DTM UP U50 Physics & Throttle Mod

This is a physics and throttle mod for the UP U50 created by Digital Train Model (DTM).
As a bonus, it also includes a Leslie RS5T-RF and an early GE Steel Bell (credit to Stephen Bulla), and Krellnut's Freight Car sounds for the freight cars.

To install...

  • Copy the "Assets" folder.
  • Paste to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RailWorks.
  • Overwrite when asked to do so.

That should do it! If you have any issues or any questions, or if something needs to be corrected or added, leave them in the comment section!

Update: I corrected the Simulation to where the brakes release at 90 PSI. Previously, I had forgotten to check the brake physics, and it seemed like the brakes were fully released around 75 PSI or so, which was incorrect.
