I hope the build quality will be the same, as there code 75 range is getting harder to source I know of only 2 dealers who carry a decent range. For me its better than the offerings from Atlas and Shinohara and its ideal track in our sun-room.

Since Katrina Amtrak has been suspended across the Panhandle, but earlier this year a test train toured the line as part of a feasibility study

If it goes wrong, change it to grainy black and white and call it art.
It does work, I often want a shot at a wedding and to get it I have to think Ill have to use B&W as you said .

For something calling itself "Sun Rail", that's an awful lot of windscreen wipers...
The rain here in Florida is terrible, I never saw anything like it in the UK. its hard to describe.

Not me but a couple of former colleagues , Use the neck strap/ I had a colleague who dropped a 500 c/m Blad from a Sea King and another drop a Nikon F3 from a Wessex both had one way conversations with the boss. These offenses weren't repeated

I looked around and found this :-
Looks interesting (!) - I didn't think of anything quite as complicated as this.
Another nice shunting route is free called Hedborough North, theres a superb rendition of The Wycombe branch ( which covers from Maidenhead all the way past Princess Risborough and one of my favorites the crabenmore branch a Scottish branch all freeware

The quality of TS2016 has come on a lot since Kuju did Microsoft Train Simulator.
I don't have a fantastic PC I'm a Mac user but these were taken on a newish PC with the siders set between 2/5 to 4/5th of the max.

I've never found a train sim that does what I want. I "like" shunting and shunter problems. My idea would be something like a model railway on a PC - a top down 3D simple representation of a branch line where a pick-up goods could waddle up and down dropping off and picking up wagons whilst doing a bit of switching around in each yard.
A long, long time ago there was a very simple screensaver which showed a very diagrammatic train movement.
So, what about some freight - particularly shunting ?
.
TS2016 does have quite a few shunting scenarios and quite a few that are in "The Workshop" an online area where users upload their creations for others. You can even create your own with a simple program within the game itself. The view can also be changed from cab view to side view, line side view and overhead view.

Ive really enjoyed TS2016 so much so Ive purchased a gaming PC to play it and it hurt me to say that as a Mac user. Ive also been looking at Sigsim this week which looks interesting.

Just bought my first PC in 15 years so I can play Train Simulator 2016 and have ben impressed so far, enough so that Im contemplating building a gaming pc to run the game maxed out. The quality is much improved over the original MSTS version.

Very cool, but not the coolest Ive seen, the coolest El Camino I saw was the one with Gene Hackman in
, The El Camino is my favorite US car and my Daughter loves the 68 Impala. Great work with the car love it.Andy
Very close, its a '59 El Camino (Impala pickup truck).
We've finished restoring it now. Fantastic to drive, really puts a smile on your face.

Decided I wasn't happy with the 3mm leds. So I've swapped them out for smd ones and the difference is huge. Light spread is much better now and they actually look scale rather than the somewhat oversize 3mm leds.
Reminiscent of Edward Hopper Nighthawks.

Well my local tourist development centre this weekend published a photo to celebrate/ commemorate the rather patriotic American holiday, Memorial Day.
Is that a Ford? or a Chevy? maybe its a GMC vehicle????????

The fact that Amtrak can't spell their own name?

Del Boys Reliant is a regular in our household but then we did bring it over with us.

The only nice thing about the G&W is here they have a tendency to buy old wrecks which makes for a quite colorful scene seeing old fallen flags but they then pain them.

Depends on the mood, something heavy/ joyful its Holst's Planets for me or if relaxing with a drink and a book its something by Spohr like clarinet concertos 1-4

PECO Announces Bullhead Track for OO

Dominion, Ive used them twice and was impressed with their service. Sometime when I needed a lot of items I can order from the UK but my supplier here in Florida is great. One of the few things we have here that I think is better than back home is not the actual postal service itself, but the services offered. We have flat rate boxes (tubes and triangle too) which are free and you pay a flat rate if theres 1 piece of flextrack or a whole box which is why I try and source items here in North America. So hopefully MRI will carry the range if not hopefully Britannia also in Canada will. I doubt my supplier here in Florida will have any call for UK type track.
