For those of you who doesen't follow the Borawian Railways thread, a short scroll up from here, here is a short trailer video for the upcoming route. If you like to see more, check out the thread here (Anyone interested in doing some repaints?), or for more videos, my Youtube channel.

Hope you like it! B)

Ya know, it's quite amazing how this old dog (MSTS) is still going strong after all these years. B)
I play a number of older games and none of them are still as active as MSTS still is.
People are still creating and making routes and content for it after all these years. :D

I'm amazed...

What's even more amazing is that Bjorn is just one year older than me, and yet he managed to create a masterpiece. I wish I had half of his skill!

Bjorn, could you please feature my Dash 9s in a vid? I'm sorry, but I'd like to see some intermingling of trains.

As requested!

A coal train is put into the siding at Hernio station, between Ariza and Eibar, to let a northbound express pass by. Enjoy! B)

Nice...

Love the Camera Angles, well composed, excellent action. All we need now is 1 50 year old narrator with a good voice.

Honestly, I'm not sure if the Dash-9s would fit anymore, at least not as engines bought in mass. Perhaps it could've been an experimental locomotive, but if they were bought in mass, they would probably be from a different GE plant with a different style. Same goes for the SD40-2s.

It'd still be fine if you ask me. Almost all of the export Dash 9s look like their American Cousins. Except for the High-Altitude ones CHN owns...

But yes, the SD40-2's probably would look a little different...

I'm still a bit upset my original design wouldn't fit in, and I prolly won't make any comeback to the project because of it, but I would honestly prefer Borawia being "location unknown".

Good to see it released, though.

Why wouldn´t the 40s fit in? Heck, even Austria once used American-built and designed diesels, that by no means fit our general loco styling:

And since Borawia is fictional, why would there be any limit of what´s used and what not? If you like it, why not put it there?

(Note, this purely is my opinion. Others may of course think differently)

Cheers, Markus
