True, isn't the M1 just a K4 with an extra axle of drivers?

The M1, so the story goes, was Altoona's answer to the USRA Mountains, and the Central's Mohawks, which were a USRA derivative.

The L1 was one of two designs used by USRA to develop the Heavy Mikado specification. They were remarkably heavy for their time, mainly because the Pennsy's robust infrastructure could handle something that big. The I1 started by replacing the L1's trailing truck with an extra driving axle, followed by stuffing the biggest boiler they could get away with on top of the frame. They ended up being less than ideally balanced, which is why they spent most of the time in helper service or pulling drags.

The J1 was a bit of a sore point, being a C&O design imposed on the Pennsy by the War Production Board, which was also a bit of a sore point. That's a different discussion for a different time.

And this, I placed my order a while back

Oh that's nice! The last of these ended their days in northern Jersey, alongside K4s back in the mid/late-'50s.

Is that a train master? Just like the Alco Centuries, we need Fairbanks-Morse power!

My top locos/routes I want for train sim. This gonna be very detailed so let's get into it.

1. The New York City Subway, accompanied by the R62 and R142 models...
This rapid transit system makes a cameo in both the Hudson Line and the NYNH line, though insufficiently and inadequately represented.

207th Street Yard.JPG

The 207th Street Yard can be seen from the Metro North's Hudson line near Spuyten Duyvil and Marble Hill. This is non-existent in the game though, but the 225th street bridge does make an appearance and includes a very short section of the 1 line, that I commend them for.

6 Train - Westchester Ave. Line.jpg

The 6 line, running from the Northeastern Bronx to City Hall, runs parallel to the Hell Gate line at Oak Point Yard for a little while. DTG chose to represent it instead as a highway. DTG probably thought they could get away with it as one cannot see the tracks from below, in the cab.

Astoria-Ditmars Blvd Station - Hell Gate Viaduct.jpg

This is the worst one of all, the Astoria Ditmars station, serving as a termianl for the N and W lines, does not exist, even though it is right under the viaduct on the approach to the Hell Gate Bridge...

2. NYC/PRR/NYNH&H EMUs. (The NYC ACMUs, the PRR MP54s, and the NYNH&H Pullman 4400-series "washboards").

PRR MP54 - New Jersey.jpg

a. The MP54 was the ancestor to the Silverliner and Arrow EMU families. The MP54 was originally a coach design, but most were converted and built into EMUs, the MP54s lasted for over 50 years in commuter service, from the PRR to the PC, then Conrail, then SEPTA/NJDOT. The MP54s were finally retired when the Arrow III and Silverliner IV cars came into service.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NYC-PC ACMU.jpg

b. The ACMUs were bought by New York Central and Penn Central railroads in the 1960s. They were the staple fleet of the Hudson and Harlem lines until the M1and M3 EMUs came in the 70s. There was also a similar type on the LIRR, classed MP72 or MP75. The LIRR cars were bought for the 1964-1965 World's Fair and were soon after turned into push-pull coaches. The LIRR push-pulls were retired when the Kawasaki C3 bi-level railcars came.
All the Ex-NYC/PC/CR/MTA ACMUs were retired in 2004, with the arrival of the M7As.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
c. The Pullman 4400 series EMUs were built in the 1910-1920s for the New York, New Haven, and Hartford railroad. They were nicknamed "washboards," because of their steel or aluminum? fluting on the sides. They were retired in the 1970s, replaced by the M2 "Cosmopolitans." (That being said I would also like M1/M2/M3/M4/M6s)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And here's my 2 cents. I love PRR/NYC-PC-CR era commuter equipment, and the MP54s would be a great addition for the ex-Pennsy NEC, the ACMU for the Hudson line, and Washboards for the NYNH route.

TheR62Fan You're a local person like me so you must know the Metro North route and history. Did you know about this ? http://www.iridetheharlemline.com/2015/ ... ott-haven/

Surfliner Northbound Route TS2020 would be sweet my wish.

Huh, I never knew there was a lost station on the Harlem Line. (Rolling Stock is my strongest point. ) I'm now thinking of backdating my Harlem line route to the late New Haven-NYC era to add this thing!

But there is very little information about it. 'Tis a shame.

Conrail
CP Rail (Red and Black versions)

I concur with Goldeneye48. I love the quality of the SS SD40-2 and would love to see more of them released. I realize that as a two man team that content production is slow.

My suggestion: Alco FAs On the Wasatch Route.

[buzz456]

If anyone can tell me if they ever put out the update with the PRR antennas as child objects like was promised we could get to getting on doing some repaints of these puppies.

[wlenz781]

I don't know, because like you I am waiting to buy it until they do.

[drjayyyy]

What exactly are child objects ? I've seen that used when discussing repaints.
