Plastikman, your pack is awesome. Since I am a Canadian train freak, I love what you've done. However, with the next US and Canada pack, could you please put in a Canadian steam engine?

Please?

but i did whip up ... umm .. see photo ... lol it looks black and white.. not my best but it will do. yup 20th Century Ltd.

i have enough passenger stuff to make a Pre amtrak pack with about 15 named trains in about 12 liveries. is there any intrest in a 1930's-1971 passenger pack amtrak style?

PS. the running gear works on the steamers.....

That would be awesome. Then, you could make a giant US rail pack from the 1930s or earlier to the present and near future, like the TTDPatch US Set.

Nice little sneak peak!

I guess everybody here would love a addition like that, since the '30-'50 period marked the ending of passenger travels in the US. The luxury streamliners unfortunatly couldn't compete with the cheap and fast airliners.
I was hoping to see more from this era personally

I was also wondering if you're still planning for seperate packs? - Like discussed before, something like a Union Pacific or Sante Fe pack. I hope you'll work out something like this, a standard pack (a steamer, dieselloc, passenger car, a boxcar etc.) in several liveries?

An early photograph of the City of Los Angeles, a UP streamliner.

You probably already know, but check the UP site if you nice good pictures of the older rolling stock.

Keep up the work.

Another question, do you plan on doing some New york rolling stock? I think of the EMUs like used by Metro North, or the subway cars. It could be interesting in a dense urban environment.

Oh, and the pack is GREAT !

anything that involves steamers is a great idea. i like your style, plastikman. you've got the no-nonsense yet playful attitude of a true set builder. great stuff.

~yawn~ no time to make mods.... well, I am trying to continue with the modern. we need a few more newer diesels like the GE units and a few more SD's. i just got a few safty cab EMD units so i hope to start on those.

at the same time i would like to go backwards and get to the carbody diesels. i got the ok on a lot of f's and e's so i have been working slowly on FT's, F3's and F7's and some E-units. but i hate to release E's as passenger locos without cars to go with them. i also want to start on the alcos and baldwin diesels. find some U-Boats... then see if we have time for steam. something this game is really lacking.

i might just start jumping around in time. i am not sure yet.

anways... i cant decide on what daylight to use since can do smoothside pullmans or the older heavywieghts. here is the smoothside daylights, with a metra train(with cabcar on the back), set of A-B-B-A F7 SP black widows, an ugly SD60m, a Great northern RDC2, New Haven RS1, Soo RS3, New Haven S1, A Great Northern S2 and a Soo SW1200.. oh yeah and a umm new tank(er) car..

Not suprised. Probably grinds too. Cost a fortune on paint.

Btw, What's the loading gauge on that monster?

Yea!! An RDC car! Finally!

I bet that ship won't go too far, must have been a really high tide to get on land

You know, i have no clue, it has no stats at all ... just a boat. technically it is a coal/ore ship.. but, i am sure if i had it haul oil no one would mind.... anywho it was mostly a test to see if i could do a ship i dont think it will ever actually get released. but who knows.... ? if i like it enough i might try to release it. i need to find a happy medium for size vs clipping and load...

did the QM2 clip bad? i never tried it...
