A new 3ft truescale US route is avaliable.

Have a look at my post at http://forums.atomic-systems.com/viewtopic.php?t=21860

Countess will need a new boiler after that trip.

Nice looking route

. Glad to know American NG, though not as good as British NG in my view, is still represented in MSTS

Oooo, there's fightin' talk.

I love the US NG stuff, a pity so much of the stock their lads built for MSTS was made to standard gauge before XTRacks 3ft NG arrived on the scene.

Driving a US NG train isn't like driving a NG train at all - not like a UK one for example. It's just like driving a hugely powerful shrunken mainline engine but up some vertigo inducing mountainside!

Sure you don't mean Ffestiniog

Sure, I like the D&RGW locos, but not much else is as good as a DF or a Garratt.
