Interesting question...I kind of just put it the end automatically. In Britain, it is standard practice to run with a "brake" or "guards" van or coach at the end of the train, as you said. So I guess I'm just used to it.
The shot is more about atmosphere than realism though, but well done for spotting that.

I figured you it was due to the guard's van or luggage van traditionally being at the end of British consists, just thought I would point it out since I always strive for 100% accuracy or as close to possible, and in America I like to ride in the saloon carriage or 1st class carriage which is commonly at the end, so I notice the "tail carriage". I have made that mistake too though with a combine carriage.

Some 50+ years earlier, a quartet of old MUs also head towards Stamford.

Looking great man. I thought I had sent you the fixed version of my M2s as well as catenary. I will try sending then again.

I have M4s M6s M1s M3s planned as well. So expect those in the near future. :)
 
Thanks for the support everybody!

@Petrama25, that would be awesome, thank you.

@normhart and Jordan412: The catenary is by Gfisher. However the the MUs in the second picture are by Pweiser. Both are on the DLS.

A pair of SDP40Fs head up the Midnight Limited in early 1974. In a few months, this service will be expanded through to Chicago again and renamed the Midnight Arrow.

Locomotive is freelanced. Same with the tender design. The logo on the tender is based off 1940s war time war bond posters with a modern flag.
