Marias Pass Two

[OldProf]

Now that the High Speed line is out fo the way perhaps we'll start seeing more information and screen shots for Marias Pass. It, and the Western Lines of Scotland hold my interest a lot more than 50 miles of high speed passenger service.

Based on the fact that no mention of Marias Pass has appeared on the Engine Driver (RSC blog) or RSC Facebook pages for quite a while, my guess is that "Western Lines of Scotland" is up for release well before Marias. I seem to recall mention of a March release date for WLS.

Sidebar: theater folk, especially of the British variety, are very superstitious of the title of what they insist on calling "the Scottish play". Perhaps railway folk should start referring to WLS as "the Scottish route"?

Ugh, RSC/their partners needs to stop making cool things. I told myself I wouldn't spend any more money on this game after I bought the K4 during the Christmas sale, now I plan on buying the SP SD45 when I get paid next week. Now the Marias Pass looks pretty cool, due in part to the fact that it's a pure BNSF route, and that will be another $20 (unless it goes to 75% off during the summer sale, which I kinda doubt it will) and that will necessitate the purchase of the Dash 9 pack...Sigh.

They'll probably include the Dash-9 in the pack since they've already made it, just like the SD40-2 on SH. I hope they make some SD70MAC's (prototypical) for the route and better double-stack containers. It would be pretty cool if they could make the ES44AC on par with the recently released Class 395. That trainset simply blows all of the rest away, and yes, the ICE3 is included in that.

I hope they make some SD70MAC's.

you will be glad to know that the SD70MAC was included in the SD70 pack 2, its painted in BN executive with the BNSF on the long hood.

Yes, but it would be nice if it were included is what I was aiming at.

@ Don. What do you have in mind when you say you want better double stack cars?

[donjgatlin]

Well, they only have one model of double stack well car. I think it would be cool to have some articulated double stack cars as well as some of these below:

[buzz456]

Gotcha. That would be nice. Maybe if we get the articulated auto cars he'll move on to some container cars.

Edit: NEVERMIND!

[donjgatlin]

How is this even remotely off topic? We're talking about what we'd like to see with Marais Pass.

Self edit.
