I am new to MSTS, but an old hand at computers. Thus when I started downloading new engines for the game, I had no problem with figuring out where they went, adding consists, all of that. But what is stumping me is the number of repaints of the F7, whose installation insructions all begin with "Download and install the 3D Trains Demo F7 (3DT_F7A_DEMO)....". Needless to say, the file no longer exists as you have upgraded your demonstration engines! A search of the web has not located any archive libraries with the original file, so my request is if whether in your sympathy for us you would consider a release of the original file?

By the way, I do completely enjoy the new ones, especially the caboose add-ons, as I am an old-timer Model Railroader, and do not consider a train complete without the crummy on the rear end!

All authors who had painted the original F7 v1.35 had been contacted to update their liveries. Many had complied, but a few never responded.

Although I'm not keen on releasing a loco that's no where near as finished as the updated one, I'll update the pages for the original...I just need to confirm that the file I have is indeed the correct v1.35.

Cheers!

I most sincerely thank you - I have two B&O repaints that require this file. Both are by controll@speakeasy.net according to the readme file.
