@MichaelB posted:So I take it all that will change is the long hood, cab, and short hood will be plastic. But the walkways and pilots will remain metal?
Also, could you guys try to add a new function to the smoke unit which is fan only mode? That way you can see the exhaust flaps open and close without needing to run the smoke unit with smoke fluid, for those that prefer not to use it.
The walkways are part of the cab assemblies on the Genset so they will be plastic. Just like any SD70, AC6000, etc.
Adding a separate function to turn heat on and off from smoke control is asking just a bit for a single product line. That would take a separate switch on the side panel which is already packed or additional switching through Legacy remote which would require upgraded software. I think if you want flaps a flapping without smoke you will need to remove the smoke resistor yourself.
