    So awhile ago (I don't know when) The CSX YN2 GP38-2 stopped spawning on Sand Patch Grade. And yet, this has yet to be fixed. I believe some people may of reported it when it 1st was a problem, but even now on TSW4, the skin is inaccessible. I even tried to force it to spawn in formation editor.

    But as seen below, the skin just defaults to the YN3b colors. I don't know if the Yn2 skin is getting over ridden by the Yn3b paint or what, but its annoying how SPG (Which one of its charms is that each loco had 2 paints each) isn't accessible on its newer iterations. I would submit a ticket, but it seems like those options don't always get thru......

    Its also worth noting its only the GP38-2 that's bugged, the SD40-2 and AC44 are both fine.

    Not sure if you're on PC, but Kitkat fixed this bug the other day: https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/mods/c3-train-sim-world/c19-patches/i4255-csx-gp38-2-yn2-patch

    Took them 5 minutes, the loco has the wrong model assigned in the files (the Yn3b one), so it won't spawn in game with YN2 no matter what you do without this fix until DTG sort it.

    It doesn't no, and that's why it's really bad.
    I'm not joking by the way, literally 5 minutes to fix it. It's one wrong file assigned, all the other stuff is actually there.

    It looks as if they deliberately took it out though (like the dirty AC44 on Cane Creek).

    "Sorry guys, it's just too much work, but we'd love to hear your suggestions on how to improve US Freight!"- the man from DTG as he's throwing all suggestions in the trash can.

    Doesn't really bother me as Run8 is the definite US freight experience. And the upcoming Milwaukee route for SimRail is eagerly awaited.

    It makes no sense to just remove the YN2 livery on one of the locomotives, if it were a purposeful choice all of them would almost certainly be gone. If anything I think this probably leads credence to the idea that the weathered UP livery was removed by accident.

    here for me the ac44 with weathered livery from UP CaneCreek appears normally in the formation designer and in free roam

    Ok, but it got removed from the timetable. (Files are still in the game, that's why you can spawn it yourself)

    Just FYI I can neither confirm or deny if it, never bought Cane Creek, I just know there was chatter about the livery while back.

    correction: the ac44 with weathered livery UP CaneCreek just appears in the formation designer, it doesn't appear in free roam nor in the specific scenario for it "follow the dirt train" and SPG ac44 with YN2 livery just appears with kitkat mod

    Has the YN2 issue been resolved in the interim?
