Big NS nerd here. Just to clarify some things: -The bell continuing to ring briefly after blowing the horn is prototypical for the majority of engines NS uses. It's a function they're very fond of. -The windshields being angled outward is a feature of the "admiral" cab, a modernized cab design that NS uses on a number of upgraded or rebuilt second and third gen EMD models, including SD40s and GP38s. -You're right that the horn is a K5LA. One of my personal favorites. It's used very extensively by both NS and CSX. On another note, I wish NS would get a bit more love in TSW. There are a lot of lines from N&W and Southern that could be adapted for the game, and no shortage of interesting and unique engines from over the years to run on them. But, Dovetail seems to be obsessed with everything in stupid fucking California, so I doubt it'll happen.
Great video. I've seen this unit in real life in Chicago, Illinois. It's a shame DTG didn't model the Illinois green diagram units of the GP33ECO like 4701.
Great review; I’m happy to see unique locos like this in the games but yikes mate those textures. Looks like something straight off of your average Trainz loco. Very flat like you say with barely any detail. Just so plastic and toy looking.

The K5LA is very common on NS locomotives
A kind of "out of context" request here, could you possibly review the Western Lines of Scotland DLC?
That's one of my favourite TS routes, but it's not on my video queue at the moment.
Nice video could you do a live stream one time ?
I Have A Pair That Run Near Me Nos. 6725 & 658 (6725 Has A K5LA & 658 Has A P5)
