Just as long as everybody understands. These are Open Rails stock. No attempt will be made to get them into MSTS. They will be LOD'd however for good performance. All are in the 10's to 13,000 poly range.

By that, do you mean you've tested them and they don't work in MSTS, or you will not be attempting to run the OR cars in MSTS?

Ah, I see. It's not that I don't want you doing OR; in fact, I've been planning on getting OR once the Tristate route comes out to run your stock. Better to run accurate-to-the-prototype stock in OR than to run stock that kinda resembles the prototype in MSTS!

For Erie, you'd probably want some express cars as well, the more head end equipment the better....


No joke, mail and express brought in some good revenue.

The cars look good no matter what their behind. The K5 in the first shot was never finished due to Baker valve gear woes. Maybe some day it will get figured out.

Here are a few shots of the developing heavy weight steam era fleet. Just need some express box car's and a few re-numbers to round things out. The Berkshire looks right at home pulling these.

Actually I still need a diner and lounge too.

These all look great as usual, Allen.

Are you going to try to end up finishing the passenger heavyweight set with also an observation car? In any case they all look great. :hi: :dance:
