About This Content The EMD FL9 was arguably one of the more unique locomotive designs ever conceived, but plied its trade on New York’s commuter lines for more than 40 years.Born from a drive to replace worn out and ageing ALCO DL109 and Boxcab Electric locomotives, New Haven president Patrick McGinnis ordered 60 of EMD’s FL9 locomotives in 1956 to operate solely on the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad (NH).The hybrid electro-diesel model was seen as direct competition to the less popular Fairbanks-Morse dual power P-12-42 locomotive, and was designed specifically to run under both diesel and electric power to accommodate the electrified lines running under the East River and into New York’s Grand Central Terminal.The FL9 was considered successful, despite being underpowered when compared to the electric locomotives they replaced, and survived a number of railroad mergers that saw them eventually retired under Metro-North ownership in 2009. Despite this, a few FL9s are still in occasional revenue-generating service, whilst some have been preserved in museum collections.The EMD FL9 for Train Simulator is available in New Haven ‘McGinnis’ heritage livery, as operated by the Connecticut Department of Transport in the 2000s. Features of the model including in-cab signalling as seen on the New York-New Haven line. Also included are Metro-North Shoreliner III passenger cars with passenger view, and driveable cab car.The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the New Haven FL9 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for the NEC: New York-New Haven route (available separately and required to play these scenarios).ScenariosThree scenarios for the NEC: New York-New Haven route:Grand Journey: Part 1Grand Journey: Part 2A Stormy Trip to the Big AppleMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

Otherwise the actual model is nicely detailed, though as another reviewer mentioned it would of been nice to have new coaches with CDOT colors or Shoreliner IIs.. I like the locomotive, being a fan of Commuter and Intercity Passenger Services in the Northeast but the sounds are copied and pasted from the original Kuju F7 if you want better sounds for the FL9\/AC just download Fan Railer's Physics Mod here at {LINK REMOVED}http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/download\/yq1pq7hu31dpwr5\/TS2016_DTG_New_Haven_FL9_Physics_and_Sound_Mod_Pack.rar or if you want the updated version click on this link below {LINK REMOVED}http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/download\/yq1pq7hu31dpwr5\/TS2016_DTG_New_Haven_FL9_Physics_and_Sound_Mod_Pack.rarOverall Rating: 9\/10. I do like the model itself. I would prefer if it had a different way for the light settings (Theres 4; red class lights on, bright, med, dim. In order) The ditch light is modeled over top of the light effect from when the light is on, so downside on that. Also hate the original F7 sounds reused.. Agree with others about the sound bugs, most notably the fact that once you go to notch 8 (in diesel mode), the sound effects of the trailing unit stay in notch 8 no matter which notch you decrease to. I was rather hoping it would feature the Hancock air whistle instead of the horn. Nevertheless, it's a beautiful model of a beautiful (and iconic) locomotive. I especially like the cab interior, different as it is from almost any other engine built. As a fan of the FL-9, I would like it more if it wasn't for the sound issues, but I like it all the same, and I enjoy exploring the Northeast Corridor DLC with it.. best train ever. To start, I was wary about this one, because of reports of horribly reused sounds, and reused rolling stock, but, I was pleasently surprised!!!Model: The model, to my knowledge, is dead on.... Nicely done small details featuring items like cooling lines on the roof, extra fans, and nice MU cables on front and rear really help this one along! The trucks (bogies) are really nicely done, with the distinctive 5-axle setup! Nothing wrong with the model that I can tell!Cabview: The cab may be my favorite part of this DLC: DTG built this cab what looks like completly from scratch, and I daresay they did a stupendous job! The control stand is beautifully modeled, with lots of little switches and lights to look at! You have both cab lights and instrument lights (I and L keys respectively) to play around with, and many of the switches on the control stand have a function. Cab is superb!Physics: DTG almost got the physics correct. The acceleration seems more realistic then previous DLC's, it doesn't speed up to 20 MPH in 10 seconds, it actually takes a while to get up to speed. The brakes are where it falls short, brakes coming on very fast and releasing very fast. All in all though, they are easy to look past and do not affect gameplay too much.Sounds\/Miscelanious Features: The sounds are where this loco takes a very large and very quick downfall, DTG, for some reason, decided that this loco has the EXACT same sound set as the old F7 from KUJU. Yes, in real life, it would have the 567 Prime mover, but I'm talking EVERY sound was the same. The good news is that sounds can be easily changed, and once they HAVE been changed, then the loco becomes much more enjoyable. Lights for this loco have a number of ways to be set up. Headlights have the option to be red (marker lights), bright, medium, and dim, in that order, and really make you feel like you have control over the smaller points of the engine. The ditchlights can be toggled with the "J" key, but do not flash, which I have a problem with. Since this loco has been modeled for when they were in service for ConnDOT, the ditchlights should come on with horn and bell (bell comes on when horn is pushed, which is nice.), but honestly, its not that big a deal. Also, this loco features one of my favorite things so far for TSxx, which is the ability to ACTUALLY switch from Diesel to 3rd rail power... This feature was supposed to be implemented on the P32, but to my knowledge does not work.In conclusion, the FL9 is one of my favorite locos for Train Simulator 20xx, and as to wheter or not I recommend it: That would be a DEFINITE yes, with a final score of 4\/5 stars!!!. I would recommend you buy this but only if it is on sale. Engine looks pretty sharp but sounds are recycled and terrible.
