Very impressive shots removed.

Wow, very sweet shots.
Which route is that (and where can I find it)?

That F is new, ground up. We are in the process of (actually) making new GP's, so there will be a metric ton of new stuff coming out this year.

What is that last F unit trailing, the scheme interests me.

Join the club...

My thoughts exactly.

It's a WIP of Bozeman Pass by montanawestren, so you can only get it in the future where things are very shiny. If only Cole wouldn't keep planning extensions it might come out sooner :hehe:
Thanks for the complements everyone.

Cheers

Looks fantastic but where's the caboose that should be riding behind #904?

Usually the crummy is being shoved by the trailing rear end loco, as the rear end helper is cut off at the top of the grade

Not usually with locomotives such as these. With the safety of the crew in mind, the caboose usually road behind locomotives such as the H8s and AGs, that were powerful enough to telescope cars.

Long C&O coal drag with H-8 pusher, leaving Avis Yard, Hinton, WV, 1950.

Also, they would never shove on wooden caboose's. Those where far too weak to take that kind of load.

NKP 765 and C&O 2716 lug a long excursion train through Eastern Kentucky while a local waits on the Siding.

2 of LK&R's SD40-2 fleet are seen here working an intermodal yard with LK&R's new 48ft Wellcars.

Went rail fanning back in 2010 on the Lincoln Secondary. Didn't see much, just a CSX manifest, an NS auto train, an NS extra, and a CSAO local. The local was behind 2 SW1500 locomotives, one owned by NS, the other by LLPX. I chased this local for a while, but I stopped while it was starting to leave Monroe for Lincoln Park, wanting to head back to catch the NS extra arriving. I'd received a heads up that it had a caboose on it, so I dashed over, in time to see it, already there. About 20 minutes later, the CSAO local pulled in. He idled for a minute, but then a crew member stepped out of the cab and got on the NS extra. The conductor applied the handbrakes, and cut the couplers. He then also got into the extra. The extra soon left...

I really can't remember the loco...it says "Minnesota Commercial" on the side. For running passenger service, look for MP54 Lackawanna and MP54 Lackawanna Trailer on the DLS, as they ran well into the seventies. If you are lucky you might come across a newer payware version of the same MU car by magicland if I remember correctly, although I don't think they are publically available any more. Any fifties or sixties freight cars and locos would be good.

I found "Minnesota Commercial" on DLS and it works fine.

I also found MP54s on DLS, but they have about "one million errors" which I don't understand at all, so absolutely it's not possible to use them in TS12 HF3. I tried to convert it to actual trainz-build and make some fixes like convert pm to im, but no success.

In any case thanks for the help with fifties or sixties rolling stock recommend and Minnesota...
