SJ litt. Da Passenger Train 2nd Edition

for Microsoft Train Simulator.

Locomotive by Mats Strid (emges@telia.com) 
Cab by Mats Olsson (mats.olsson@sp.se)
----------------------------------------------------

The littera Da was operated by the Swedish state
railroads (SJ) between the 1950s and 1980s. It
was used in both passenger and cargo service. This
package contains the complete models and textures
of the engine and three different cars from that
time period. A 2nd class passenger car, a restaurant
car and a short luggage car. Sample consist files
are included for different sizes of the train. Original
textures are also included.

----------------------------------------------------
New in this version:
* The realistic cab designed by Mats Olsson is added
  in the package, now with left view.
* A new "rear" cab view added. It's activated by 
  pressing the right view button. (No instruments are
  active there though)
* A machine room view added. It's activated by
  pressing the "5" key.
* Brakes adjusted for better realism.
* The chassis has been slightly lengthened.
* The SJ logo is now the one with wings typical for
  the time period this loco was used.
* Brake handle direction in cab corrected.
* Auto installation package.

Thanks also to the members of train-sim.com forum for

the game in one piece.

Last but not least, thanks to all the excellent web
sites out there sharing info about real trains.

Repainters!

Feel free to paint these models in new or modfied 
schemes. The original textures are included for this
purpose. They are located in the extras folder for
each model in TRAINSET. Note that as the cars share
the texture file its best to repaint all of them.

Please publish your work so that we all can admire
it:) My only request is that this textfile is
included in unedited form along with the other files.

Thanks!
