RSC's Northeast Corridor

[styckx]

I read the zoo interlocking is the most complicated junction Adam has had to ever build in RW2. Adam I am sure it will be fine. It is indeed quite the conglomeration of track in that area. Impossible to get it it 100% unless Amtrak gave you a helicopter tour. :)

The Washington DC Yards & Union Station is worst, but i like these challenges.

O.T. question to B&O fans....

Are these PCL lights similar enough to CPL's that I could "get by with" using them on Sandpatch?

I would say yes, they are "Close Enough" to be used.

Shots of Philadelphia were just released. For the first time.

Philly skyline looks well enough represented. Distinguishable enough for what is needed in a train simulator. It blows away what MSTS had available. Only suggestion would be is that the liberty place towers should be more instantly recognizable, which they currently aren't at all. NYC has the Empire State Building as the skyline icon, Liberty Place towers are Philly's.

Minor thing but something that did stand out.

RS.com just announced on Facebook:
The Northest Corridor Expansion Pack will be available 25th of August!


Can't wait.

Does this mean they finally got the Amtrak license?

[styckx]

It's not blurred out anymore so it's safe to assume they did.

Styckx I live in philly, im confused as to where the amtrak station is in relation to the city, I dont think their placement is geographically correct as the skyline is to the east of the station not north or south. hard to tell in the photos. Must be the upper deck of the station from what i see now. I will be replacing their liberty place with mine when its released and adding the bluecross building, and other recognizeable buildings. I know theres only 1 comcast tower(tallest building in philly) not 4-5 like their city represents. so i will be fixing that as well. everything looks sharp with the amtrak station though.

[styckx]

The station is technically west of the city. RSC's appears correct. It's really hard to not get that right.

Looks like I will be starting the extension Project once release. FUN FUN LOL!

[styckx]

I plan on just dressing mine up more.. God knows they are on a budget and it won't be brick for brick, building for building, stolen bike for stolen bike, drug dealer for drug dealer accurate. :) Personalizing it will be fun. :)

Ian and styckx,

Are your Philly changes something that could be installed by others if you were to upload them?

Most likely not.
