzTrainz and is historically accurate for Lionel and also is within the range of Southern Pacific AC-12 numbers. (AC8 4177-4204, AC10 4205-4244, AC11 4245-4274, AC12 4275-4294) The GS-2 Black has a number I selected within the historical number range. The same with the AC-9 Standard.

Well that turns out to be wrong. Apparently Paul used the build numbers. :hehe: I'll have to do something about that. Should be 3900-3911 as you said.

All the SP cab-forwards were numbered in the 4000 range, with AM-2's being renumbered into the 3900s to make room for AC-8's on the rosters. The AC-9's (the conventional one) were numbered in the 3800s and carried these numbers right up to the end. I like the shots, it was just the locomotive numbers that got me asking questions. But when it comes to the SP, I can be a rivet counter sometimes (but my therapist says Im improving, LOL).

The same is true of the AC-9s Serial numbers instead of rolling numbers should be 3800-3811 :hehe:
