Free Session from K&L Trainz for Coal Country Route
- Thread starter HPL
- Start date
Those are all KUIDs from Steve Lerro himself. Luckily, Steve labels all his KUIDs based on the pack they're attached to. I'm gonna guess all of those KUIDs come from the I1sa package on the site. In the second set of numbers in the KUIDs, 4483 matches up with the number of the preserved I1sa locomotive, and the 477 matches up with the first three numbers on the caboose that come with the pack.

I just picked up the Decapod earlier this weekend and it is an amazing engine. I'm enjoying the heck out of it.
Now, I'll have to pick up the route and session too. Those pictures of the route are stunning.

Looking for something called a "Decapod" and "I1sa package"
Can you post a picture of this item you call a Decapod? Or if it is in this thread, tell me which picture it shows in? I'm assuming it is some type of Locomotive.
I went to JR Site and did a search for Decapod, and nothing comes up..a search for "I1sa package" and does not come up on JR's only it wasn't found?
I bought Coal Country already.....So we are good on that, and I am a customer with JR products too.
Kind of strange I think, unless the names for these items are different?
Thanks.

I'm just at work at the moment, I'll post a release thread in the forums shortly. In the meantime if you have Facebook, search k&l trainz and the information and download links are there.
Thanks for the feedback so far everyone, it takes many hours for me to refine a session
I am not at work at the moment! Here is a link to the K&L site which then has links for downloading the session and purchasing the Decapods and the Coal County Route:

What makes a session great for me is having nice equipment, a challenging but not impossible driving experience, and lots of other traffic around. I love hearing whistles in the distance and wondering what's coming. Combine all this with a great route and lots of viewing cameras along the way and you have one of my best Trainz experiences to date.
Many thanks for all your work, Scratchy and Steve!

Um, Blue, there is only one locomotive in all of the above pictures. That might be a clue.
The K&L I1sa package includes two variants of the PRR I1sa, prewar and postwar. It also includes two tenders for each locomotive type, two different PRR coal hoppers GLa and H21, and two variants of the PRR N5c Caboose. All rail cars with auto numbering and chameleon skins.
One of the best sets that K&L has produced.

Thank you and the others here that helped me, I unfortunately wouldn't know a Decapod from ??????
, I now know it has to do with 2-10-0, and could be American and/or Russian made Locomotive, and even more ironic, now when I use the search term "Decapod" it shows up on K&L site today, the other times last week I searched for it on their site, it said nothing found, go figure!
http://www.steamlocomotive.com/locobase.php?country=USA&wheel=2-10-0
"The first 2-10-0 example used in the USA were built in 1867 for the Lehigh Valley Railroad. The next big increase in number of this wheel arrangement occurred when 1200 were ordered by Imperial Russia. However, before they could all be built and delivered the Bolshevik revolution occurred leaving more than 200 2-10-0 locomotives unclaimed in the USA. These were modified to USA standards and used by several railroads in the USA. The Pennsylvania Railroad ended up using the greatest number (598) of 2-10-0 locomotives. They were quite successfully used on the PRR Allegheny Mountain routes.
Because of the lack of a rear truck, the 2-10-0 wheel arrangement meant that the firebox be place between the drives making it very narrow or on top of the drivers making it very high and shallow also limiting the driver diameter. As a result, these locomotives could only be used for slow drag service."
So in my case I need to learn more about the different variants in Steam Locomotives of which there are multitudes, mystery solved and I am a little better educated now.
Bought the Decapod just know and downloaded the free Steam Session for Coal Country........Hurray.......
Appreciate the help you provided here.

Scratchy,
This route is superb! Paired with the equally amazing Decapod, this is one heck of a hoot to play. It is absolutely stunning - one is transported back in history so convincingly. The yard where you start out looks wonderful.
The Decapod is a beast trying to drive at 5 mph by the first coal tipple. There is a great deal of finesse required.
Thanks so much for putting this together. I stumbled upon it by accident when I was snapping up the Decapod at K&L. Simply amazing. I love it.

Downloaded and installed the Decapod, the two freeware K & L caboose and scratchys session but have one faulty asset. It is PRRLO 2003 <kuid:156765:100690>
which says it has one Unknown asset <kuid:156765:1599>
Anyone know what it is and where it is obtainable? additionally,what is the PRR LO 2003? Is it material to the session or to one of the freeware K & L caboose?
I just installed them all at the same time so didn't notice what t related to. Cheers
