Any one notice that there is no NS reporting marks?


So technically this isn't a heritage unit but a full blood Southern unit.


Thats pretty Cool!

Yes, my next door neighbour drives a Porch 911.....

Has this locomotive been replicated in our game, does anyone know please, I haven't seen any Southern units about, but, I may have missed something.
