What abiut NS? NS owns more of CR than CSX does.

What abiut NS? NS owns more of CR than CSX does.

Yes they do but it was still a joint purchase and CSX still owns 42% of Conrail. So I'm pretty sure RSC would need permission from both companies if they wanted to produce anything Conrail.

(...)Niche locomotives that fit just one geographic area or railroad? What a waste. What happened to the locomotive building program over there? In early 2011, RSC was hitting home runs with the SD70, SW1500, and GP9 - locos that just about all RR's used and can still be found today. Then the well went dry. AEM-7? Nice for the 10 million people along the NEC but what about the other 310 million of us? GG1 and K4? Outdated, and again confined to one particular RR or area. Now the SD75. Looks a lot like a 70MAC, were as popular as crotch warts, and the last time I saw one on a prototype was ohh, two weeks from never. And the F40P? I've seen one in my whole life and it was dead heading to a scrap yard.

With all due respect, Sir, but one should not judge others by one's own standards.
I for my part really look forward to these two upcoming locos. And that although I haven't seen any of them in my lifetime and I obviously don't live where they are in service.
While I certainly understand the desire for locos one has seen with one's own eyes and one is used to and has grown to appreciate, I also wish to have other types of locos, mybe not so common at first notion.
And then, an F40PH? I think that this is/was as a very common type seen all over the US and Canada. You can't say that this is a niche loco and i dare to say that the SD70 is one either.

However, some more common types would be nice to have as well. I'd especially like to see CSX on the roaster in the future.

Just my

I could have swore that this was said to be released on the third (3) some time ago.....havent heard anything about it yet?????

[robbit]

Yes it was stated that but I asked about it on their Facebook page a bunch of times yesterday and they finally responded that it was penciled in for the coming few weeks and would let us know when they do

[Arctic Cat ZRT]

Thats RSC for you, honestly I wish they would just announce a release date when they know they would be able to release it, not this whole guessing games constantly.

[Riko1605]

Ok Thank you for your answer that's what I wanted to know

I just thought the SD75 was constructed to be competing with GE and its Dash9

[ex-railwayman]

Hmm, I was under the impression that the SD75 were CN liveried, so, how come the screenshots on RSC's website show them as BNSF, is it because they've bought a licence and therefore have to use it for every locomotive built in the future??

I can certainly add my thumbs up for a C30-7, or, a U-Boat, but, they were scrapped in the late 1980's weren't they, and I don't know if there are any routes freely available currently that we could use one in an authentic setting, unless one of you fine Gentleman can prove me wrong.

Cheerz. ex-railwayman.

I am not going to complaine about them changing the release date, as many of you recall this is what they aleayse did over a year ago....and by not giving themselfs a specific deadline they produced more high quality models and routs using this type of deadline (sw1500, gp9 packs for an example). I think they learned from donner pass that meeting a deadline is not as important as the quality of what you are releasing! :)
