I was thinking of ways that the fire up 611 campaign could raise some money and I thought what about a railworks model?
If not a 3Rd party arrangement, then RSC should do something like that. Both sides would benefit.
RSC benefits publicity for TS as Fire up 611 publicizes quite a bit, and the 611 campaign gains funds for their locomotive and extra publicity in places where the news may not have been heard.
It's just a thought, butI thought I'd share it. Any other thoughts?

What rsc will make tons of money? Multiplayer. Im telling you when rsc will have multiplayer, they will top all 3 sims. Period!

Maybe UP3985 is referring to the Norfolk & Western 4-8-4 Class J No611 steamlined locomotive that sits Idle at the Virginia Transportation Museum, Roanoke Shops that once hauled the Powhatan Arrow or the Pocahontas Streamliners in and out of Cincinnati and Norfolk at speeds well over 100+ MPH. Just guessing...
"Fire Up 611" organization hopes to raise the Million Dollars for the restoration of No611 by the Norfolk Southern's 21st Century Steam 2014 season.

I have thought for sometime it would be perfect for GTRAX,except it seems they are not going to do anymore locos. RSC is not going to to a profit-sharing style promotion,so that's not even a possibility. How did multiplayer come into this? I do not want to see the word player associated with this SIMULATION, RSC has already dumbed this down enough with game controller comparability. As someone who has seen the 611 many times under power,I would love to see it . But it will have to be a third party,and there are few engine builders in RW,period.
