Massive fan of the GG1's

I suppose you're aware of the newer Dick Cowen, Rick Franzosa and a host of others updated Mega Pack?

It's in the library at ts.com. Search zt-gg1m2.zip

I remember the sound of the GG1 - it had a blower that I still remember. I remember seeing them move mighty fast. The Aem-7's after moved even faster, but they didn't seem so dramatic at it.

May I ask: is the route at pictures an advanced version of NEC?


The route he used appears to be the Pennsylvania Eastern Region V2 route from trainsim.com, which includes the Northeast Corridor from Washington DC to New York, as well as the PRR mainlines west from the Corridor to Harrisburg, and Westward still to Pittsburgh.

Thanks. The huge download consisting of about 3 dozens of parts.
Looks great.
Sorry but that is incorrect! It WAS true for previous versions ( 7 patch files to install) of the PRR but no longer the case.
I made it as easy as possible to install and run.
Just be sure to carefully follow the read me instructions!!!!

Its' a single download . . .

Please, excuse me, Vince!
Now I'm visiting TS.com quite rare, so...
I see, You and Team made a great work and I'm waiting for the opportunity to test it. For many years I searh for NEC extention, as It's incomplete.

Thank You too.
If the NECv4 was Your's creation, thank for it as well - I love it.

As You showed to me the dence-populated part of North-America. And gave me a chance to travel across it by train.

Thanks to motor1, for exciting views of that route, which remind me to ask about PRR.

Tell me, please, does it represent current (modern), or past (i.e. 50-th or so) era?

It represents the 1945 to 1960 era of the PRR.

Just to be picky about the consist, it is highly unlikely that the Congo would have a baggage car. It was normally Stainless all the way, though there were a few Heavyweight Parlour cars painted in silver 'shadowline' scheme for emergency use on the Congressional and Senator. I also have a feeling that heading north the observation would be leading, due to a tightish turn around in Washington, though I might be getting confused wth the Senator on that.
