My turn to show off my ignorance...
Is it narrow gauge?
Is it for MSTS?

:burp:

Actually, for those of us who are Great Western Railway fans (and I am talking about Isambard Kindom Brunel's creation, not the one in Colorado) anything under 7ft 0 1/4in gauge represents narrow gauge! :lol:

I suppose that old-school Erie people would make a similar comment.

The famous Brooklyn Trailers comes to a rest after her 1000 mile long jog from Portland, Or. This crew dies on the law at La Salle, and now another race is to begin. The southbound Coast Starlight leaves the depot at La Salle. The chase to LA is on. Replace the new Hi-tech GEVO with a simple C628 or an SD45T-2. Regardless of the era SP is what I see; always in its place, always on-time.

Huh.... surprisingly with all my randomness in MSTS (Conrail on Shuswap, CSX on the FRR, PE on the L&PS [don't have a correct PE route yet :p] amongst others), I don't have a single shot of all of it. Time to get to work

It shows the sheer quality of a product achievable with such an old simulator. Makes it all the more sad that 2 was cancelled.

Cheers Bazza

This unit had a nickname, what was it, please, it's slipped my mind?

It was UP's M10000 but I've heard it referred to as the Caterpillar due to it's resemblence to the one in Alice in Wonderland. :lol:
