Setup:

You may wish to unzip to a temporary folder first.

Requires Alco S-2 Reskinning Kit from Elvas Tower library - Early Diesels ( Pre - 1960 ) for Cabview source.

Follow the S2_readme.txt to set up Dwight Mitchell's sxcab.zip into your common.cab/Generic Eng Cabs directory.

Copy Cabview folder from Alco S-2 Reskinning Kit to Cargill_S2_RE807 folder.

Requires "ALS4_Alias_Files.zip" from Elvas Tower library - Cabviews & Sound Files for the sound files setup. To setup, follow the ALS4_Alias_Files instructions. Copy the four ALS4xxxx.sms files from the Alias folder to the Cargill_S2_RE807 Sound folder.

The Cargill_S2_RE807 engine file is set up for the default multi-chime horn sound. To use the single-chime horn, change the two engine sound lines from ALS4xxx2.sms to ALS4xxx1.sms. If you are familiar with sound aliasing, feel free to install whatever sounds you prefer.

If not there already, copy the Cargill_S2_RE807 folder into your desired \Trains\Trainset folder.

Copy the engine consist file from the Cargill_S2_RE807 folder to your desired \Consist folder and you are good to go.


Background:

RE807 is leased by Relco to Cargill. Built in 1950, this locomotive had a few owners prior to Relco. Primarily, the Portland Terminal ( Oregon ). RE807 was still working in 2006 at Cargill grain elevators at Bradshaw Nebraska.

A Google search on Cargill RE807 will turn up some interesting prototype shots and a video with some nice Alco S2 sounds.
