Hi, Edsolis: Downloaded 7722. Thanks for the tip. It's a lovely model: The detail on the various builders and owners plates is outstanding.
Just a couple of questions:
Any idea what they sounded like?
Are there any downloadable Spanish routes suitable for running it on? (hopefully from a source where there are at least partial instructions in English, as with the engine.)
Thanks,
Cliff

Reawakening memories of train-spotting in the late 1950's and 1960's : Colne, Skipton, Hest Bank, Preston (Farington), Hellifield, Pilmoor, York South, Dawlish and Swansea. Great times!
Sorry for replying so late.
The Class 7700 locomotives operated in the north-west of Spain, mainly in the very mountainous León-Gijón line through Pajares Pass which is currently being developed for MSTS: http://www.trensim.com/foro/viewtopic.p ... 428#139428
In the meantime I recommend you the León-Sahagún route: http://www.trensim.com/lib/pafiledb.php ... file&id=13
About the sounds, I remember them as quite noisy, similar to this: http://www.trensim.com/lib/pafiledb.php ... ile&id=473
