About This Content Picture the Electro-Motive “E-unit.” For an entire generation it was THE motive power for America’s passenger trains – and now the elegant E-unit waiting for you in Train Simulator in the form of the EMD E8 in two classic Amtrak liveries!When Amtrak was formed as the United States’ intercity passenger carrier in 1971, the company was faced with patching together a fleet of second-hand locomotives. Amtrak first turned to Electro-Motive’s E8 and its younger sister, the E9. Amtrak would operate nearly 200 E-units and the stylish EMD diesels became the workhorses of the early Amtrak era.The E8 was produced by EMD from 1949 to 1954, and nearly 500 were built. The E8 derived 2,250-horsepower from a pair of EMD 567-series V-12 power plants, rode on an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement, and could be geared to operate at up to 117 miles per hour. During Amtrak service, the E8s operated throughout the country, handling both long-distance trains as well as short-haul services. Amtrak operated its last E-units into the early 1980s.The Train Simulator Amtrak E8 is provided in cab and booster configurations and is available in Amtrak’s original red-nosed “Phase I” livery and stylish striped “Phase II” scheme. Single- and dual-headlight versions of the E8 are provided as are “as built” and rebuilt variations.And there’s even more! Accompanying the E8 is Amtrak passenger equipment ideal to re-create U. S. passenger trains of the 1970s and early 1980s. Included with the E8 are an Amtrak baggage car, 48-seat coach, dome-coach, 10-6 sleeper, and diner in Amtrak’s Phase I passenger car livery. The Amtrak E8 DLC features career scenarios on the Miami - West Palm Beach Route Add-On (route available separately) and even includes Train Simulator’s popular Seaboard Coast Line General Electric U36B and freight equipment to provide era-authentic freight traffic. Amtrak’s legendary Electro-Motive E8 is ready to highball in Train Simulator service!

The bloody noxe silver star brings me back to a by gone era of musle trains.. Very Good but Part two Scenario does not give you enough time to finish to achieve the final destination on time! a run time issue from programming or development issue I'm sure an update would sort it out! I know this as I have completed them all already! I can understand why there is a 25% discount, probably this is the reason!. Eagerly awaited by some and a mixed reception by others but here is the E8.The modelling inside and out is not bad and the liveries are very nice plus there's bound to be alot of 3rd party reskins on the way due to the E8 being rather popular loco's and the carriages look rather nice but no passenger view though. The loco's can take awhile to accelerate and brake so you'll need to get used to that but it dosen't take long. The only downsides so far is the sounds which are the usual copy and paste but the more annoying one is that the second scenario is completely broken and a official fix unlikely to happen in the near future.A welcome goodside though is despite the regular price being the usual $19.99 you also get the U36B included so you're saving an additional $19.99 which is great if you don't own it already or starting you're US collection.Despite the issues I'm satisfied enough buying it during it's 25% off intro sale.. what a cool locomotive, i notice this locomotive have 2 engines.. Other than reused sounds(which can be fixed) this is a great DLC. Locmotive is modelled nicely looks amazing! I have not had any issues with it.. The EMD E8 exemplifies all that is wrong with DTS's north american products, from it's horrid sounds to it's braking issues. The E8 is exactly what we've come to expect from DTG, the sounds are identical to those of the Kuju F7s from years ago, the coaches are all reused, varying in origin from the Empire builder to the CZ. Rant over, pros and cons time.Pro's:Reskin potential. The E8 is likely to serve as an excellent basis for numerous reskins, from the Pennsy to the CB&Q.Cab textures. The cab textures are fairly good, with few issues, it also (fairly) closely matches what photographs I've seen of real E8 cabsPaintschemes. The quality of the locomotive paintschemes is nice, nuff said.Opening cab doors. That's nice I suppose, not that it effects the sounds or anythingConsSounds. Gee! what a surprise, reused sounds from kuju F-units really dont cut, who'da thunk.Physics. The brakes are of they're standard horrible quality, and to add insult to injury, the cab includes a nonfunctional brake mode selecter switch to taunt you. otherwise it seems fine, I honestly cant really tell.Coaches. The coaches are all reused, mostly from the California Zephyr addon, as well as a few from the Empire builder all those years ago, it certainly would have been nice to have all the coaches be of the same quality. also the only passenger view is from an ex-EB dome car... yippee.Wrapping it up. As is normal, us americans get to take it up the bum, while I dont regret the purchase, I do not recommend this addon to anyone other than dedicated masochists bent on suffering while green with envy for the brits and germans.P.S. sorry for the caustic attitude and poor grammer, finally getting a locomotive i've wanted for years only to (as expected) be let down tends to\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665me off. I retract my previous review stating that \u201cthis is essentially a recycled EMD F7 locomotive with an EMD E8 body and cab view.\u201d Aside from the longer car body (the F7 is 50 feet, while the E8 is 70 feet long) there is a difference is power. The E8\u2019s with an A-B-A or A-B-B power arrangement can do more than what F7\u2019s do with A-B-B-A. The sounds are recycled, though. The heritage passenger cars in \u2018phase I\u2019 livery are new. The red lights for the last car glow a brilliant red color when turned on. In closing, the Amtrak EMD E8 trainset is fun and easy to drive. It makes for creative 1970's era scenarios on many routes. It also opens the door for other railroad\u2019s repaints (can you hear me, Union Pacific?).. This is one piece of motive power that is so highly needed and finally it's here. I know you will hear a lot of moaning about the recycled sounds. But really people, you should be use to it with running T-S now. Besides with all the alternate sounds available, it is an easy fix to one's liking.One thing I would have liked to have seen was a "Patched" paint job from the true early days of Amtrak. A patched PC, SCL, BN unit thrown in to the bunch would have been great. It would have felt like it was 1971 all over again (for me at least).But I am sure there will be a slew of repainted for these units. Being that almost every road had these E units. That will bring a true windfall for a lot of the USA routes.Myself, I like these units alot. I am a person who loved running east coast fallen flag routes, these will come in quite handy, And they are a nicely made model for T-S. And with 25% off at the release of it on Steam, well worth it. A thumbs up on my end here. !
