I assume this will include a scenario where you have to out run as steam loco while exiting a tunnel :)

Or more probably when your back gives out when exiting a tunnel... Then the "Thunderbird" comes to the rescue - a ten horse posse from the Ponderosa, with Big John and Hoss in the leading saddles.

If you're lucky. Manolito and Buck from the High Chaparral will also be in attendance... :D

All in good fun and joking, but those screenshots really make me hope that this is going to be a route set in times of the Western - old fashioned 4-4-0 USA steam engines, horse drawn coaches. 1880s - 1910s period and nothing modern!



Well, I don't know. Could still be 1950s, but really it makes me hope for something from at least a century ago.

A "straight" (no pumpkin - no skeleton) version of the Halloween Special 4-4-0 would be ideal for the Wild West period Tim mentions.

Then you could have a Great Locomotive Chase scenario. (Chase after the stolen engine using the pump truck, then another engine in reverse while the dispatcher leaves sleepers and burning boxcars on the track ahead of you).

Modelling the Confederate cavalry at the end of the scenario might be a problem, though.

In General that sounds like it could be a good scenario.
