!!You must have at least Bin Patch v1.7.1022 installed in your MSTS root folder to use this model or you will get engine file errors!!

Sacramento Northern's GE locomotives numbered SNRY 650 and 651 were ordered in 1923 at $42,283 each. They came equipped with radial shank couplers which made them slightly longer than most GE 50-60 ton steeple cabs, at 39-feet, 9-inches. They rode on GE 105A trucks with GE 251-A motors, were rated 880 tons and weighed about 62 tons. These locomotives were set up for both 600 and 1200 volts and rated at 1000 horse power. 652 and 653 were added in 1928 at a cost of $44,752 apiece, followed by 654 in 1930. Because of their roof-mounted air tanks, which reminded the crews of WW2 PT boats, the 650 class locomotives were nick-named 'Torpedoes'.

2005 Model rebuilt 2009 using TSMPro by Abacus ®. New information has come into my possession since the original model was made in 2005, so some details have been improved, corrected, or added. Also, new animations have been added for the trolley pole, pantograph, cab windows and bell.

To operate the left-hand window, hit: Ctrl+NumPad7.

To operate the right-hand window, hit: Ctrl+NumPad9.

You can raise and lower the auxiliary trolley pole by keying: Ctrl+NumPad8. However the pole is strictly for show and is not powered, so if the pantograph is not raised to the wire, you will not move.

!!You must have at least Bin Patch v1.7.1022 for these animations to work.!!

Also, with this issue, the bell is animated using the wiper control (V-key). I suggest hitting the V-key followed directly with the B-key+Shift to get the sound in sync with the animation. To turn it off reverse the procedure ( B-key - V-key).
