Hello,
first of all a big thank you from the other side of the pond for the fine engines to Allen and Herb. Right after installing them I coupled two of them to a rather short train (having no idea of their power) and set off to Tehachapi, my favorite test ground for Santa Fe engines. Watch the engines on their way up to the summit.

Thanks to everyone involved in bringing these amazing locos to Train Simulator. Looks like I'll be running ATSF for a looooooong time! :unsure: Anyway some shots;
In their later years these fine engines often saw their status relegated to branch line service; here we find 4014 on the Howard Sub.

P.S. I took the liberty of editing the "SANTA FE" lettering on the tender

Howard is a natural environment for 3160/4000's.
