I've been enjoying the UP Super pack but did notice that the trucks and wheels of UP GP40 908 are not animated.

I tested my units (and the tunnel motors) all had the wheels animated. They are a little hard to see, especially on the shady side of the locomotive but they are there and moving.

When you mention the trucks, are you refering to the axle hubs? I don't think they are supposed to rotate (as they do on freight cars and passenger coaches) but I'll defer to Chip on that one.

I find no such wheel lockup on 908, but there is a lack of animation on 1538 (which has the 'M' type trucks.) I'm working on a patch for this, will post shortly.

Here is a patch to address #1538's wheel animations. Unzip, unlock the .exe file with your UP GP38-2/GP40-2 set keycode, and install in your MSTS folder (overwrites gp40_up1538.s).

That's weird, and thanks for the quick fix. Here's a picture of my 908 on a sharp curve.

I'm not seeing any problems with the bogies -- what route is that? I'll try to replicate it.

I can no longer duplicate the problem either. If I remember correctly I was running the 908 with the 1538 trailing when I had the problem (I seperated them for the screenshot) but today they are working fine together at the same location.
