Mount Washington Cog Rwy, Mount Lowe Rwy, Mount Tamalapias Rwy, Reading-Gravity RR

Who is interested in gravity and cog RR's such as: Mount Washington Cog Rwy, Mount Lowe Rwy, Mount Tamlapias Rwy, Reading-Gravity RR ?

If any DEM maker out there is interested in these highly mountainous lines, please post here. Three of these lines are gone forever, and a DEM of each would be totally fantastic.

I would love to recreate the Mount Penn Gravity Railroad in Trainz. (The one that overlooked Reading, PA) The only problem is, I am not sure if it is possible in trainz to have a railcar that has operatable brakes in cab mode when you don't have an engine attached to it.

At least we have standard gauge shays now, so that is one half of the puzzle completed.

The cars would be shoved up the mountain to the resort by a shay, and then they would be cut off and roll down the mountain with the only control being the brakes. (And trust me, they were needed. People died when the brakes failed.)

you could just attach an invisible loco to the 'gravity train" and use it to control it

Are locomotives able to coast like freight cars in TRS?
