About This Content The second generation EMD GP20 ushered in a new era of turbocharged locomotives on American railroads, and now this 2,000hp heavy freight hauler is available for Train Simulator in Southern Pacific livery.The EMD GP20 was seen as leading the way in a new age of turbocharged diesel locomotives, even though some of EMD’s competitors had been experimenting with higher horsepower models several years earlier. In reality, the GP20 only offered a small increase in horsepower over its predecessor, the GP18, but EMD’s salesmen touted the locomotive’s ability to reduce consist sizes and maintenance costs, and increase speeds to secure sales.GP20s could be identified ahead of similar GP7, GP9 and GP18 models by an additional small radiator fan ahead of its large aft fan, the prominent bulge behind the cab which housed its turbocharger, and a single large exhaust stack.Of the 260 models built by General Motors’ Electro-Motive Division between November 1959 and April 1962, Southern Pacific operated 34 locomotives and also took ownership of the four demonstrators originally used by EMD. Many of the locomotives served reliably for more than 30 years but were less promising for rebuild programmes than other GP classes, and most were scrapped. However, some can still be seen on short lines today with two models officially preserved.The EMD GP20 for Train Simulator, developed by Reppo, is available in Southern Pacific livery and features a highly detailed cab interior with operating switches, advanced and standard driving controls, realistic engine start up procedure, accurately modelled simulation, engine overheating and working unit selector.The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the EMD GP20 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for the Donner Pass route (available separately and required to play these scenarios).ScenariosTwo scenarios for the Donner Pass route:Freshly Frozen Norden WatersSparks-Reno ShuttleMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

It is one of the, if not the best diesel on the train simulator market. It has so many awesome features including a realistiic cold start procedure. There are even working engine fans and heaters to control the temperature of the engine, and you can overheat it, so be careful! It has a prototypical horn (Nathan P3) for SP. PROS:-Amazing sounds, awesome horn and bell, nothing recycled-Full start up procedure-So many working switches in the cab-Bell has air sounds turning on and off like a real one does-Incredible amount of detail on the outside-Other touches like the opening cabinet which even sways as the loco drives when you leave it open!-If you set the weather to foggy and leave the loco sitting for a while, the windows get blurry with fog!-Working marker lights CONS:-No working windows or doors-No conductor\u2019s side viewI give it 9\/10. Overall this is one incredible loco.. This is one of the top locomotives available. Along with Smokebox's FEF-3 and Consolidation, and the U36, this is a "must have" item. There's a bit of a learning curve with the advanced version, but you'll be very happy that you bought it. Highly recommended, without reservation.. I WANT THIS SO MUCH!!!!!!. Really the best American Diesel in the whole DLC library, because it's the only one with actual operational features for start up and running, along with operational physics and limitations not found in any other locos.SImply the best for diesel driving that you can get here.. I just love this little engine! Has a great horn and bell with it to. I like the cold start set up you have to do in order to get it going. If you don't like that, you can always select the standered version in game and get the one that's already started up.. IMO Reppo and VRC should be the standard for all DLC in this game. The GP20 is amazing in every way. DTG should take notes on how proper sound, controls, and immersion can bring a loco to life.. This loco is AMAZING!
