  4. Please note: these locos use the custom 930 class shape that Diego Rivera created exclusively for team-ALCO. A 44 class shape was also created but is corrupt and we are unable to contact Diego at the moment to organise a replacement.

    We have had some of the MSTS community's greatest minds trying to "untangle" this .S file, but unfortunately it's been written in GMAX, which tends to create far too many triangles and vertices in the .s file which can lead to these problems.

    We have therefore decided to release the 44s with the 930 shape and will offer a shape file update/patch if and when a more correct shape file arrives.
