    We have not got anything from Southern Pacific for a while so why not get this to Trainsimulator

    We most likely wont get just SP 9010 by itself, as where it actually runs (Niles Canyon) isn't officially in game (But is a workshop route)

    If the ML4000 were to come to TS20XX, it would have to be in the 60's, with both variants of the locomotive, the 6 Carbody types (The Original 3, plus the Ex-DRGW ones) and the 15 hood unit versions (Including SP9010).

    Only thing is what numbers to add to the game, the Pre-1965 numbers (9000-9017,9021-9023) or post-1965 numbering (9100-9120)

    Also Luk Rail was working on this at one point, but they seems to have stopped working on anything atm.

    Also this was talked about earlier this year too:https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/sp-d-rgw-krauss-maffei-ml4000-diesel-hydraulic.20902/

    I quite like diesel hydraulics, so I'd certainly like to see this class of loco come to TS.

    I am a huge fan of rare and unique American diesels. The ML4000 is an interesting idea. I'd buy this pack. The pack needs both the SP and D&RGW versions, plus some new 1960s-era freight cars. Perhaps we could get a new SP or Rio Grande route that includes the ML4000.

    I agree with you that we should get both variants of the locomotive. :)
    I could not find a video with the other locomotive.

    I could see a nice DTM build stemming from this, the fact that 9010 is preserved and operable means sounds and cab pics wouldn't be the hardest thing in the world anymore.
