My first reaction was "meh - we have lots of B&O repaints in our library", but then I read the description and there's a lot of good things in this pack.
Just to have these engines with Mike's braking system makes it well worth it. Last year I tried a few scenarios on the B&O route using the RF16 and it was almost impossible due to their poor braking.

I love this era of equipment, quick purchase decision for me.

Tbh having a single headlight f7 with 4 digit autonumbering probably has me the most excited. A lot of reskins like Buzz and the rest have done over the years for mainly the WP models can get a more proper auto numbering.

Oh wow! The same F7, GP9, and GP7 we have had for years in B&O paint scheme?! Wow! Revolutionary! Who woulda thought we would ever have a B&O GP9 in Train Simulator. That's absolutely amazing. I almost wanted something like N&W stuff for a second, or maybe like some new engines, but this?! Man, this is what everyone wanted to see.

No, not really, all the locomotive have had significant enhancements made, and new versions are offered. Plus freight equipment and new scenarios, etc.

Hey if you don't like it don't buy it. This is a public service announcement for those from Rio Linda.

I like everything about this pack except the GP7/GP9. The textures/texture techniques look dated as if it's something from the RW/RW2 days. Aside from that, great work on everything else!

I may have to pick this up in the future - always nice to see some B&O colors.

Hi all,

I've just uploaded a four-part local passenger scenario to the Workshop. Take control of B&O Train 30 (Parkersburg - Cumberland) across the Mountain Sub. Includes (lua) randomized flag stops -- you'll only know if you have to stop when you're approaching the depot.

Thanks, Michael...

What B&O passenger trains used the Mountain Sub. during the era of the Retro Pack? Where can I find consists and/or timetables?
