Elvas Tower: Rock Island Consolidation 2137 Open Rails Only - Elvas Tower

Rock Island Consolidation Class 2-8-0 No. 2137 Open Rails Only

The 2-8-0 Consolidation was the standard wheel arrangement for most main line freight steam locomotives for the first twenty years of the Twentieth Century. This particular locomotive was constructed by ALCO in 1914. The Consolidation Class enjoyed a long career – after they were replaced on the mainlines they were used for branch line duties and switching work. Many remained in service until the final days of steam in the 1950’s.

Installation:
1)Unzip ri2137 into a temporary folder.
2)Copy the folder titled "ri2137" to your MSTS Trainset folder.
3)Make a consist and its ready to run.

Note: This model is for Open Rails only! It works fine in Open Rails but for some reason I have yet to figure out it causes MSTS to crash.
