Some early rushes of the S2, but I am going to have to hurry up as Gaetan has nearly finished the pack...

Bravo Gaetan and crew 
As an owner of your original SP C628 and C630 models, I enjoyed many hours recapturing the era when these were common in the LA and Colton area, and sometimes in the Sierra's.
The addition of the RSD12 (a regular in transfer runs between LA and surrounding yards), the S2 which I recall from my college days, seeing them shoving cars in the old Broadway yard, and finally the RSD5, which performed yeoman helper duties in the Tehachapi's during their careers, makes for a great stable (and let's not forget the earlier bonus RSD15!). As always, your modeling is exquisite. Kudos to Rod for screenshots with character! Put these together with the GPs and SDs, and you have a veritable horn of plenty for the varied SP routes in MSTS.
With the demise of MSTS-X, the work of BLW reinforces the continued viability of MSTS. And when it comes to production, BLW is second to none! 
Keep in comin'
Dave

I couldn't have said it better, except to add that now we have the awesome BLW ALCO sound!

You have found the Alco sound setup for the SP Alco Freight pack on sound utilities page Norman ?

Thank you very much Dave and Norman - I really do appreciate it when someone likes the screenshots. They are a pleasure to take, and every so often ones comes up that gives me a "wow" and makes the whole process the more enjoyable. The first distance shot of the RSD12 did that for me in this set.
Back to business - bonus reefers for the pack 
Thanks again
Rod

Norm, you are absolutely on target! I prefer to run BLW products to get that "sound". And have you loaded the SP Reefers yet? The "sound" of the cooling units has hit the mark, dead-on. Some others have tried but created less than convincing results, but this effort from BLW is stunning.  And another quality that I take for granted: the textures always look like they've been "worked", not brand new. This has been a BLW trademark for all the years that I've sampled BLW's work.
Let me get back to spotting a few of those reefers at Colfax...
Great work!
Dave

Perfect set for Cajon Pass (with some ATSF U-boats, Alligators & BLW's ATSF-pack) , Cascades Crossing & Tehachapi Pass.
Will get this pack as soon I've have money &/or the dollars being cheaper (very expensive for me now).
Keep on going guys |

I'm with you on that. Too many other add ons are either "pristine", right out of the paint shop, or else have graffitti. I like rolling stock that has been "worked" as you put it, but not worked over.

Yes, of course, but I was referring to the previous comment that even several years ago you had some SP ALCOs, but back then we did not have the outstanding BLW ALCO sound that we have now.
